Absolutely! It was tragic that all 997.1 GT3s for the North American market received sunroofs. This car corrects that!

Agreed. I'm very excited to be on the cusp of picking up a ROW spec 997.1 clubsport later this week (luckily, we have the more lenient 15 year importation rule here in Canada).

it is far from stock which makes it a tough sell

Doug demuro weirdly said his carrera gt gets almost no attention.

says people that do notice say things like “my neighbor has a carrera too”

Wonderdan

that’s an opportunity then for someone

1) all the parts are prob there
2) any track time it “did” have wore on the GMG parts, so calipers/rotors etc are great condition prob (not enough miles even at the track to wear the hubs)
3) everything they changed is suspension or cosmetic, most of that I’d leave because it’s better than OE, $3k in labor would take that whole car back to stock in full even the things that “sound hard” like the clutch and shifter kit
4) the tranny was rebuilt like 4K miles ago so it’s essentially new

Blue/Gold .2 RS. 7k miles, PCCB, and full leather. Asking $430k. I personally prefer this car over the one at Merit Partners as no sport chrono, FAL, PCM, white gauges, and rollbar. Previously owned by @C.J. Ichiban .

that car is awesome…

RapidGT

I assume it’s no contest for you guys if you’d rather have that 997.2 RS or this 992 RS they also have that isn’t a ton more.

I would rather trade with someone for a month to get the 992 out of my system, but I have a feeling 5000 miles on THAT 997 will cost a lot more than the 992 long term

Any of those blues w/the gold/silver under 10k I think will end up in collections, even if those are called dealer inventory (they just feel like the new collector who’s cars also happen to be for sale) esp since we lost one last year to Dubai

We just got in this 2008 Porsche GT3RS.

Collector quality condition with only 2500 original miles.

DM or email me at scott@grahamrahalperformance.com with any interest!

I was just about to post this one too. Such a great spec. $430k tho ouch 🤕.

Is the price differential between a 997.1 vs 997.2 RS really worth it based on the driving experience for those that have driven both?

Upscale Audio

Why did they take it down? Sold that quick?

Chris.C

Wow you're right. I saw it not even 30 min ago.

RapidGT

I like the shorter gearing, sharper front end, and extra power/torque from the 3.8L motor. However it’s not worth $100k more. I’m not even convinced it’s worth the delta from GT3 to GT3 RS and I own an RS. Picked it up when the market was less than half of what it probably is now. White/gold .2 RS with 1900 miles for $195k in June 2020. Unless the 3.8’s get within spitting distance of a 4.0, I’ll have it to the day I die then my son gets it who worships it.
It’s still there. For some reason that link doesn’t work anymore. The production numbers they posted are off.

Magnus Walker video of the White Collection that’s going up for auction next month. Have a 997.1 and 997.2 RS going up on the block. I do love white Porsche’s (especially on motorsports cars), but 50+ in that is a bit much. Would want some variety.
