I was initially confused too. But my (non expert) interpretation is that somebody revved into range 2 (also hitting range 1) one single, very brief moment, and then the car has continued on in its happy existence. Ready for you to purchase worry free since it happened a while ago!

. Yea I was just joking this report is a non-event and I’d look more at maintenance intervals, I don’t know how many owners it had but I would guess 3 and the 2nd owner is responsible for these over revs and it’s been babied since.

From my informal doing the same over time with these 997 gt cars, that seems on the lower end of average speed.

IMO that's a clean DME, nothing to worry about here...

I wish I had the OEM wheels in black. The white is very niche. There are days I like it, but others where it looks too much.

Since it's a Canadian car the Carfax is a bit confusing in terms of ownership and Porsche's system shows that it was a CPO car in 2013, 2015, 2017 which makes me think one of the owners kept selling it back to himself to renew CPO warranty through the dealer every 2 years.

I'm curious to what it is for the middle of the bell curve. I just calc'd mine and it's at 22 (26kmiles, 1200 hours).

Hard to tell... I've added 3 owners to mine because I bought it under one LLC and have moved it twice to others doing estate planning.

I bought it as a last hurrah before the arrival of my 3rd child, hoping it would make sense to keep it even with 3 kids. Well, now that kid is here and I find that I barely have time to sleep or shower, and seriously considering whether it makes sense to take up a spot in the garage for a car I won't be driving for a few years. Still in 'feeler' stages, will probably regret selling this, hence the hesitation I'm sure all the owners have felt when thinking about selling.

Details:
White on black, white wheels, full leather, red belts, red gauges
264xx miles
No overrevs in any range
clean carfax
coolant lines not pinned or welded
currently in shop for new water pump, thermostat, coolant overflow tank

asking 157k

keep it, kids grow quickly and there is nothing wrong with a hot wheels in the garage until you find time to use it again. You will definitely regret it.

GRP is getting in this black 6k-mile .2 GT3 with PCCB and sport bucket seats. Was at SW Vintage in 2022, then at GP Motors and RFM in 2023. Think the asks were $225k then.

VIN: WP0AC2A94AS783141

Video from 2022 when at SW Vintage of the car:
