I'll change the subject here, since so many over on BaT seem to want to claim how the .1 body looks so much better than the .2 - I am definitively in the opposite camp. There is soooo many things about the .2 that I like better than the .1.
just sayin' - I put my vote for looks in the .2 camp.

Achieved price seems fair, similar to the white .1RS that sold in February. Someone who genuinely wants an RS will generally research the BS and smoke.

Congrats to buyer and seller of the RS. I think a fair price for both parties.

I think that was a very fair price on the Orange RS. Congrats to both parties!

wow, ^^^ now your attacking Doug? ... what purpose does that serve,.... really.
anyway,... back to regularly scheduled programming....
I know you guys think pcar market is sub-stnd,... but I still think that with less bidders in the room, there's opportunity to get a deal.... anyway, this one still has zero bids with 4 days left....
.... it's another car out of Canada, but the speedo says "MPH" ...
( ... shame no undercarriage pics)

When I had the coolant lines pinned in the fall of 2019 I would have done the RMS if I felt it needed doing, considering I spent 10K at Weissach on entirely preventative work, another <1k to change out the RMS obviously wouldn't have made any difference to me.
Referencing the memo from Porsche regarding the RMS leak on 997 GT3's, this letter was issued in 2008, that means within the first year enough owners complained about leaking RMS that Porsche decided to prepare and issue a technical response to owners. Replacement of RMS seems to have a 50/50 success rate with respect to 'eliminating' the leak, if it really bothers you, install the TT RMS and be done with it.

I hope the white on red RS does well, but until a DME is posted that may hold it back. In order to submit your car, it should be required to have DME. It just eliminates that question that you know everyone is going to ask. DME reports may be slightly over played as someone could have bounced it off the rev limiter on cold oil, but it is one indicator that is useful for knowing how the car was driven.

Best of luck with the sale. I was thinking about your GT3 recently since it was for sale at the same time I was buying mine and I was considering both. Was wondering when you would be selling again. Your spec is so good, you should have no problem selling.

I'm amazed at the number of stage ones I see. That's a lot of bad driving LOL.

No idea why they placed Range 1 so high, ABOVE the rev limit, in 997 GT3. This way, every ignition in every range is solely due to bad downshifts. And a car that's been bounced against the rev limit all its life will show ZERO over-revs as long it has been downshifted correctly.

This is true. Maybe I should have specified that it doesn't mean it has been tracked. Since you could bounce it off the limiter all day long on the track and never get an over rev. My point was that you could bounce it off the limiter all day on cold oil and that won't show up. But someone could downshift a bit early on the street and get an over rev.
