Seems low mileage but am I reading too much into the front lip and looking this it went off into some gravel or something with all those scratches to it (or some decent track time given the roll cage)? Sorry, new to the forum but looking at acquiring a 997 GT3.
Front lip looks pretty normal to me although slightly more worn than normal. Nothing that would concern me too much, I would look more at the front bumper which seems to be ok given the PPF. What you will notice is the rotors are worn. There are cracks originating from the drilled rotors. They aren't extending to the other holes, so maybe not bad enough for replacement but the car may have seen some track time. I would want to check underneath for ***** of rubber or other signs of track use. The cars are well suited for the track so I wouldn't be super concerned.
Looks like a good car overall. Always though silver looked good on gen 1. The paint meter photos where it was reading 11.5 are hard to tell where exactly on the car they were taken. If it’s on the front fender with clear bra, this makes sense... otherwise iffy if it’s on the quarters on actual paint.
Hard to tell, but I just assume that was on the clear bra areas. I would want that to be clarified before I bid.
My guess is that is this car. The VIN has code 741 press finish and there was only 1 gray black GT3RS for 2011 with that option according to **********. WP0AC2A92BS783236

Appreciate your insights - certainly helpful as I review the vehicle.
What does "press finish" mean exactly? How does a car with that option differ from one without it?
From my Google-Fu exercise, basically some extra effort was put into making sure the quality of fit and finish was high. They want to make sure the person reviewing the car got a perfect example.

This is my understanding too. On the 991 cars, there are plenty of them that have been used at the Experience Center without a code, so it seems to be less useful now. If you find a car that was auctioned off from Georgia and has a couple thousand miles on it all the way up to 10k miles, it was probably used at the Experience Center. It also potentially could have been an Executive Car in ATL, but some of those have dealer service records from one of the two ATL dealers, since they would have been serviced for routine things like tires while the executive was using the car.
