It's obvious to me that you're not aware of the various uses of these giant aero components. It's not just about driving fast and needing the additional downforce. When I take my GT3 to cars and coffee, I use the rear wing as a table for my coffee and scones. Trust me, I need that rear wing.

Beautiful car. But the price is in .2 GT3 territory which I prefer the .2 GT3 in every way. The only thing that I like better about the .1 GT3 is the fact that you don’t have to deal with center locks, but center locks has been and probably will remain the only option on 997.2 and newer GT 911’s.

Nice price increase after adding 12k miles. I need to go drive my car more and put some miles on.

Agree, it's a high asking price. Guessing the higher MSRP is what they are hoping will bring in the money. If it is a clean car, then it should bring $100k or so. But I understand most wanting to go for the .2 at that point. So many positives and negatives for each .1 and .2.

Yeah, 2012 or so was the lower point for the 997 GT3 market. So it makes sense that they increased over that time. I think so far, the high point was 2016 or so for those cars.

Default Don’t forget to check the PCA ads!

Not sure if you fellas saw this car, it had sofas but look at the spec, color and miles. One owner and 1800 miles and the price! Drop some buckets In it and let it rip. I think it sold for 165k.

Got the GT3 home earlier this week. It’s been over a year searching and I couldn’t be happier. Doug was a huge help and o thank him for that!!

Amazing car, pristine condition. Absolutely perfect for me! Super excited. These cars are just sooooo good!

First step is to add back seats and replace the exhaust back to stock with maybe some side deletes. Need to find the parts!!

The M&M full system sounds insanely good but a bit too much for us. If anyone is interested in this system, let me know.

Congrats! From your profile pic it looks great.

Are you looking for part numbers for the stock exhaust? If so, I can grab those for you. I think Sharkwerks has side delete pipes, but I know for a fact that Soul does, Fabspeed may as well.

You may also want to consider doing stock side mufflers and a Sharkwerks center. It is just loud enough, without being too much. That is the setup most go with.

Pulled the trigger today with Doug, Daniel, and Thomas at Switchcars on the white 08 GT3 Doug put on this thread earlier this week.


They could not have been nicer to work with. Crazy set of circumstances but they actually delivered it to me in Columbus today (that is not part of their normal service). I put about 50 miles on it today before the rains started moving in.

First impression, It feels very raw compared to my c2s. The Club seats are a pain to get in and out of but I love them (so I don't plan to sell them, before you ask). The PCCB brakes are noticeably better than my c2s. The clutch feels a little heavier and the shifter feels more pronounced (almost like it is gated). It is an amazing car!

Thanks again, Doug, Daniel, and Thomas as well as Bxstr for leading me to Switchcars. All first rate Guys!

Congrats! Glad things worked out and that car is staying local. There are two other 997 GT3 owners down in Columbus that are also on Rennlist. Maybe more. You know where to find me if you think of other stuff along the way. You have a really nice one, the CGT seats and RS wing are some of the highlights of that car. Drive and enjoy.

I inquired about this car and was sent a few rough pics. Low price for the mileage FAL and PCCB’s. California tags. Anyone know anything about this car? I see just from the pics the rear lid is pinned on. Looking forward to seeing the dealer pics when posted. 19,600 miles 129,900 https://www.grandprimotors.com/used/...a8aa6e27f2.htm
