I did chuckle a bit when I first read your post. Then I thought to myself, funny is funny,... but when a option is free and is chosen, then it is really just a choice, not an option.

Your joke is valid, & especially love the lightweight dash option,... which really would have been a "chrono delete" choice (if free) for track oriented cars. The German's really do make sense when I twist my American brain up and try to think like they do, Lol.

We get bullsh*t in the high-end audio business. Boutique brands that come up with "minimalist" designs with fewer parts but charge more for it. I don't believe in minimalist parts. I believe in the best engineering.

I’m told it has all original paint, a clean DME report, and has a 5-lug conversion (has original parts and wheels to convert back to stock if desired). You can contact Darrell at Karpark if you are interested or have any questions.

^^^^^That cold start video with the smoke is going to throw the BaT peanut gallery in the comments section into an absolute frenzy.

This market is a roller coaster.
RS inventory has dried up.

Agree, I would actually be worried if it didn’t smoke at startup. I would wonder if the engine was a Mezger or not. Lol

^^^^Absolutely LOVE the yellow gauges. Especially if they compliment PCCBs.
What steering wheel is that? Assuming not the original since it has the RS stripe.

It's funny the guy who watches my car asked if it is normal that the car smokes up on cold startup. So did another friend of mine who just got a GT3. sounds like that is the mark of the mezger. My fathers turbo does too!

What do you think it will go for? I guessed $175k on the last one with 2400 miles on it and it closed at $182k plus fees. I'll say $175k plus fees on this one.

EDIT: Maybe buckets will add $5k so make it $180k

The mileage is low but not unicorn level, the car has some mods which some may not like, and the MSRP is low. I'm guessing $160-165k.
I want to see a low mileage, bone stock, hyper-spec .2 GT3 hit the auction block. I think we could see a hammer price starting with a 2.
