Thank you all for the information! I don't plan on doing a ton to the car if I do get it...other than Europipe exhaust and a tune...maybe ipd plenum and ypipe. The one I am looking at is in excellent condition around 40k miles, just wanted some peace of mind from you gentlemen before I pull the trigger

Kevin from UMW did mention that the front diff is not strong enough for launch control like the 997.2 diffs. Maybe it is not totally failsafe..
