Default considering selling my very well setup GT4

I just bought a 996 cup so I can start racing and am considering selling my GT4. the car is really well set up and comes with everything you need to run DE.
the engine etc is stock as I believe in improving the driver over buying headers etc.

The car has fast times on all major east coast tracks and I will supply video and track precision data so you have comparison material if interested.

car has been very well and proactively maintained. Engine, exhaust etc all stock and never touched. All modifications where for track safety, convenience, control of running cost and suspension optimization.
Car has had zero incidents and never an off or an impact on the track.

it is a summer 2015 build with 96k sticker relatively low spec with LWB, white, leather, sports chrono and nav, black wheels and a number of smaller options
  • new transmission (not the 3rd gear problem but there was a sound that Porsche couldn't diagnose so they replaced the transmission under warranty)
  • new clutch (the old clutch which is good as new comes in a box; did clutch it as the transmission was out so Porsche replaced it without the 1k labor cost)
  • 2 new Cats under warranty

Upgrades to Car
  • Cantrell roll bar
  • full wrap in Expel so pristine paint
  • 6 point shroth harness for driver and passenger
  • stud conversion for easy trackside wheel changes
  • rear tpc toelinks
  • track alignment but very drivable on street
  • set of 19" OZ ultralegarra with RE 71R (only 4 HC)
  • 1 extra front and 1 extra rear tire (19 RE71R) with 50& life left (NJMP wears lefts out much faster than rights)
  • set of 20” fresh winter tires (<500mi)
  • 12 quart coolshirt bag and tubing
  • BodyMotion tow hitch to tow tire trailer
  • southsport tiretrailer with toolbox (so you can drive safely home in the rain) after cording your track tires on the track
  • all stock suspension parts and lugnuts
  • APJ rotors which enables you to just change the rotor itself saving you a 750 per rotor change.
  • full extra set of brakepads DS11.1
  • used rotors that still have 30% life in them

I am not going back and forth with pictures etc. its a white GT4 with 21k miles

To build it and set it up like this you will probably run 125-135k including labor. interested in offers over 110k

Nice listing. I'm curious about the Bodymotion tow hitch. It's not on their website and may be something I'd be willing to get along with a tire trailer.

Sorry if this is obvious to everyone else but is that 21,000 miles on the car? I know it says that, but it's in a weird place and parenthesis, and that's a high number for a GT car, so I'm just making sure I interpreted it right.

Thanks!

its a high number for a garage queen.... this car is for fun...

driving from Philly to NJMP, WGI, VIR and 2 trips to south Florida adds up

last winter I had the car stored in Orlando so every track day there included a trip from Orlando to Sebring or Daytona.

Not sure why peeps are in a tiff over 21,000 miles. My 997.2 GT3 had 36k miles at time of my purchase.

It's a gas combustion engine, not good to be just be sitting around. If the DME range report checks out, it sounds like it was taken cared of.

No "tiff" here. Found the placement in the ad confusing.

LOL, you must lead a calm life if you consider the above two quotes "tiff-like".

It wasn't a "judgement;" it was a statement of fact. 21,000 is a lot of miles for a GT car. I would imagine it puts the OP in the upper 1 percent of all GT4 owners. My wife and I have barely put 21,000 miles on five different cars over the period of time the GT4 has been in America.

I wish I had that many miles on my car! Makes me sad when I think about how little I get to actually drive the GT4. That kind of mileage is nothing and if I hadn't been so excited about the GT4 and bought it new, I probably would be looking for a pre-setup car in a year or two with some miles but still under warranty.

Easy problem to solve. Loan me the vehicle and I'll get it up to speed for you. That way you get your high miles and I keep my low miles. ����
