I copied this from Porsche Panorama website -- Mart Fresh picks generally fall into a few distinct categories — cars that we’re drawn to because they’re conspicuous bargains, and cars that we just flat out love and want. And while this car is priced appropriately, it falls squarely into the latter category. The 996 GT3 is perhaps one of the most underrated Porsches in the market at the moment. As a pure, unfiltered, visceral driving experience, it might just be the finest water-cooled 911 yet built and possibly ever. It’s the ’73 Carrera RS 2.7 of modern 911s, one of the last analog Porsches. And with an empty weight of a hair under 3,000 pounds, a sweet and bulletproof “Mezger” flat-six engine, incredibly tactile hydraulic steering, and relatively low-key looks (not to mention one model year only U.S. availability), it’s difficult to imagine that these will be sub-six-figure cars for much longer. $80,000 for a car with less than 18,000 miles seems like a spot-on ask. Only the fact that it’s a more sedate black rather than the Speed Yellow that people seem to love might hold the car back. Not with me though. What a great way to usher in the new year. — Rob Sass, Editor in Chief and Director of Content, Porsche Panorama and PCA.org

The price is only going to go up. I predict this is the bottom of the market for a 996 GT3. Get one now before they go sky high.
I'd suggest BAT if you want to sell it. A wider audience will help given the mileage... it's obviously not moving on here. But if you have time to wait it out and drive it in the meantime you may have better luck in the summer.
I'd suggest you tone down the "never tracked" shtick. Yes autocross isn't the same as ***** to the wall road course lapping but it isn't the same as 100% civilian use, either. Plus it would be nice to state the mods right at the beginning of the ad. They're not bad mods, not nosebleed scrotch harnesses and stuff like that, but it always feels good to read about mods right away.
Beautiful car. The 996 GT3 is simply put one of the greatest cars Porsche ever made. It just came with the wrong headlights otherwise the car would already be over 100k. I had one and was likely one of the last people to actually drive a car to a PCA club race without a trailer and race it successfully. This was back when PCA racing letters went the other way. My car was a B car at first then a J class car. I would be interested if I had my 928S4 sold that is headed for BaT soon. If you are interested in a trade for my 928S4 (stick) plus cash let me know. Otherwise best of luck, you're going to miss it. I miss mine to this day.
This is from Excellence magazine sales report. Your price is is on target. You need to have patience if selling privately as there aren’t that many buyers out there. BAT is a good place to list it. Only about 250 05’s were produced and a total run for the 6 is a little over 1000
Good luck and beautiful car.
The average autocross lap is about 45 seconds. And it is not full throttle most of the time. So its not much more strenuous than driving on the street and flooring it a few times.
If you ever get a chance to drive one of these - they are special cars. Vortex does great work and has a huge history in taking care of these models. Good luck with your sale
996 GT3 - great drivers car
997.1 GT3 - great drivers car
997.2 GT3 - great drivers car
Some rennlisters can appreciate a great drivers car
Whichever one you choose, you won't regret. Drive them all and they are all great. I know its subjective but having owned the 991.1 GT3RS, the 996 is still the one I miss.
