ok thanks just message me

'Surfbum' on rennliist had a cup seemed good. I talked to him. Sounded like genuine guy. Car maintained by GMG.

Gary,
Most cups that have been raced have seen some type crash. Everything depends on the paper trail, I.e. Owner(s) and the shop that did repairs. If you have already verified the credentials, I would buy it. Re-tubbing a car is no big deal as long they put things back to original. Porsche motorsports actually issues new VIN number when they sell a new tub. The shop has to cutout the old vin plate from the damaged tub before they sell you one.
Cup cars are very cookie-cutter like. There is maintenance routine and you follow it. Most important thing it so have a trustworthy and reliable shop yourself. Because overtime, barring wrecks, you will replace practically everything in the car except the tub itself. Even the race seats expire!. Race cars only have bare essentials and they timeout. So be prepared $wise!

Thanks for the guidance the other day in the post on 996 Cup cars. Yes I am completely addicted. I found an 03 that is GTC3 legal but was retubbed at some point with an 05 tub. I assume that means it was crashed. The shop that recently refreshed it has a great Rep so i am sure it will be fine but was wondering if a ca like this is something that you stayed clear of when you were buying yours? Best regards, Gary

I could put a 3.6 in it for you.

Sorry to hear that. Enjoyed reading your post. This can be a all consuming addiction!

Hello Anton,

Yes, going to take a breather from racing for a while.

Cheers,
