Default 2009 997.1 Cup Low Hours

Car was located in Toronto
SOLD, thanks
57 hours total on car since new

This is effectively a one-owner car, if you exclude my 4 days of DE in 2020. Yes, 4 days, it’s sad.

Got the car at the end of 2019, and had big plans for 2020, but we all know what happened in 2020. Because of the closed border, our local PCA race was cancelled, so DE’s it was. I have started to build a house for retirement, so something’s gotta give.

This is a proper factory race car, with all the factory safety gear, for less than half the price of a new GT3 or GT4.

Car was babied and well cared for by the original owner, as anyone who knows him will tell you.

Car did a single race in its life, at Limerock in early 2010, where it had an off. Otherwise, DE only. Car was one of 4 ordered by 4 friends in Quebec for lapping at the end of 2009.

Due to the off mentioned above, some panels were replaced. Someone messed up and ordered a few for a wide-body car, which you might not see it at first, as I suspect happened originally, but once you notice it, you know.

The only other blemish is a bull’s eye on the windshield from a rock. It’s not in the line of sight and is covered by a piece of transparent tape. The windshield is not pitted at all, so it’s not worth replacing.

Specs:

- 2009, 997.1 GT3 factory race car
- 57 total hours since new; sealed motor and transmission
- 7700 total km
- Stock PCA GTC4
- 3 sets of factory BBS wheels
- 1 brand new set of Pirelli slicks, 1 set of rains
- 2 identical OMP halo seats
- Tenaquip cup car cover
- Extra new spare Pagid brake pads (also new pads on car)
- Auto-blipper
- Driver’s seat back brace per PCA Club Racing requirement
- New driver’s Schroth HANS harness valid to 2024
- F.A.S.T. cooling system with helmet blower
- Fixed Motec transponder
- AMB (MyLaps)Transponder – No Subscription Required
- Transportation wheel hooks
- Removable door windows
- Helmet/steering wheel hook
- Wide-angle mirror
- Wing gurney







Sealed engine

Expiration 2024

^^ Yes, thanks, and as with all Porsches, it punches above its weight.

Not a sales pitch but: I expected it to be fast, and it is, but with "only" 420 hp, it's pretty amazing what it can do, even when compared to the new breed of 500+ hp cars.

Tough call for me to quit cold turkey.

Lovely looking car overall, always fun to see a clean example of these floating around.

I also like what looks like an engine protector mounted on the bottom of the engine blade.

Thanks. What looks like an engine protector is a jack pad; sometimes you just want to lift the rear and don't feel like taking out the hose for the air jacks.

It is beefy enough to protect the engine case however, should anything go south.
