Interesting discussion..... No doubt that the cost per hour of operation of the GT3 "street" car is similar to the Cup. This particular car was pristine and very low mileage, (though I suspect many more track miles than the owner may think). He bought the car extremely well and sold off a lot of parts that came with it. While the car won't be cheap, it should be really fun and still less expensive than a pristine Cup with similar hours of use.

Craig,
Why do you feel upkeep is less on a 6GT3 street vs. 6GT3 Cup? Obviously, most cups run slicks and more "street" cars run R-compounds, but that's not an upkeep issue.
Same rotors
Same pads
Same motor (plus vario)
same trans (but brass synchros and weaker diff)
more weight
Given similar use and tires, I would estimate that upkeep between the cars is virtually identical.

92db is correct.
you either run stock 996gt3 exhaust or make a big saxophone like muffler.

996 CUP CARS did NOT come with the cage extending thru the firewall.
GMG Racing built this car to the 997 GT3 Cup Car cage specs.
