Default 2008 WC GT 997 Cup for Sale (3.8 motor - Fully Upgraded!)

If any of you are interested in this car but don't want all the upgrades, I can take several items off the car to reduce the price......

I am open to ideas.........keep in mind, I just spent all the money to upgrade this car and engine and it's ready to go. It may be priced higher than most, but all of the hard work is done. There will only be (35) 2011 997 Cup cars coming in for 2011, so this would be a great option if you can't get one.

This car is much faster than a 2010 Cup WC car but it has to run more weight.....take all the weight out and it's a rocket!

Description
2008 997 GT3 Cup – World Challenge Spec as race by
GMG (James F. Sofronas) VIN# WPO ZZZ 99 Z8S 798
117
-Most Successful Porsche in WC over the past 20
races (3 wins, 2 poles, 8 top 5’s and clinched
Manufacturer’s Championship for Porsche last 2
years)
-New 3 ring 3.8 spec motor as built this April for
WC competition by PMNA.
-This motor has also been approved for ALMS GTC
and Rolex GA competition
-3 Ring Motor will last up to 50 hours
-Freshened April 2010 before Long Beach GP
(Currently has 3.8 hours on motor)
-RSR Headers and Exhaust System
-RSR Shortened WC Spec Gears (9 hours on Gearbox)
-4 way Ohlin Race Shocks
-Stoptech STR Race Calipers
-WC Spec Motorsport ABS (save your tires!)
-Cup S Front Bodywork
-Cup S Rear Quarter panels
LED Rear Taillights
-BBS Monobloc and Motorsport wheels (18x10.25 &
18x12)
-Line Lock and Launch Control for Standing Starts
in WC

This is the nicest Porsche in World Challenge and
is turnkey.
We can support this car in WC and I have all the
data for the tracks we compete on.
I can coach the new owner as well as store and
transport the car…..several options available.

Or, put some slicks on this car and it would make
a fantastic Club car.

Price: $189K, would consider trades plus cash.

Default Updated Price

Price Reduction: $179K
Can also include a day of driving coaching and data support in that price.
We can also support you with this car for World Challenge, ALMS GTC and/or Club Racing. In fact, if you buy this car, I would give you 2 free entry fees for the VIR WC rounds in Sept., worth $5k. Would run GTA against other WC and Grand Am cars and would be front runner. And when you want to go Pro, it's ready to go.
With the Bosch Motorsport ABS combined with the Stoptech brakes, you have the ability to outbrake anyone!
With rear RS quarter panels, you can run larger slicks than a stock car, which will allow you to put the power down.
4 way Motons, which are easy to adjust, will allow you to tune the car to your liking no matter the track or conditions.
With the 3.8 3 ring motor, it will run for 50 hours and have the torque to match the 30 hour motors.
Car also includes full Motec upgrades for coaching purposes.
Everything on the car is fresh, from motor to gearbox, to rebuilt Motons (switched out from Ohlins) and new clutch, the price is higher than most Cup cars but this is not just a Cup car.
Selling since I acquired new 2010 but as we found out at WG this year, this car is faster than my 2010 Cup......but PMNA wants me to run the new car, hence my decision to sell 2008.

Would be willing to trade for 997 Turbo Cab plus cash or similar type of car.

If anyone is considering this Cup car and would like to also have some support with it and personal coaching as well, I can be very flexible with free support, transport and maintenance.

Email me directly if interested in details.

I am open to all possibilities.

Price is now $169K and can support the car for the GTGP event at Laguna in Oct.
You will get a ton of track time and I will have both the ALMS and WC teams there!
I can review the car with you and your mechanic, go over data and provide data overlays as well.....all so you are ready to go with this perfect example of a Cup car.
Highlights again are:
This car is perfect, big 3 ring 3.8 motor with 4 hours on it but lasts 50 hours!
Won 3 WC races and was easily the fastest Porsche all year. This car is faster than my 2010 car!
4 way Motons
GMG WC Suspension
Fresh gearbox with RSR short gearing
Cup S bodywork with RS rear quarter panels
BBS 10.25 and 12 x 18 wheels
Motorsport ABS

Car has run 2:15's at Rd America on Toyos! Would do 2:10's on slicks!

I am open to certain trades for other race cars and/or street cars plus cash.
