Default 2008 GT3 Cup with 0 Hours

My Cup S project is finally a week away from being completed so its time to sell my 08.

The car is currently at GMG where they have pulled the motor and delivered it next door to PMNA for a rebuild. So the car will come with a 0 hour PMNA sealed motor.

The car itself has approx. 85 hours on it (I will have an exact figure once PMNA reads the ECU)

The gearbox has approx. 6 hours from a Brian Copans rebuild
Manthay Auto blipper
Premier Fuel Cell
Moton two way adjustable shocks
MoTec ADL2 dash with full Pro logging 50 IO upgrade
Motec front brake pressure sensor
MoTec rear brake pressure sensor
Upgraded master cylinders
Video system
Recaro Pro Racer Spa Hans seat (Carbon Fiber)
Approx 2 hours on 4 new wheel bearings
Approx 40 hours on blue axles
New shifter cable
New front rotors
New windshield with tear off sheets
Disk, docs and manuals

The car had a clear bra installed prior to being covered by a full wrap so the paint is excellent. I will post more pics once the wrap is removed.

Spares will include:
Three sets of wheels total
One set of rain tires
Full set of stock sachs shocks
Rear bumper cover
Used, but good rotors
New front and rear brake pads
Used shifter cable
Car cover

The car is legal to run as-is in IMSA Challenge Gold, Pirelli Drivers Cup group B, PCA GTC4, POC GTC4, NASA GTS5 or ST1, or run SCCA with a restrictor plate.

The car ran a couple of IMSA Patron races before I bought it from a friend of mine, and I have club raced the car since then. I have professionally maintained this car to the highest standards with no expense spared. Car has had a nut and bolt check and fluid changes after every event.

The car will be in Southern California @ GMG for a couple of weeks before it gets shipped back to Phoenix.

$130,000.00

I would be happy to provide the buyer with the names and contact information of the people who have purchased my last three race cars, they can attest to the fact that the cars they purchased were delivered exactly as described.

GLWS!!

I can also attest to the meticulous professional maintenance of this car! This car is in gorgeous shape and is ready to run - FAST!

I know for a fact, because I have raced against this car and also share crew with it. It is a very fast and well prepared car. You will not be disappointed. Seller is not joking about every nut and bolt is checked and the fluids are changed after each event. It's how he rolls!

Can't wait to see Porschezilla on the track!

Thanks Boo-Boo, I was hoping to run with you again at Willow, I finally was able to get my skirt out of the way, and shattered our times from our December event.
But I thought this would be the best time to be able to deliver as close to as new car to the new owner.
I hope you don't mind if someone contacts you about the 996 cup you bought from me, you can attest to the condition of my cars.

Now for the good news, yes I am hoping to be able to take Porschezilla out for a shakedown on Friday, the anticipation is killing me. I never knew building a car from a tub was much work or so $$$$$, but i guess if we hadn't of modified everything it would have came back together quicker and less costly, but what fun is that?

Hi Dave, I'm heading to Willow myself on Friday. Trying to make up for lost time and learn a few things from a hired rabbit. John

John, good luck out there. Best thing I ever did is hired GMG and James for a couple of days. Crew was incredible, coaching was great.
Wise money spent on coaching.
I thought I was going to be done with the Cup S until I heard of your 4.0 upgrade, now I am starting a list for the December shutdown.
It NEVER ends!!!!

This car is very fast as well and easy to drive.
In only a few laps, managed a 1:21.9 at willow which is pretty fast for this type of a cup.
Dave's cars are always well taken care of and this one is no exception.

Thanks for the compliments Dave, it was great to have you join the GMG team.

Can't wait to see the beast!

James, I now know how it must feel to be an addict, I got home from our event and I am now pacing around trying to figure out how to get another hit off of that crack pipe!!!!

Hell, I even played the lottery yesterday!

All kidding aside you and your crew are truly a first rate group of guys with an incredible amount of knowledge and experience.

Tod, your crew chief finally got me to quit telling myself "its just the driver", his magic tweaks and your coaching got me down an unbelievable FIVE SECONDS off my personal best time and I didn't feel like I was driving beyond my limits. Granted it was only my second time at that track, but a 1:25.7 is a very quick time for us mere mortals.

Thanks again and I hope I don't have to sell a kidney to get back out there with you again.

Dave,

Thanks for the compliments.

It was great fun working with you and looking forward to doing it again.

I agree, Todd is one of the best in the business and he is great at extracting as much info as possible from any of the drivers he works with.

That is our job, to make you a better driver.

Now when Porschezilla comes out, that's our specialty!

I saw this car at willow two weeks ago and it is a nice set up. Bump for a nice guy too.

I held him up in 3 and he didn't even yell at me, how cool is that...

Once i master my RS, then I will go into a cup car.

So does this mean that you guys are not going to be running Pirelli this year?
