This would be a good solution to engine and gearbox of a GT3 RS ...
A real race chassis with an economic engine and gearbox !

Hi James, Please pm me.
Interested in the shell and a number of your BBS wheel sets & parts.
Would you be able to pack it all in a shipping container if we had one delivered to your shop?

I will try and get back to a few of your questions as best as possible......but keep in mind, I was given a verbal on the phone today from a local friend/client that says he wants it so in the meantime, until we hash out our deal, here are my answers....

1) If you send me a container, I can fill it as I have well over $200K in used parts, everything from stacks of BBS wheels to a spare 3 hour old 997 WC GT Spec sequential gearbox.

2) I am selling the car as is in the pictures above.

3) I have plenty of other parts I can put together to make a bigger/better package.


For quicker responses, my email is best at james@gmgracing.com

Thanks for all the PM's and emails.

James

James, how about some details on the 997 GT2 Cup?
what would it take to turn that damaged 2008 chassis into such a car?
that thing was wild in the video i saw of it.

Oh boy, the GT2 Cup is a ground up build with all new parts.
It was basically like buying a tub from PMNA and then ordering all new parts from them as well and building it up.

We built the Turbo motor and suspension but everything was new like the subframe, uprights, axles, hubs, wheel bearings, center locks, wiring.....everything!!

That was a $300K project but we spared no expense showcasing what we could build from the ground up vs buying a complete Cup car.

A version of this car could be built for a lot less as I have a ton of parts available to help with the build and this is a project I am currently discussing with someone who is very interested in the chassis.
It already has the widebody rear and the Cup S front end so it will be able to run bigger RSR sized tires....which is needed for a car with big power.

This car is legal for World Challenge and is great for PCA and POC or Nasa if you like.
It's just a different way to go fast.
Instead of an RSR.....you can try a Cup version of the GT2RS.....but 500lbs lighter and more power!

Well, it was sold almost 2 months ago and the buyer paid for it right away via wire transfer but has not followed up in a month so I may send the money back and sell it locally if interested......but of course I will reach out to him again.

The reason I sold it at such a low price was because I needed the space.....LOL!

Stay in touch with me and I should hear from him this week as I just emailed him asking for a pickup date.


Cheers,
