Haha. I am debating between 3 cars right now. One is around 190k, one around 400k, and the third around 500k. The 2nd 2 would both have carbon bodies. The first car is a 991 GT3 RS, the 2nd is a 991 turbo s, changed to pdk s, upgraded suspension, would put out around 650 hp, magnesium wheels, racing breaks, 991 RSR carbon bodywork. There is a place in florida that does this. The third option would be a 458. Same process as the porsche pretty much. 458 GT2 bodywork and upgraded suspension and more power. Would be a faster version of 458 scud pretty much.

I wish. I am most likely to get the RS, just because going stock usually works out the best in the long run. Problem with turning tt s into 991 RSR is that it does not have a the pdk s gearbox the RS has. The ferrari seems to be what I would want the most, but it also seems like it would be the hardest. If I need one small part for the car, regardless of what it is, ferrari will give me a hard time.

Michael would you mind sending me the info on the red CGT. I have a friend that is looking for a low mileage CGT.

Good luck on your decision

890 mile one I was looking at sold. Here is another one. http://formula-1-sport-cars.ebizauto...d-9633311.html

Not sure what they are asking. CNC motors also has 6k mile one.

What would that be? A race car for the street? If yes, it seemed to have worked pretty well

You will regret NOT buying the CGT as the others, great cars that they are, will never compare

CGT is THE modern collector car to own.

Get silver. Matches the wheels and looks clean. Red is confuses general public into thinking"ferrari".
Black looks great but is too bat mobile on the CGT.
Yellow is nice but too loud.

I like the second one. I have been looking at that one since they posted it for sale. If I had the cash - it wouldn't be available. I would have purchased that Turbo S about 3 months ago.

Good luck. But if you get the Turbo S - you HAVE to let us know. And of course all of the details on how it drives.

Fixed it for ya, the FGT has a higher value/original MSRP factor.

I own a 991 and have a turbo on order but neither is really an exotic. A 458 really does not need anything and is a great car. I have owned one for about a year. A treat everytime you drive it. A nice one with less than 2K miles can be had for 250, 260. Perhaps it is not as exotic as a CGT but you won't have to explain that its not a Ferrari.
