After nearly 10 years with her, I've decided to sell "Ol' Reliable", my 996 X51 race car. I bought her from from a fellow Rennlister back in 2009 and she's proven to be fast and perhaps the most reliable race car on the planet. But with a GT4 Clubsport in the garage now, I want to focus my attention (and budget) on that. Someone will be very, very lucky to take her home: https://rennlist.com/forums/vehicle-...l#post15470336
Helluva car
Rob and I co drive it in a totally rainy 6 hour day/night enduro at Sebring.
Here is a good shot of VR behind the wheel at the PBOC race in 2014. We did 6 hours on 1 set of Hoosier rain tires, it was wet the entire race. I think our fast lap (set by VR) was about 2:42.
.
We also worked together at TWS in this car. So many good times in this car and in nearly 10 years I can only recall 1 DNS (clutch/flywheel) and I don't think it ever had a DNF. It will be a little emotional for me when she leaves the garage. I honestly thought I would never sell her. But the GT$CS has the dual master/no boost option and if I am ever going to become truly proficient in that car I need to focus on it as opposed to jumping back and forth. I have to develop all new muscle memory to master the braking in the new car and I don't want to confuse the issue by driving a second car.
All I can say is you must really hate this car if you're willing to sell it for $38K. What did it do, run off with your wife?
It is certainly priced aggressively! But its actually my love for the car that has it priced there. Its a Rennlist price, I would not price it that low anywhere else. I bought it from a fellow Rennlister who has become a good friend as a result and I would really like to see this car go to a true enthusiast. Even better if the car stayed local. Getting top dollar is less important. In a few years I'll have forgotten about the money but if I can continue to track the car's exploits, that would be awesome!

Something I thought I would never do
