Looks like a good GTB1 donor car. The better gearing on the R PDK seems to be the latest "must have".

No flame, but the PDK in the R had some issues with overheating, going into limp mode when tracked in 100+ degree heat, at high altitude or a combination of both with the SC set in sport plus. This was mostly due to the diff and PDK being in the same housing and the heat of the diff fluid affecting the PDK fluid temps. Even adding a separate diff cooler mitigated it only somewhat. One way to help avoid this was not using sport plus when on track or manual short shifting.

Another PDK advantage.... Many of the top PDK GTB1 cars are "R"s and there is one "Black"........

Fellas - I just spoke to the owner; since spring is now here in the northeast (finally!) and driving season is just around the corner, she asked me to lower the sale price. Asking price is now $59,500.
