I know rev ranges 1 & 2 are not significant but out of curiosity how high in the rev range did you rev it at to achieve these readings.

GLW the sale.

Perception and reality are 2 different things. Crazy what people will do/pay for perception only
We do live in California.... Rain causes people to drive like **** and they get all wacky.

And the buyers are just negotiating... Problem is most Porsche buyers are just a notch down the ladder from Ferrari buyers on the obsessive scale.

This is a good car. Anyone who intends to track a gt4 should buy without hesitation.

Hahahaha, if you're not buying this car, but rather pay $20K more for another one because of the above reasons you're a poser.

Here's a car that comes with a giant tire and brake pad budget built in.

Rain, lol it's monsoon season here, I should post some weather radar screen shots from today, my car feels more like a submarine half the time. I can vouche that Porsche, even GT ones are water tight LOL.

Yeah I knew my car would lose 50% of its value from the mooty day precipitation. It's just science. I know I should have gotten that underbody coating.

Based on a recent FS post, my car is a bargain if you're looking for a track setup turnkey car.

If it was white and I didn't already have one, it would soon be mine.
Even for street use only, just the LSD and LWFW are very desirable modifications that a buyer gets for free.
We all know that range 1 and 2 are a normal result of reaching red line.
Your GT4 is a great bargain Chris, GLWS.

I do indeed. Seems like a really nice guy and true enthusiast; someone who would truly appreciate this car.

***SALE PENDING***

Deposit received.

It was funny to see the reaction of the buyer when I pointed out the "flaws". "That's NOTHING!".

After chatting a bit and a quick drive, the buyer knew what he was getting. Will close thread(s) upon receipt of funds.
