I'm a PCA National Instructor, avid 911 fan, and went entirely through this car from top to bottom to ensure years of enjoyment on the street and at our local tracks.

This car represents a no-expense spared, built to be a "don't need to think about anything" reliable street and track performer. I daily drive this to downtown and to the track with every chance I get.

You might recognize this car from my build in Pictures and Stories: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...t-porsche.html

I would like to sell everything as a package as I've picked up a GT3. Someone is going to get a very well taken care of and prepared car.

2003 Porsche Carrera 4S (converted to RWD with LSD)
120k Miles
6- Speed
Lapis Blue Metallic

I have well over $40k in receipts. Every component of this car has been addressed.
If it could make the car more reliable, function better on the track, or make it safer - its been done. Engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, safety, and more. This car is ready to go and the time/work/effort shows.

The list of items or work is below and I have spares of many things. No expense was spared to make this car extremely reliable yet quick. I have no problem keeping up with much faster, and usually more expensive cars. You can drive the doors off this thing all day at the track, soften the suspension, and head home.

History - 1 accident (me)
The car does have one low speed accident (under 25mph) from two years ago. It was on the track and I was driving and found a tire wall. The front bumper, headlight, hood, right fender were replaced and paint matched. No frame, mechanical, or suspension damage - it was all cosmetic.
The car looks flawless and has seen 15+ track days since.

This car deserves to go to a happy home where it'll continue to see use where it belongs, on a race track or autocross.

If you'd like to see what this thing can do, here are my track videos. There are many including 997 GT3s, 991 GT3s, 991 GT3RSs, etc.

This car is setup properly and can keep up with just about anything despite the horsepower difference. Its a momentum car that can be driven at the limit.


For PNW track locals:

The Ridge -

• I average 1:56s now with occasional 1:54s on NT01s.
• By comparison, 991 GT3s are running 1:50s-1:52s.

Pacific Raceway -

• I average 1:34s now with occasional 1:32s on NT01s.
• By comparison, 991 GT3s are running 1:29s-1:32s.

Here's a quick look at the parts and service list. I know this isn't all of it but its close - the prices are actual of what I paid for each part and service.

Most of the major work was done by Chris's German Auto with receipts:
