Hey guys I found the car. But I’m doing my due diligence. Please see the photos. I’m curious if anyone knows anything about this car. It’s been at a dealer since November. I feel I’m getting a pretty good deal. But I want to make sure there’s no horror stories like the notorious mint green. It has a clean carfax no damage 3 owners. I know yall are passionate and might have info if it exists.
I did some more digging after the FB post. The car, vin - WP0AC2A94JS176480, does have a significant lvl6 spike on the rev report. The service dealer said this car was definitely a dedicated track toy. There is a pretty good scuff on the underside from where it looks like the car went off track. However there is some encouraging news on the engine, the engine has about 700 hours of operating time since the lvl6 over rev with no issues. Might be a good pickup for the right price.

It would be great to see a car like this to be followed in its lifetime as it would be a great data point for these engines and over revs. I'd be interested in the pics of the underside and actual DME showing 700 hours before believing the seller, especially if it's the dealer that didn't check the DME before buying. this car.
Quick google math says that a car with 700 hours, going an average of 35MPH would travel 24,500 miles.......
My math isn't mathing on that 700 hours as this car has 19k total miles on it, even a dedicated track toy, say 90MPH avg, It would take "only" 211 hours.

It was the Porsche dealer that gave me all the info. Not the dealer selling the car. They said it approximately 700 operating hours post incident that includes idel time and everything. But I agree let’s keep track of it. That’s why I threw the VIN in the post.

My math statement was made jest, I don't know how these engine minutes/hours are really tracked and captured in the DME and printouts, but tried to make some sense of it, then learn from others that can confirm or educate me.
Good luck on your search, I think it's crazy how the prices of the 991.2 manual GT3s have continued to increase in the past 2 years.
