straight thievery at that price - still say, 997 GT3s best value proposition

What is the expected rebuild schedule on this engine, and how many hours does it have on it? Thanks! Love the car.

This engine is different. It is pretty much still a street 3.6 motor, but bored out to 3.8, with some "special sauce" Porsche Motorsport parts added that kick it up a bit (997 Cup heads, for example).
I don't count hours, but its had about 13,000 miles added to it since the motor replacement in 2013. Maybe 1200-1500 of those are track miles, the rest are highway cruising, canyon runs, commuter miles, etc., where its just as happy. It is also fully smog compliant with stock intake, O2s, catalytic converter/headers, etc. I used to live in CA and it passed smog there about a year ago.
Hope this information helps...it really is a very cool, very unique GT3.

I get this question a lot, and the answer is that servicing is really no different from the normal 3.6 GT3 engine. Cup engines are rebuilt frequently because they are sprint motors, built to live at 8400+RPM and have much tighter tolerances, thus the parts "time out" and/or stretch (rods), and need refreshing to prevent a catastrophic failure from fatigue. I am no expert, but this is what I've been told about Cup engines from 3 separate builders.

It does help, I think. Thanks for the reply. It’s a bit confusing since you called it a “Porsche Motorsports GT3 Cup” engine when it’s not the engine that goes into a GT3 Cup car. Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but if that’s the case then that’s a good thing as it eliminates some of the rebuild fears.

Love this car and the sound it makes. Spent considerable time and money on my 997.1S but it will never be this car. Timing is everything and this will make a perfect car for someone to enjoy.
What sort of times do you turn on both tracks at NJMP? I'm in NE PA and NJ is basically my home track.
Cheers!

Thanks for the reply again. I am really interested in this car and trying to figure out a time I could up to your neck of woods. I'm in the DC area.
