They have it up for £74,000 - what did you sell it for?
Even with OPC tax, that is a very encouraging trade price smile

Probably not fair to disclose what they paid for it but I was happy with the number it was more than I bought it for from them last year.

I am just gutted to lose it, the financials just helped to take the edge off of it.

It is a cracking car which wants for nothing I'd have it back in a heartbeat if money wasn't an issue. It was going to be a keeper but a property we have wanted for a long time has come onto the market and I have to scale back to be in a position to make an offer.

So the differences...
4) PSM and PTM (Gen1 only has PTM)
PSM is Porsche stability management and the Porsche name for ESP? But what is PTM?
Is there also an option on the PSM to make the ESP a little more lose (like on the BMW M3 M-dynamic mode)…?
Porsche Traction Management

In Sport mode the PSM will be a bit less active. Always turn it off on track as it's hard on the rear brakes.

Is sport mode something that is standard on a 997 GT3 MK2, or is it part of the sport-chrono package?

It's standard. There are no performance options on any GT3 as far as I'm aware.
