That's lovely. Looks like it has Performance Friction front brake discs too which is a bonus that the ad doesn't seem to mention.

Its a lovely example, and makes the 75k mile modified SY car that Nick Johnson has up at £65K, look ridiculously overpriced, but back to the advert for this car. The colour of that 991 GT3 in the garage, and its number plate ... thumbup

This looks nice too, just £10k out of touch imo..

Thanks guys, the SY 996.2 is mine - it's a seriously nice car but I've got an itch to scratch as never owned a 997.2 GT3... prepared to wait for the right buyer who appreciates it for what it is.

I sold my Riviera 991.1 back in July as needed to make way for a 718 GT4 in Miami - a poor relation to Riviera but works well on the Cayman nonetheless.

The plate now resides on the Cayman :0)

Have the gen 3 slippy with the best engine,the grip out of the chassis is staggering for a road car.
Just given its winter polish.

Yep the opf cars with the slower throttle response, less mpg with a ECU that ****s about with timing for regeneration as the opf need to try and run 700oc to avoid blocking up !

.2 engines for the win I am afraid no Ecu dicking about and faster pick up, even more so in the manual cars with less parasitic losses to the wheels.

You've driven both extensively I take it, or having you been thumbing pages of mags with ill educated journos again?
