Mine's just fine on the road, and pretty f--ing good on the track!

Although if any car was to become highly prized (in addition to the 996 GT3 MkI CS --- merciless plug !) ... I would have guessed that it would have been the RS ...

A sign of the times ?
Or more likely that its just a 'leggy' car at 70,000 miles.

There's travel and then there is travel. Roughly where is it located?

I'll just leave this here biggrin
I've seen this twice recently and sat in it. Last time was Friday, it is a spotless peach..or should that be a banana?
If I was looking this would be the 1st on the list. Have recently bought a 7 GT3 from RPM and it was an outstanding experience. I had a PPI and they literally put all advisories right.

That car is so good I starting dreaming if it was possible to justify owning both a Gen 1 and a Gen 2 996 GT3 at the same time. Which is clearly an utterly ridiculous thing to even contemplate, but such is the quality of that banana!

Few years old now but reminds me to re-read the Henry Catchpole comparison of each of the GT3 models (including both 996 Gen 1 and Gen 2).

Can't speak highly enough of the RPM Technik team, be it sales, servicing, upgrades and also having experienced their 996 CSR build process.

I went to look at the Speed Yellow car when it was for sale at 911V over the summer. It is a really fantastic car that I was very tempted by.

In the end I bought another of Slippydiff’s ex-steeds, the black 996.1 K400 cool
