How was the first customer car allowed to be a comfy seat non CS spec????
Why not !!! it is what the customer wanted. Not everyone is up for CS
It’s like opening night at a new steak house and the first ticket that comes through says “well done”

I get it’s everyone’s choice, it’s just a bit anticlimactic in my eyes.

I mean obviously people are prepared to pay the going market rate, that's the definition of the going market rate.

Gen 2 price nuttiness continues unabated. Just shy of 150k for a low miler:

Gen 2 must be in demand. This came through on my OPC yesterday.

It's worth 115k tops - they've destroyed it with intergalactic mileage.

Haha 14 k miles just run in ........ as the Porsche GT ownership has changed from users too "investors" sadly this is a side effect , owners who do not like / cannot afford to use the car . They are cars with 600 sold in the UK . Not an investment , say a matching numbers 993 RSR .

Saw this at the track on Friday - sounded great. There was also a 992 Turbo S, a 996 GT3, a 991 Cup and a 991 GT3 R (I think anyway, I was more focused on getting out of the way) on track. Guess some people still use their cars (although some of them might also have been driving in Boss GP, so I suspect a little depreciation on a Porsche is less of a concern).

You need to invest in a Motorhome Peter. Just make sure its bigger than Yellow's just to make him jealous.
Talking about well driven special Porsches look what i spotted in the classifieds.

Not the jealous sort taff unless hunter has some babes dripping from his carsmile
I have just researched a gt3rs in japan for a friend,front Tub chassis number different to the Rear tub production number!!walked away,no ran away.As hunter says all that is about the model history not the actual car.
Sounds like your high mileage,well spanked gt3rs hunter is on the scrap heap with all the boring new era gt owners Who only want to talk about price,value,overs etc

There were four RS WP cars on track at Anglesey a week ago (including mine). At least three of them were still still with their original owners, i never met the fourth owner. Mike's GT Silver car was on 12k miles so well used and mine still on 3k which is by my own admission pathetic. Hope to get on quite a few track days this year if i can find some which aren't fully booked.
Looking forward to see some 992GT3s on track in 2021.

Very genuine car with a great history. Recommisioned and will be testing in June. I already habe a 996 RSR so makes a nice pair smile

Last Manual 911 race car, a very special thing
