996 GT3 Mk1 3.8 at JZM
Discussion
I drove this today and it certainly is a great tool. What you would usually expect from a GT3 but the additional power and torque is very impressive.

If it was red I think I may have put a deposit on it.
Whats a current price for a full paint - 6kish?

This was for sale in aug 2010 then again earlier this year at the £35k mark. Someone could have snapped it up then but never did, now it's got the JZM stamp all of a sudden it's a bargain at £3k more. Weird how that works...http://www.jzmporsche.com/porsche-996-GT3-MK1-38L-...

Still amazing car though...
Looks quite a bit of car for the money but........
Gt2 trans? That's got horrible gearing for a gt3
Would also like to see what was done on engine for that money. 420hp isn't anywhere near ballpark for a 3.8. If they just bored out the engine to the bigger pistons and kept the short rods etc etc then that might explain power but not cost.
All IMHO of course but I've more questions than excitement looking at this ad...... But then again I'm not after buying it.
Bet it was a fun drive though
Stop talking about spa though....... Or atleast put a warning of Spa content in the titles I'm getting super envy. Tempting to ask if anyone's got an empty seat going over but we are meant to move house next week. Wonder if anyone would notice my absence.

neil get your "oversized ass" in my spare recaro xl spg!!.. lol
the "many years ago" may be the key here, unless the 420 is an actual RWHP figure in which case stuff comes back into line a little better.
i wasnt rubbishing the car. i dont know it or the owner, just merely saying that IMHO theres a bit of digging should be done by anyone interested.
still doesnt change the horrors of a GT2 box in a GT3. steel syncros, nice!!, looooooooong gearing on a revving engine, nope!!!!!!
if that box is stock then it shouldnt be anywhere near that car.
edited to add since the final drive post was up while i was typing.
that sort of makes things worse imho.... the shorter drive gives you nice 3-6 on the GT3 box but ropey 1st and 2nd. on this you will have ropey 1st and 2nd, nice 3 and 4 and then huge rev drops with 5 and 6. the torque might let you dig yourself out but its an odd choice on an NA car.
