997 GT3 RS at MR911

[under3secs]

Thinking of taking a serious look at this GT3 RS http://www.used-porsche.co.uk/car_911-(997)-GT3-RS...
Anybody know this car or any information about it (been abused or tracked) Says never been REDLINED
on website (hard to believe with one of these). Any help available here.

[Erik997]

Doesn't that car belong to 911Thrasher on here? If so, based on his posts its definitely been tracked but otherwise no idea about condition, etc

[all2ofme]

That's Pierre's car (911Thrasher), I think. He looks after his wheels as far as I can tell.

I'd be happy to have his seconds

Yeah he does track it, ive seen his car at Bedford & Spa.. but in his own words quite sedatly!

[drpep]

As said before, these cars happily lap up trackdays provided they're well looked after. And Pierre's maintenance regime is pretty good.

[911Thrasher]

Yeah that's mine! and it's been track gently indeed: Spa in 3min15sec no where what these GT3 are capable of, Bedford in 3min and I guess whoever saw me there can tell I wasn't the quickest one.

NEVER REDLINED - yes it is true (no point of reaching 8,000rpm really, 7,500 is plenty enough with my driving skills and Bedford noise limits), and OPC happilly extended my warranty for another 2years.

Any questions I'm happy to answer.

note: if you are not scared of the price, please have a go. Otherwise look for the other cars around, there are some cheaper ones but mine is special: it's white (1 of 5 RHD i believe) and fully loaded

Thanks for this info. Will i be purchasing from you or Mr911.
From what info i have the OPC warranty is not transferable from a dealer so
i would be losing out on this.

You would be dealing directly with him - he takes care of all my cars 100% (sell, buy, negotiations, maintenance, etc.); i only drive the cars, anything else he works it for me.
Both the car and the OPC warranty are under my name, so no worries, it will be transfered to you.

note: i suggest you call him to make an appointment.

Don't worry about this: Clive is selling the car on my behalf because i am busy travelling alot for work and cannot do it myself. He is like my agent, so the car and everything related to it are in my name.
It's a private sell.

Unavailable because it's my surfing car, and have trips planned the coming wkends - sorry about that (RS will come with the roof rack)

I was @ Bedford on 5 Nov in my Carrera S.

Think I saw this car there, can confirm it was being driven very sedately. Looked lovely, I actually went straight to pistonheads classifieds when I got home to check out the prices for a 997 GT3 RS. Partly because I enjoyed myself so much in my S and thought how much more fun I could have in an RS, but also because of how right it looked on the move!

[rimkah]

wow a car agent, would love to hear about your collection 911Thrasher. One day would love to have so many cars that I need someone to look after them

Not a car agent per say...just dont know how to describe Clive: a friend who takes care of my toys if you want.

I only have 2 cars at the time: a "classic" as london cruiser and the toy for everything else, i.e. little bit of track, long distance and wkend car. For now a 1988 SL300 and the 7.1RS.

If the RS sells it will be replaced by a CStradale or 964/993RS

Yeah i remember you, you were quicker than me and i had to let you pass and then had a hard time keeping up with you! Great driving!

Thanks for the compliment! I have done quite a few days at bedford
in many different cars, including a few instructor sessions, so I put it
down to "local knowledge".

To bring the thread back on topic, this car looks fantastic in the metal. I am sorely
tempted myself!

Was reading this as I was flicking through this month's GT Porsche magazine when I happened to stumble across page 84....the similarity was uncanny
