Russ Posted 17July, 2014 Report Share Posted 17July, 2014 It's been used on the track but " not abused on the track". Really? Surely that's subjective. Some drivers have mechanical sympathy, MOST would not IMO. Even if we think we do, we're not really aware of the true strains on components until tested and failures arise. Only 2c from the ad: placed first outright in its class at the Porsche Club NSW 2013 Concourse display I'd think if it's been thrashed to within an inch of it's life, it'd have all sorts of wear on the underside from running over chicanes etc. (and I'm pretty sure PCNSW judges are quite through with their judging) I'd have no hesitation in buying it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Posted 17July, 2014 Report Share Posted 17July, 2014 Who would of thought a car built to drive on a track would of been driven on a track! It's a good car. You should buy it Doug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Posted 17July, 2014 Report Share Posted 17July, 2014 Speaking of that. Has anyone got Martins number with the 911/30? I was going to call him last night and ask a couple more questions but he has not got his number listed in the Advert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstone Posted 17July, 2014 Report Share Posted 17July, 2014 Although I quoted from 'this' sellers advert I am not questioning 'this' sellers credibility or this vehicles history, only that the comment is subjective based on level of mechanical sympathy which differs person to person. I apologize for how my comment may have been seen in this regard. Quite an oversight to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgy Posted 18July, 2014 Report Share Posted 18July, 2014 Thoughts on 996 GT2 versus GT3 as a weekend/track car? Pretty rare to find - will they hold/grow in value? GT3 seems to be continuing downward slowly. I kind of like the scary reputation of the GT2, that's what a weekend car should be, something to be mastered.http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-911-2002/SSE-AD-2783369 Doug, gt3 is not a car you can use on its limit on the street and either would the widow maker, you would have to sit back, think about how big of a pair you have (or have to grow) and make that 'suitability' call yourself I have seen this car in the flesh... its neat, real neat, it wouldn't have placed with the PCNSW concourse judges if it didn't... and the club concourse has some tough competition! Also, it is hard to say when the right time to buy 6 gt2 is... although I can't for the life of me imagine the values going much further south.... you would have to think the future value of the GT2 is sound, it's of a good pedigree and they don't make em like that anymore!

I was joking don't take it to hart. 99% of GT3's and GT2's will of been to the track at some point. They love it and you're not really going to hurt one unless you bounce it off somthing or don't service it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren't they all 5 digits only? Mine is 5 digits and also mph. Apparently 91 f series in Australia in 73http://www.911e.org/microsite.php?9113210699 I have seen other corroborating data.

Coastr Posted 18July, 2014 Report Share Posted 18July, 2014 Say what you like, I do love the color combo. I wonder if they took the plates off to advertise as garage find? I would have rented a barn somewhere and spread some chook poo and dust and them called it a barn find. Some photos with an old tractor, then all cleaned up. Extra 10k, easy. Plus I would have used the word 'patina' somewhere. Peter M, Uncle, BAFE and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
