spiller Posted 5February, 2020 Report Share Posted 5February, 2020 So the black one is missing the books? Seems unusual for a GT3. Always wondered how people misplace something of such importance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

symsy Posted 5February, 2020 Report Share Posted 5February, 2020 Couple of question Aren’t Tourers rarer than CS? Did all CS have AC . With Regards cars with no history you would you knock 20 percent I would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Regards cars with no history you would you knock 20 percent I would Good point Symsy. No doubt there are many differences, which those that know more than me will tell you, but the main ones appear to be Single Mass v Dual Mass Flywheel, factory (Matter) rollcage and nomex Recaros. However, looks like Tourers could be optioned, so the silver car has nomex Recaros. My LHD CS had AC, although this had been removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Regards cars with no history you would you knock 20 percent I would Rarity doesn't equal desirability. In relation to history, its only part of the equation when valuing a car and I can't see books being worth a 20% premium. Maybe high end collector grade stuff but not on a 120k odd GT3.

edgy Posted 5February, 2020 Report Share Posted 5February, 2020 For the record, there is no such model variant of “touring” in 996/997, just GT3 and GT3 with 003 (Clubsport) option... GTP911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTP911 Posted 5February, 2020 Report Share Posted 5February, 2020 Edgy I was with you, then referred to my (Australian) 1999/2000 Porsche 911 GT3 Product Information (bible) Porsche refer to: Clubsport & Comfort pack GT3s. Note: Clubsport & Comfort pack GT3s ~ same original RRP, same engine, same power transmission, same brakes, same chassis and suspension, same exhaust, same wheels, same tyres etc all good❤️ Harold996tt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted 5February, 2020 Report Share Posted 5February, 2020 ^ that probably explains why CS significantly outsold Comfort/Touring. The 003 CS pack was standard which makes sense given the car is a track focussed drivers car. I don’t really understand why you’d tick a no cost option to remove the standard Clubsport bits. Only about 15% of buyers made that “mistake”. I absolutely agree with @hugh just because it’s less common doesn’t make it better, more desirable or more valuable. Surely there are still a lot more buyers today who want CS over Comfort. having said that, I’d take a Comfort with retro fitted CS bits at the right price. In fact, I’ve done it - my 996 GT2 Touring had a genuine half cage and Nomex Recaros fitted but also came with the factory leather electric touring seats. Choose your own adventure. I never once considered putting the factory seats back in it, those Nomex Recaros are awesome and perfect for track use. hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD911 Posted 5February, 2020 Report Share Posted 5February, 2020 Does anyone have any inside info on this one: https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2004-porsche-911-gt3-996-manual-my04/SSE-AD-6343468/?Cr=2 I tried to dig my way through the thread & couldn't find any previous comment.

Still got nothing yet on the Black one... Any of you guys heading out to Highball on Sunday? Would be great to meet a few other GT3 diehards out there... I did make an enquiry - it is looked after / stored at Cairns for the owner. Would appear to be rarely used. I hear that people tend to head off early from Highball, but I'm interested in going out after I pick up the car. If anyone from here is out there and happy to hang around 'til 11 at least, I'll head straight out there after I've picked up the car for a chat and a cuppa perhaps.
