Jason A Posted 4September, 2018 Report Share Posted 4September, 2018 It’s the lad who sat at the back of the class in high school. His dad owns a concrete business. You can’t drive a GT3 with rubber boots on - it’s balancing things out. MezgerMan, edgy and micknine01 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiller Posted 4September, 2018 Report Share Posted 4September, 2018 ^^^ nice buy Rick. The previous owner was parked next to me at the PCSA show and shine a couple of years ago and it looked like a well kept example. I miss my GT3.

Super clean/nice GT3.

Carby Posted 8September, 2018 Report Share Posted 8September, 2018 I was searching for the right 993C2M after letting my 964C2M go but couldn't find the right car. Went sideways and bought a GT3 and haven't regretted a moment. Its just enough comfort with a real analog experience which keeps you honest as a driver. It may as well be a cup for its practicality and I don't get to drive it as often as I'd like. Still haven't got round to installing Spillers RS wheel! An RS3 would be a rapid daily but I can see the appeal of something lumbering and couch like. There were only two Seal Grey GT36.2 sold. I wonder if the other one is still out there, I think I saw it at Rennsport a few years ago. spiller, Gas, Fraz and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTP911 Posted 6October, 2018 Report Share Posted 6October, 2018 Few models are more coveted in the rarefied world of Porsche collecting than the track-destined RS models. Part of the allure is because arguably the most important of the batch, the 996, the first GT3 to have a designated RS model, didn’t come to America. Here’s how a group of collectors brought one over anyway. https://jalopnik.com/these-heroes-imported-the-only-porsche-911-gt3-rs-never-1828791836 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
