[shimmy]

Ben

For the condition, £10k too cheap :thumbs:

[rstoughy]

Ben, I agree with Shim. Don't undersell it.

IMO this is how a CSL should have come from the factory.
Stunning car and glws :thumbs:

[glendog74]

Lovely. I have to agree, it is too cheap considering the extra monies spent ;)

[Yanto]

Love this car Ben....as I've said before, exactly how I'd have mine were I to 'trick it up'.

I'd personally change the front plate back to regular font and do a stick on jobbie

[GregorFuk]

I'm interested. With all you have done to the car other than a change, which is a perfectly good explanation btw, what more do you expect to get out of a GT3?

[pops]

Lovely. I have to agree, it is too cheap considering the extra monies spent ;)

To a point, yes.

Problem will be the same as I had with my R53 GP. Spent the best part of £20k modifying it and sold on all original bits. It was, according to general opinion, the GP everyone wanted, until it came to selling it!

Buyers either wanted an original GP or a modified Mini. It couldn't be classed as a GP so it took a while to sell plus I got nowhere near what had been spent.

Anyhow, GLWS Ben, look forward to seeing the GT3.

[Jonmitch]

Hi, looks epic. Did you get my email sent through PH?

[billyboysm3]

Absolutely awesome car, seen this car in the flesh many times, it is mint!!!

[Mike R]

Hope you don't regret it, as a standard 996 GT3 is not as balanced as a CSL. Needs quite a few mods to make it faster.

The Mk I version only does an 8.03 'ring time and the Mk II is still behind the CSL with a 7.54 :whistle:

Obviously if you're going for a newer model, forget all of the above :beer:.

Spent a long time last night looking at GT3 997's last night in Auto trader, a few came with roll cages and not too bad a price, got me thinking do I or not.

Have come down in price might be a good time to buy one. .. good time to hassle on price as many are not selling.

Serious car that Craig....Think you can handle it ?

Agreed

But with rumblings about gen 2 991 arriving with the 4 Ltr RS engine and a manual stick things could get even more interesting.

Having a look @ a GT3 tomorrow :smokin:. just a sniff but hoping for a test drive.

Promised the wife I wouldn't rush into anything :whistle:

[nw99]

I think the 991 gt3 and 991 gt3 rs will take a hit from the new manual but not so much the manual RS's .

Swapped CSL for 997 GT3 in August, have not regretted it for one second.
