2010 SVT Raptor 5.4 Fully Loaded - 41k obo

Will do Dan. I may consult with you before a purchase, since this will be my first forray into the Porsche world. As soon as I get the Raptor and Ducati sold, I'll begin negotiating with the dealership. Hey, at least I know how long the car has been in the window (months).

Get yourself on the Rennlist 997 GT2 and GT3 forum (here: http://forums.rennlist.com/ ) and start talking to those guys. They know it all about these cars. Seriously.

I'll be happy to help you with my car buying strategies and my Pcar knowledge but it's not as current as I would like \



Edit: First post I found on there was this one (PERFECT for you!!!) - I did not read to the end so it may have been sold. I'd recommend going used first especially on a car like this:

997.2 GT3RS for sale: for sure now

Don't get a GT3 RS or a GT2 RS get a GT3 RSR. Which reminds me I saw Flying Lizard Motorsports hauler today in Mooresville.

I'm sure (1) the RSR isn't street legal and (2) it's over his budget.

1 street legal is relative term how many "street legal" 1000hp mustangs, F-body, Vettes etc do you see on the road.
2 budgets are guidelines and should never hold you back from what you want. He said he wants a brute force NA 911 for track use.

BTW before I quit my last job I was having a hard time trying to decide if wanted a 996 turbo, 997.1 turbo, or GTR.

 

[MagicMtnDan]

Tank, an RSR is not a modified production vehicle. It's a purpose-built race car from the factory. That's a lot different than 1000HP Mustangs, etc.

So, what'd you buy, the 996 turbo, the 997TT or the GTR? (Of the three I hope you didn't pick the GTR).

 

[bradyh20]

I don't thin RSRs come with VIN numbers. Besides, I think I'll get myself into plenty of trouble with the GT3... I mean, this will be my first high performance sports car. I had a modded 350Z in the past, but that's it.

Thanks for the info Dan, that ad is great!! I'm definitely going to go that route if things fall into place here.

Maybe I'll see if a family member wants to buy the Raptor and leave it at my place so I can have both!! lol...

 

[MagicMtnDan]

If you haven't already, be sure to take a track class or two or three. Everyone benefits from them. And the thing about high performance sports cars is they go faster, brake harder and will get you into trouble quicker. Tracking your car is a great experience and you quickly learn it's not nearly as easy as it looks on TV :mrgreen: It's also an expensive hobby.

I know the RSR is a purpose built race car. I have a slightly smaller version of this one to look at everyday.

996's are ugly and GTRs come with to much baggage from Nissan. I was leaning heavily towards the 997TT

Word of advice you need to see how you fit in a 911. I feel a little cramped in one and I'm 6ft and 250lbs

 

[bradyh20]

Tank, I think that's great advice. Actually, that's one of the only things I'm worried about. I'm 6'2", 290, so I'm not exactly a small boy, but I was very comfortable in my 350Z. I was comfortable when I sat in a 997TT. Still have yet to sit in the GT3RS, though. I wonder if the cage tightens things up at all?

Good advice man, thanks.
