The 996 is killer! There's a white gt3 in my area... Man it gives me whiplash when I spot it
. Yep, great cars. The sound of that motor at 8,500 is in my memory forever. Best brakes I ever experienced. Give me 10% better brakes over 10% more hp! Those were expensive days, and worth every penny! As Wayne Gretsky said, "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take!"The 996 is killer! There's a white gt3 in my area...

You guys need to stop. I'd already zeroed in on a DC2 for my next "track/weekend" car and now I'm trying to convince myself why I shouldn't be looking at a 996.
My (unsolicited) advice, if you are going to look at a 996 series Porsche, and can afford it, look for a well maintained GT3. Any car of that generation will be way out of warranty, and the GT3 is about bullet proof. I guess most folks know, that motor is not a 911, but based on the GT1 Le Mans race car. It has a large dry sump tank and a bunch of oil pumps. They ran them tilted 90 degrees at the factory. That said, if you have a major issue, well, the repair will be an eye-watering figure. It is also not a car that most folks would endure on the street. With a lack of insulation, it's kind of like an engine bolted to a beer can, so interior conversation is a challenge. But, as long as the motor is running, there are better things to hear! If you do it, I can promise a life-changing experience.
Well. Since we are issuing unsolicited advice
