Weird, because it is the first used car I have bought since 1973.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Planet-9: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

The Boxster S is getting a big brother, a GT3 to be my new track toy, no more VOS smoke from tracking the BS. :dance: Well I’ve succumb to the lure of the GT3 and put a deposit on a very nice 2004 996 GT3 with only 7200 miles on the clock. The car is in excellent condition and well cared for by its present owner. I was looking for a used 997 GT3 but the prices are still quite high and with the Canadian dollar doing so poor against the US dollar it just didn’t make sense at this time. Anyway now I have to look at two P-cars in the garage for the next 6 months till spring. Some of the option on the car: Canadian Spec Vehicle Only 12,000KMS No accidents, Mint Car Automatic Climate Control Black Porsche Mats Bi-Xenon Headlamp Pkg Porsche Crest in Headrests Guards Red Seat Belts Red Deviating Stitching Thicker Steering Wheel All Maintenance Records/History Car Cover/Battery Saver View attachment 7151 View attachment 7152 View attachment 7153

POST 3Original post

Congrats. You'll love the GT3 - especially if you track it. I did exactly the same thing - bought an '04 GT3 to go with my '06 CS in September. 4 track days so far and as good as the CS, the GT3 is better. Can't wait for next spring to really get some serious track time and really learn the car. My problem is I have a 2 car garage and I wanted to keep the CS.... Solution was a 4 post lift. Now I've got a 3 car garage with stacked Porsches. :banana: Enjoy.

POST 5Original post

Congrats! Now I'll have to go to the DE's next spring for sure!:cheers:

POST 7Original post

Congratulations. The GT3 is definitely exciting to drive. I have been having so much fun with the GT3. Weird, because it is the first used car I have bought since 1973. MY 2004 GT3

POST 8Original post

Thanks, this is also the first used vehicle I have purchased since 1988, but with only 7200 miles on the clock it is in like new condition. I'm looking forward to spring and getting the car onto a track for some excitement. It snowed here again last night so no chance to sneak it out for some test drives.

POST 9Original post

Many Congrats, hope ur snow is over soon so u can try it out more ________________________ "Sir! We're surrounded!" - "Excellent! We can shoot in any direction!" A good car will get you from point A to point B. A great car... will just get you into trouble!

POST 10Original post

Big brother (GT3) is now sitting in the garage waiting till spring, got it home from Calgary on Sunday. I trailered it home so I have not had a chance to take it for a decent drive, the wait is going to kill me. :helpme: View attachment 7213 View attachment 7214 View attachment 7215

POST 11Original post

Congrats. Beautiful car. The mythology surrounding the GT3 is that someone like myself- a Cayman DE guy- would be dead in a fiery crash within a lap or two. According to the chest- thumpers, driving the GT3 is like this: A GT3 (not the RS) has been a dream car of mine for a while. Throttle steering and letting the weight of the rear end step out a bit to execute a perfect 911-style turn hooked me the first time I experienced it. I just read the Excellence article on the M96 engine and it is clear that a GT3 is a different species. (Duh...but the details of our internals are very interesting) So. What is the real story? GT3? Race drivers need only apply?
