No DE's or auto-x?
Now why would I shell out $19k plus insurance costs on a car I can't drive the piss out of on the track, especially one designed for the track?
BTW, I'm just being contrary here... and I think I want the car for the Tail of the Dragon trip each year

Missed It By That Much!
Here is the e-mail I received today:
"Bill,
I just wanted to send you a quick e-mail to let you know that the '03 GT2 you were enquiring about actually sold this morning. Thank you for your interest and if there is anything we can help you out with in the future, then please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Adam Brooks
Porsche of Omaha"

Talk about pissing on a guy's campfire!
I knew that car wouldn't last long. Supercar performance for just $80k and a bumper to bumper warranty no less. Plus, the guy got the "ticket me red" paint job at no extra cost!
Bill, if it's any consolation, that heap was six years old and had the cheap "plasticky" interior that my car has. Your 987's interior is much nicer, although you can't light up your tires for three blocks or do 0-100 in a five seconds.
Let's find another one to dream about buying together. This thread was a lot of fun.
How about we start a new thread and go in to buy one of those homes on a private race course and timeshare it?
We could park a GT2 in the garage for occupant use.

Good idea Randall, I've enjoyed this thread too. It really made me start dreaming....
There was a Porsche 959 that popped up on eBay a few years back. I was thinking about trying to work out a similar deal for a "group buy" to purchase that car. Let's see if we can't find a 959 for us to purchase together!!!  I've got $40K that's just getting wasted right now with miserably low interest rates. Maybe it's time to invest in a part of something more enjoyable.

Kirk, since all of this is just a way to piss away the work day for all of us, I'd like to recommend you invest some of that $40k in a place where it will do the most good and gain a LOT of interest:

Kirk, $40K won't even get you a 10% share. Those cars are well north of $400,000 now. Come to think of it, $40K won't even cover yearly expenses for tires, maintenance and insurance.

Haven't been online for a couple of days, so I wasn't aware the GT2 was gone. Stopped at Woodhouse after work today to check it out and see if it was plastered full of bondo, had bald tires, and no brakes. Heard the news about it's purchase. The new owners are a couple from Omaha, so it's staying in the area.
