by the way,
For all you guys that would like to replace your Boxster for a GT3. I guy in my local autox club did just that 986-> GT3 -> GT3 RS (the orange one). His comments about the GT3 echo many that I've heard and one I experienced one day when I was passenger on a long rainy drive in one. The car in the wet is VERY unpredictable. One minute we were chugging along fast and a split second later...oh boy. That car got loose with all that power and you're just a passenger.
No warning, no flashing red light, nada. SCARY......That right there cured me of ever thinking about replacing the garage fun mobile for one of those. With a wrong or bad alignment, after hitting a really bad pot hole, the car is downright dangerous.
Now if you live in an area where the roads are mostly flat and smooth no problem.

by the way the GT3/2 and the TT all have the engine block used in the Cup Cars.
The other Carreras do not. So you get much better value than a C4S or C2 in terms of engine for these dirt cheap prices nowadays.
