Looking For A GT2?

[RandallNeighbour]

Bob:

I tell you what I'm gonna do for you. You buy that GT2 and no matter where you live, I'll fly out at my expense and bring my sawzall with me. I've got a new metal-cutting blade in it I've been dying to use and we'll cut you a sunroof in the top or take off the whole top... the more cuttin' I get to do the better!

If you have a buddy that has a tig welding machine, he could slap a couple of aluminum cross braced underneath the car to give it some structural rigidity that the roof was providing and bob's your uncle, you just got yourself a GT2 Cabriolet!

PM me with your info so I can book a ticket

PS - If anyone is reading this and Bob actually takes me up on it, your kind donations to my hospital bills would be greatly appreciated. Bob will have big hospital bills to pay too... Lord knows some Porsche lover will find us doing this to the GT2 and kick our butts fourteen different ways until we can't walk or talk or see out of either eye.

We need to do a group buy!

Randall, Perfectlap and Bob each send my $19 large. I think I can negotiate the price down a little. Then we each get the car 4 months of the year.

I respectfully request May-August.

Here is a little tidbit regarding the GT2. It was traded in for a Caymen S!

I love the idea of fractional ownership of a GT2 but I have a few pre-purchase questions...

Now how are you going to handle it when one of the four owners slams the car into a wall at a DE?

Who pays for the control arms at $800 each plus labor this car will wear out in just one DE season?

Does each fractional owner receive the car with new tires on it?

Randall:

No DE's or Auto-X-ing.

Your man Hans does all the labor and scheduled maintenance. We all pay 25%.

Perfectlap does the big yearly detail stuff. We each send him a couple "Franklins" for his effort.

Before we send the car to the next fraction owner, fresh Michelin Cup tires are put on at the current users expense.

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

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

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.
