The more I scour the internets for them, the more I realize just how clean and wonderful the fried eggs are. I need a Carrera or C4 and then I need to get the GT3 spoiler and then hoon in circles and circles till the end of time.

I've always been infatuated with the Mk2, but the Mk1 is just so much better looking.

I've seen a few Carrea S cars with the same Aero package. You can get a good one for like 25K

Mine is exactly as pictured. And it's for sale. Leggy, tho. Come get it.

I have one. In Speed Yellow with sports suspension and GT3 wheels. It's for sale as well. Asking $29,700 in CAD, so $23,750 in USD.

I kind of want the 996 GT3 more than any other GT3

Cause it was the first one

But IMS bearing!

If I wasn't broke, and also hadn't just bought a 944, I would be on the phone with my bank right now

There's a 2000 in Arena Red with Full Natural Brown leather (the stuff on the millennium edition) in my area with IMS fix and 50k miles...it's 20k and I want it.

LOVE IT! If you weren't so far away I'd give it a look!

I'm seeing a bunch of 70-100k miles 99/00 models in the sub 20k range and the willpower is diminishing every day

The 996 was such a nice looking car. People can bitch and moan about it and the IMS all they want...just means cheaper 996 for me!

Exactly!

I wish the Turbos and GT3s weren't so expensive

Those are my fave 996s

Wildly overblown! Here's my advice, either buy a creampuff and get the IMS fix or buy something with 60k+ miles on it and the IMS problems are probably behind it. And should things go pear shaped, you can always LSx swap!

GAH THEY'RE SO PRETTY

Base model 99/00 C2/C4. You can get em dirt cheap and a couple visual mods and a couple engine mods and they're screaming!

Wow that is one pretty car. Is that 200k miles or kilometers?

alexotics > Flat Six 04/10/2015 at 12:27

200,800 kilometers. Leggy, I know. But I don't regret a single long distance trip. They were all worth it. :)

Where are you based? I'm down in Cali / Nevada / Oregon with it next month. :)

Thanks! It's one hell of a car. So is the 944 when all is well.

I think that is great. My 997 has ~ 130,000 km. I hope it makes it past 200 also!

Oh man, that's rough. Has the spring driving season started yet?

yes and no, the track at joliet hasn't opened yet. But the late night lake shore bets are definitely on and that's pretty scary.
