I’m bored at work, so let’s look at some car listings! Hmm, I wonder how much a 997 GT3 RS runs these days...

Goddamnit. They’re still six figures. I guess I’ll settle for a Cayman GT4 then.

Hey! This one’s not too far from me! But... it’s at my shitty Hyundai dealer, the one that won’t even let me test drive a Veloster N without running my credit and taking a non-refundable deposit.

Oh well, I’ll stick with the FR-S for a little longer.

I want to know how a GT4 ends up at a Hyundai dealer.

It’s probably a buyback of some sort. This Hyundai dealer is known for their high-end used cars. I pass by the place everyday and they’ll always have something interesting sitting outside to lure people in . Things I’ve seen include: this GT4, a GT3, several CTS-Vs and ATS-Vs, a Corvette Z06, and a Rolls-Royce Ghost.

Probably bought it at the same auction he was dumping his trade-ins at.

Just go to the track, the 86 is as much fun as those on the track and if you know what you’re doing you can really make people question their six figure track car. Here’s me in my daily driven BRZ on 200tw street tires clowning on a 991 GT3 RS:

and later in the day

To be fair, this is the “Intermediate” group and I’m an instructor (I was leading the classroom and this was the only group I could run with due to the schedule).

You know about Southtowne, too!

Yep! But, in my experience, their sales staff is terrible, so I’m not sure I’d want to buy a car from them.

I don’t actually plan on getting rid of my FR-S. I was just bored at work and curious about the current pricing of the last manual GT3 RS. Though, you’re right, I need some track time. The last time I went to a track day was back in February and, of course, the FR-S was fun as all hell.

I assumed as much. I have a friend with a 991.2 GT3 and I got to drive it while instructing him at the track back in September. It was awesome.

This ride helped him progress immensely and he dropped about  5s afterwards.
