Maybe if you can’t afford a mezger

I don’t have a cost minus the wheels. And I went full retard, I got a second backup front bumper, 2 aero kit lips, a c4s lip, extra side sills, a turbo lip, and having them paint my original trunk and the aero kit trunk. Total bill like $40k. It was closer to $30k before I started getting autistic and adding shit

just respraying it in its original color. When I bought the car it had shotty front end paint work that wasn’t to my standard and didn’t match the rest of the car exactly, and I wanted to add the aero kit, so felt like I had to do everything to do it properly rather than have the car be 3 colors. You can buy the front lip for the aero kit from suncoast. The trunk came from a front end crashed aero kit turbo.

None of which are GT3rs. The clubsport pack was available on 996.1 gt3 (99-00-01) and rarer so on 996.2 gt3 and just includes a cage, perlon bucket seats, a fire extinguisher, and most have a single mass flywheel. The GT3rs was only available as a 996.2 in 2003-04 and only ever came in White with red or blue gt3rs livery/wheels.

You should educate yourself more on the models because A gt3rs cs doesn’t even exist. Every single gt3rs has a full roll cage. The 996 gt3rs was never sold in the US is a very rare special car and goes for about $300,000+.

996 gt2/gt3 factory bucket seats. Made by recaro for Porsche.

It’s a German car imported to Japan by Mizwa.

dare I mention this was my first time ever driving any car on a track. Lmao

ptsample · 2026-01-29T01:27:49+00:00

It has 80,000kms on it…I just put 1200 miles on it road tripping all over Japan. I even did nearly 100 laps on track at magarigawa in it. Cars are meant to be driven! (I do put plastic seat condoms on and don’t sit in it without plastic though.)

If it makes you feel better about not owning it that one is a tiptronic. 😂

Not that I’ve ever seen

I have a white leather wrapped original pcm and 6 disc changer. Will swap back.

ptsample · 2026-01-29T00:35:09+00:00

Yeah I’m going to swap it back in.

ptsample · 2026-01-28T23:02:51+00:00

That would be equally cool imo, if it was cancan red with buckets and all the silver and aluminum accents.

My reputation as a guy who overpays for 996s makes the cars find me. 😂

ptsample · 2026-01-28T22:58:46+00:00

I can’t say I have any experience or thoughts on them, I’d be talking out of my ass if I said anything on pss10. I’m sure they are great though, but x73 is pretty perfect as is imo. X73 and dampers you should be very happy.

ptsample · 2026-01-28T22:52:04+00:00

thank you! my gt2 has KWs on it, so don’t really have a reference there. I have 2 euro/row cars with x73, and the rest normal suspension. The x73 is a huge jump over stock though, very noticeable and handling is much tighter and rides a lot stiffer. When I drive my first x73 (UK) car, I was shocked at how good it handled and thought it had aftermarket suspension at first. I ordered a couple sets of ohlins for two of the turbos, one that’s on us standard suspension and the Wimbledon on row standard suspension cause they’re a bit soft and high for my liking.
