Hi guys looking for opinions/advice, I love em but don't know a lot about em, still keeping my A5 but this will be my weekend toy 2007 Porsche 911 GT2, Car was upgraded at 32,500 miles with the following options. A.W.E. 650S/700R Package- Larger Intercoolers, larger Throttle Body, Intercooler piping, A.W.E. Exhaust (Upgraded to $5500 FVD Exhaust) High-Flow Headers, And $5000 Custom GIAC Tuning with handheld tuning/ flashing device with Race, Pump, Valet, and Kill modes. 650hp on pump gas, 93 octane. And 700hp on race gas 104 octane. Dyno's 594 RWHP 564 RWTQ!!! I wanted the look and power of the up-coming GT2RS and set-out to make a better handling, more powerful and luxurious supercar. 2010+ Dynamic Driving Headlights 2010+ LED tail lights, with LED conversion Interface for perfect integration. 2010+ LED amber turn signals 20x9" and 20x12" Forgiato Monoleggera Maglia Rims w/ Pirelli P-Zero Tires. Flat black with Porsche Guards Red stripe. Bilstein PSS10 coil-overs OEM Porsche 911 GT2 Front bumper OEM Porsche 911 GT2 side skirts OEM Porsche 911 GT2 Rear bumper NR Auto GT2 Rear Deck lid/ Wing with carbon fiber blade NR Auto GT Style Hood FVD Exhaust with Custom Black powdercoated Exhaust tips OEM Porsche GT2 Seats, Carbon fiber backs, custom suade inserts with leather outer. Porsche crests in headrests. Custom painted everything on the interior with beautiful Porsche Guards Red paint. Custom "EXTRA_THICK" Suade steering wheel with D-Bottom RSS Drop-Links, GT2 sways A.W.E. Custom floor mats Always taken care of and never smoked in, never tracked, and never abused. Still smells new inside! Fully loaded, With everything but the kitchen sink. Navigation-GPS, Integrated Phone, Multi-Function custom steering wheel, Ice cold A/C, Tires are 95% and have around 3k miles, still have the little knobbies on the side, he's asking $89,500 for it, it's in Texas so I will fly down & drive it back, I hope, anyways I value your opinions so if you think it's not a good deal or If you know any known issues with these cars let me know, thanks

Seriously though, it sounds like a well-sorted car and an absolute beast! I say pull the trigger as long as you can get a very knowledgeable Porsche mechanic to thoroughly inspect it.

Thanks Cheeba, I read up on you build before, that's quite the project, I contacted Alex at AWE to see if he remembers this car, seeing how much this guy did I thought he might, just to ask him what he thinks of it or if he knows something that I should know, also forwarded it to Brian @ Pfaff Tuning, he's very knowledgeable about them, not to mention lives down the street, which is a blessing & a curse, he always has ideas for things to do to my car, never cheap ones

I think I'd avoid a turbocharged 911 that is 3,000 miles away unless:

1. I have a mechanic who works at a Porsche dealership do a full inspection including a compression test
2. I have a mechanic who works at a Porsche dealership do a full inspection including a compression test
3. welll...you know what 3 is.

Was going to have it inspected @ Porsche stealership down there, I plan on going down there to check it out in person & if it's all good either drive it or ship it if I don't have time, we'll see, Carfax came back spotless which is a good start, plus the wife approves, didn't like the R8 or the GTR but loves this 1
