Well, I can verify, that if that is the correct VIN# that it is a real GT2. I just ran it in Porsche's system. MSRP was $187K. something doesn't jive though. as that VIN(Car) should have a Painted rear center console, sport seats w/painted seatbacks, Arctic Silver int pkg (looks like part of that's there) crest in headrests(where ever the seats are) and black mats. it's almost like it was gutted to be a race car and then the original interior was lost...and they put std. turbo interior parts back in when it was reassembled (probably for a salvage yard).

That was my exact observations.

This forum never ceases to amaze me...any semi-limited production/special car that hits the market is always tracked down and potential customers are provided with great information.
Good job 6!

Was the GT2 gauge cluster the exact same as the turbo (6600 redline, 200mph top speed, no GT2 emblem on tach). Could someone post a picture of the rear deck of another GT2. I'm curious if the GT2 emblem is spaced properly. That would certainly indicate repainting.
And why would he have temp plates on a car he is selling for a friend?
I guess no one from this site will be jumping on this one.

Guys,
This car is trouble for sure. I saw it at Protosport. A wholesaler bought it at an auction and took it to Protosport to see if they could straighten out the car to resell it. John at Protosport said the car is a disaster. The wholesaler offered the car to John for like $50k to get out of it and John turned it down. John said he found so many problems with the car that it was beyond repair.
