I drank the kool-aid: Looking at buying a modified 996 GT2

Folks-

I am looking at buying a 2002 GT2, which has been modified with a EVOMS 700 package, JRZ suspension, solid engine mounts, many other performance modifications.

It passed a 100 point inspection, but I am looking to find out more about the car before buying it. I know the answer is to find out who did the modifications, and how well they were done.

I want to track the car, and occasionally drive it on the street. I used to be a pro-racer, in IMSA with the 993 GT2 EVO (about 700 bhp in our race trim).

I know that Evolution Motorsports has a good reputation. If the car was in good shape, would it be useful as a track car (not drag-racing), and is this a reasonable strategy? I have a Ruf RTurbo as my daily driver and occasional track beast.

Thanks for any advice in advance. I can share the exact car I want to purchase if anyone would have had any experience with it. Either pm me or I can eventually post it.

Thanks - Gerry

Is it the black one? Great car. For what you are planning on doing with it, it will be perfect.

LUISGT3-

It is the black car. It is a 2003 I believe, but I am trying to hunt down its history.

Call me crazy, but I miss racing when the boost used to come on without warning in the corners!

If you know anything about this car, I would appreciate any information.

Thanks - Gerry

If it is one of NelsonF's previous cars you can be assured it is a well setup and well cared for car. I think it will certainly be up for the task at hand.
