I'm sure you know that the $112k price is the BASE price with zero options. This GT3 is about how I'd want mine to be equipped but with the addition of a few more options such as the CDZ gear shift trim, electronic engine mount and front lift system (the latter two were not available at the time this car was ordered).

Yeah, that's over 350 lbs-ft ..... bet you not many people have a torque wrench laying around in their garage that goes much past 250 lbs-ft ...... or the AAA guy for that matter

Yea, I know. But that car really doesn't have all that much besides the PCCB's. I'm sure if I went online & built one it would be $175+. When I did it to a Cayman it was about $112, & just made me laugh.
I'd pass on the engine mounts, seams like a lot of work & added troubles for engine mounts. The front end lift is great!!

I thought of your RS America when I saw that 3.8. Porsche has always been good at "throwback" touches. This one is unsold as far as I can tell.
