You can get an R8 as a spyder, and for me that counts, because I want to soak up the sounds. Too bad that's not really an option for a GT3

Anyone familiar with this car?

It's been sitting for a couple weeks and seems to be considerably less asking than most of the other GT3's.
Does the mileage scare people or is there something wrong with it?

7k miles a year is nothing. Probably runs better than other 2022 cars with 1k miles

The mileage doesn't scare me. I put 9,000 miles in one year on my 992 GT3 because I don't buy my cars to sit around and do nothing - the Porsches are workhorses and don't mind the miles.

OP, the gearbox on the 992 is 1000x times better than the rubbery mess in the F8X. The car is also vastly superior on track, you will not miss the F80 in that aspect; the only thing that the F80 has is practicality and some straight line speed because BMW underrates the car from the factory.

Oh, I wasn't suggesting the miles scared me. I want a drivers car and am happy to enjoy the discount because it has some miles on it.
But it seems that it scares other people. Ferrari syndrome.

If the R8 was a coupe Id keep that cuz Im just not a huge fan of those soft tops. In this case Id get a 992 GT3 for sure.

A few years ago I drove a beautiful Daytona Grey R8 V10 6 speed that was traded on a new Ferrari. I had a 991.2 GT3 manual at the time and I was contemplating a possible swap while lusting for that Lamborghini developed 10 cylinder and gated 6 speed.

The GM tossed me the keys and said drive it. Looking back, I know he was hoping I would like it so he could get my GT3 on trade. I was only gone 15 minutes, but that was all I needed to determine that this car could never replace a GT3. That said, it would have made an interesting stablemate and a wonderful grand tourer on road trips.
