My all-time favorite Carfax report. Title was washed when it got to California.

The other one was on a car where I called him out and was told "KMA".

Needless to say I didn't buy either.

FWIW; rolling back odometers has come back in vogue. Of course you can catch it with a Carfax but there are plenty of "trusting" souls who are ignorant or unwilling to spend the money.

Did you ever have a 6GT2? Curious of the comparison from a big time trackday guy...

just an FYI, the odometer discrepancy was kind of my fault with the car, but really the DMV's fault.

It was the winter in NY so I let the car sit and didn't drive it for the inspection. I kept on a friends dealer plate

So I put miles on the car for months , and then failed 2 emissions inspections and didn't know what to do (wound up being something so simple as a bad MAF sensor) which my shop replaced, and passed literally 15 minutes later.

So the dmv used the mileage the car got delivered with and not what I drove on before registration. lol

No rolling back

didn't own one but drove many.
my response to illm3 is that if he has "reservation" about his old car, he will always have "reservations". if so, might as well start new joney.

7 is more stable then 6, some would say less exciting.

Well

7 gt2 def was a bit boring to me, fantastic however

My gt2 was setup insanely well, you even helped me along the way mooty, as well as lex at moton !!!! The car was so stupid fast in my hands anywhere I went and usable, never scary with my suspension setup!!!

Anyway for the money nothing can touch it IMO, it's double for a. Stock 997 gt2, I already have my Gallardo, m5 , Benz...

I think I'm going to buy gt2 back and do some more stuff to it to make it even more of a dedicated track car

If you're building a dedicated track car then I wouldn't worry about history or anything. Is that GT2 Leg Keen drove for a while still for sale? All those widebody bits looked awesome.

The day Lambo Dallas launched the Murcielago LP 740 at MSR was an invite day at the ranch and their hot shoe driving it could not keep up with this GT2.

Bwhahahahahahah, I remember that day!!! They were NOT very happy with me! If memory serves, I was completely unaware that it was some un-vailing. at one point I had the track record there for a car with license plates... 1:18 I think... (I could be WAY off.) I think it hit that actually on that stupid reality show they did out there.
