Time to say goodbye......I love the car but cannot use it as a daily driver....3 kids and room for nothing make it not practical for me...

I already had the 3 car route and was a big pain switching between the 2.....

I have found that for racing and DE's etc...I would rather have an RS America or something older that i dont have to worry about getting thrashed etc...and cheaper tires on and on....

I love the 997 but am ready to move on....Any interest Pm me and I will put it in the classified section over the weekend....

05 997...

Hard to argue with, although I sold the GT3 to get a more usable daily driver (997S). It works for me as a daily, but can understand how it wouldn't for many. Additionally, getting a dedicated track car is w/o question the right thing to do. I grew tired of having a compromised street car for track use, and putting really expensive machinery at risk on track. I went the BMW route for a track car, only b/c I'm a huge E36 fan. Best of luck; I think you'll be happier with a good daily car and a track car that you can drive with reckless abandon.

it's hard to beat the arrive and drive concept of thrshing someone elses car. no deprciation, no worries about repairs/maintence, trailering, set-up, etc and it'l smoke anything you could possible come up with based on a street car: www.radicalwest.com

Streets of Willow would have cost me another 1800 in tires today!!!!

would getting rid of one kid make it easier? maybe then you could keep the car.




j/k good luck!

Dude that is so strong I don't even know how to react. Dedicated track car is the way to go.

Go for it. In 10 years you'll enjoy riding the 997 more than the wife.

If that doesn't work, then maybe considering doing a 2 for 1 trade for a Cayenne Turbo.

Sorry to see you go, but good luck. It is the wife and kids that have kept me from getting a Porsche for many years (and a Ferrari 360 Spider during the dotcom boom) .

"Go for it. In 10 years you'll enjoy riding the 997 more than the wife."


And in 10 years the car will hold up under hard use better than the wife! <j/k>

You're making a ton of sense, I would never be able to enjoy a new car on the track. I'd be worried about every rock chip. I'd reccomend a used m5 for hauling kids around while still having a little fun on the street.

RSS997, I loved all you commentary. I'll miss you on the board. I have to say now that I've packed up my car for the winter, I can't tell you the number of times it has crossed my mind "is it worth it?" The only thing that keeps me going is that it's been a childhood dream that I just can't give up. Good luck with the sale. Hope you get good value.

A 997/996 ain't no family car, I have an expedition for that, but I do enjoy taking my kids out in the 911. I can understand your choice.
