I know we covered this before but does the sport button also change the throttle input, making it more responsive or is it just the valves? My sport button doesn't really do anything but light up.

It is supposed to be a different engine map and more torque.

I thought it changed the A in PASM also, other threads have said it’s nearly indistinguishable off track

In the sports setting, the exhaust backpressure in the variable exhaust system is reduced, the gas cycle improved and the torque noticeably increased in the rpm range between approx. 3,000 and 4,200 rpm. This leads to an increase in the torque values of between 15 and 18 ft lbs (20 and 25 m) and an increase in the power output of 13 bhp

Doesn't change anything on the suspension or stability control. Have to use the PASM and SC/TC buttons for that. Sport mode opens up the exhaust bypass valves earlier and adjusts the ignition and fuel mapping to work with the reduced back pressure. This is where the HP and TQ gains come from.

I bet the owner feels like they are making out. If i recall correctly, they had that car listed at like 75-80k. I actually was going to trade my '19 TRD Pro 4runner in for it (plus cash on my end) but the gap was too big. At the time i couldn't ditch that truck, in the same model year as new with 10k miles, for 42k. 2 years later they were 55+. Talk about not worth it...

Possibly his grand plan to corner the market and make a profit didn't flourish.

Also wonder if he ever registered the cars in his name as if he didn't and now dealers are selling his goods, that's title skipping..... a felony!
according to Zweck, he traded in this GT3 for another “special” porsche. Who knows, could be BS.

As long as we're just shooting the **** here.
I don’t know how many Vesuvio Rs are out there, but I came so close to buying on maybe 3 years ago. I really liked that car. Bought my GT3 instead.

I was referring to the RS (this car):

But there was a Cayman R for sale in this color I believe in the Midwest in maybe 2018 or 2019 which also may have been worth a look. I think it was Vesuvio with black wheels, graphics, mirrors, etc. It also had added black stripes on it. If that's what you're referring to. There can't be many of those in existence. It wouldn't be shocking if it was the only one.

Hello. I own a manual ‘09 Turbo and I’m currently looking to add a GT3 to the garage. I’ve got two in which I’m interested but the prices are quite different: 2011 with 14,500 miles for $170k and a 2010 with 22k miles for $200k. The 2010 is slightly better equipped with PCCB, adaptive sport seats, center console painted, and a few other options. My question, is it worth the extra $20k and difference in mileage to get a GT3 with these options? Thank you!

For $200k I’d probably let mine go as I have a 992 coming in a few months. 14k miles, pccb, axle lift, dynamic engine mounts and gt2 carbon buckets. Mint.

What is condition like between the two? Maintenance history? Prior track use, not that it's an issue but if one lived 14k miles on track and the other lived 22k miles on the street, that may come into play. Color on each? If we're talking an Aqua Blue example with PCCB's, then that would probably be the one I'm buying. But if both are same color, similar condition and service history, I'd personally go for the $170k one. PCCB's and adaptive seats should not be a $30k difference.
