Porsche GT3 RS What you do with it?

Last week my friend got in his new Porsche GT3 RS. The car has been selling for between $170,000 - $180,000 depending on options. He took me for a ride but didn't offer to let me drive it. When I talked to him a few days ago he told me he was going to start getting the car ready for his up coming race in New Zealand today. The cars brand new and he's going to start taring out the whole interior, putting in a roll bar, doing some engine mods and putting in a different transmission. I thought it would be interesting to get some pictures of someone taring up a new $180,000 car. I went there with my camera today but now his not going to start on the car until tomorrow. I'll try to get some pictures of the car being modified. He's going to fly the car to New Zealand in 2 weeks. Here is a few pictures of the car before any modifications.



My friend deals in high end cars and alway has a nice inventory. It's always fun to go there just to take the cars for a ride. A while back I posted some pictures of some of his inventory at the time. Since I was there with my camera I thougt I might as well take a few pictures for AG.













Here's one for pirex - Audi S8 with a V10 - Very nice interior:

I don't know if Porsche offers a package with a roll cage on the RS but the car does not have one. I did see one RS on ebay that had a roll cage. Porsche will build you an actual race car if you want. In the type of ralley racing my friend does you must start with a stock car. It seems like a shame to start taring up such a nice car.

That is a very nice vehicle, I'm with you shame it's being torn apart for mods...I think it's fine the way it is...but if your going to be racing with it you have to make all the mods.

Very nice pictures and the vehicles are very nice.

Thanks for sharing Gary.

If he has the money to strip and race a car like that then let him.At least it won't sit in the garage and collect dust.
