Selling the Kleemann mini-beast...

I put a deposit on a 997 GT2. In case anyone knows anyone who might be interested. I'm offering a $1,000 finders fee.

None taken. And not taking anything away from the E55, but I think you would seriously have a change of heart after driving this car.

going from a C55 to a GT2 is a hell of jump.

who ever buys your car will have some kinda a beast that not many people know about.

Before you sell it, you should run your car in Cali, to see what the real 1/4 and trap speed.

The altitude in LV does not represent your true potential.

I have no doubt that the car is "faster" in all aspects, especially handling, etc. Now, the GT2 is another story altogether. That is my dream ride. Do you know when the "new" chasis will be coming out on the 4s and TTs?

I've got a set of MT drag radials and I'm hitting the track here is Vegas this friday. Hoping to go 11.5 - .6

I will definitely post the results. Hoping to video tape it too.

My guess is that it won't sell for the price I want and I'll just have to keep it.... which is totally fine with me. All that means is I won't have as much of a down payment on the GT2. I would probably regret my decision to sell it anyways. In a perfect world, I would like to build a "stable" just like renntechV12. Maybe one day.
