Hi RC.

The SC in question has been on a car doing heavy track work for well over a year and was designed by a team that (successfully) races Porsches.



I don't know any racing team to race a supercharged Porsche in a professional racing series.
And I don't know any racing team to race a 996 with the "ordinary" M96 engine in a professional racing series.
And how can you be sure about reliability if a racing team/tuner can repair the car as often as they like to and people wouldn't even know.
It makes a difference if you race a car a few rounds or if you drive it day by day in traffic, stop and go, bad fuel, hot air, etc.

A little question: why does Porsche use a different engine on the 996 Turbo and GT2 and even on the GT3?
I guess you know the answer.
But its your money.

Porsche keep their resale value pretty well if they're stock.
As soon as people start to modify/tune them, they loose in value.
Also very important is the color of the car.
I rarely see yellow, red or white Porsche over here in Germany... Don't know about the US.
