The car has been modded to be a bulletproof hoot on the track, while still maintaining that "clean" look on the street. I have done 3 track days with the car myself (cannot speak for the prior owners, although the car didn't show any major signs of track usage when I took possession). No offroad excursions and absolutely no accidents. Paint is all original.

Pictures can be found here (including an album of all of the cosmetic "imperfections" on the car): https://www.flickr.com/photos/116409993@N05/


Here is a short YouTube video of what it sounds like being driven on the track (gf is in the car, so I had to take it easy):

Wow Z4MC -> Exige -> GT3. You sir are my idol.

I do have pipedreams for a GT3... someday

Nice Lotus... GLWS!

You do have fine choice in cars. Only if it were white though.

Thanks, guys! To be modest, it's a 996 rather than the 997 that most people consider to be more desirable. Hopefully one day I can get myself into a 997 GT3RS
