dude, as many guys here know I am obsessed with everything 7.1 GT3, and from my studying I can deduce that all the car needs is a sharkwerks bypass and it will be utterly amazing. Good luck, JC
No lightweight flywheel? Monoblock P40's with matte black finish?

Now I'm just going down my list of mods

Well of course LWFW, but with my friends GT3 w/only the bypass the experience of driving it was sublime. Any car like this is a money pit (in terms of mods you want), I'm just saying that unless you have plans for a titanium exhaust, do the bypass first.

Sounds like a plan

Just emailed the seller, hopefully I'll setup the inspection tomorrow... and get a clean bill of health by weds

in a word yes -- stock cross drilled rotors crack easily
in how many miles? depends on a lot of factors like what track, driver habits, etc

I would not be afraid of cracked rotors especially if they have been replaced by slotted rotors.

I have attached a Porsche cracked rotors memo
Summary -- hole to hole cracks or cracks going to the edge of the rotor -- not good

a good PPI and DME report (no type 3s for sure, type 2s the car has to be a good deal as there are plenty available with no type 2s)

hope this is helpful
