To top it off, one can search the used market and find bargains for a 997 GT3, and with some balls you can get the RS version (by balls I mean more money).
For what it is though...Awesome! Simply Awesome!

I see what you are saying about the GT3, but a stock GT3 is not race ready either. You'd have to put a full cage in it, strip it (even a GT3 can be stripped further), and install the other safety equipment. And this guy probably picked up a used 08 M3 for a little under $50k (or at least that is probably what the car was worth before the conversion). A used 997 GT3 will run you more like $80k I think.
