Tires and Wheels:

Tires in good condition: 6 mm tread depth rear, 7 mm front. The GT3 wheels show some corrosion spots, particularly at the junction of aluminum and magnesium, especially on the right rear wheel.

Mechanical and Functionality:

Engine is considered to be in good condition and has run flawlessly under current ownership. Brakes are well-balanced, stopping straight with no pulling. Gearbox and drivetrain feel good – perform best once oil is at operating temperature.
