Now that sounds right and I get that will be the scenario. Thanks

stratocaster69

So whats right and whats wrong. lol I originally asked a ? out of curiosity, and said I don't care one way or the other. Otherwise I wouldn't be on a list for a GT3. Respectfully speaking!

The ultimate authority must always rest with an individuals own reason and critical analysis.

Thanks

Key Left

Think in terms of the legacy driving experience. The difference between a base Carrera and a S or GTS speed-wise is a few tenths. Who can really tell the difference? The Base is lighter and many pundits have recommended it over the other models due to the engine being more "sweet" to operate.
So, in the future all these three will be slower than their successor. People will want the sweetest legacy experience first, therefore Base will be the most sought after. It's also the lowest production model. IMHO.

Totally. I agree. To me its not about speed at all or I would have kept my Nissan GTR.

It was the ultimate feel of the 911 that had me sold for sure. Its not about buying it either thinking it might one day be a Hemi Cuda parts matching car or whatever. I was just getting thoughts and appreciate yours.

But its funny how some people misunderstand and than the thread goes ten different ways. I think people don't read the original threads and than start basing opinions and ideas off of the latest post. No harm done and I appreciate your input.

If I love this car and when the time my name moves up the list to where I can get a GT3. I will nix that order and get my deposit back and be happy. In the mean time its really all about enjoying driving it to me.

Thanks for the input though (: I appreciate it!

[QUOTE=MJBird993;12533680d) you'll never keep the Ferrari/GTS/whatever 20 years[/QUOTE]

not true for me and my friends.

if garage space is not a problem, I don't see the problem of keeping our toys longer than 20+ years. It's not like we have to sell them to buy food.

ignacio

there are too many produced.

U bet man enjoy it. Only god and the future knows the answer to this one question I asked and got all the great responses from.

Trip that is the way I feel. I actually changed my order to guards red. I will be right honest too. I am on a GT3 list and they said it more than likely would be 3 years until it was my turn and for what they get allocated.

I honestly hope this car proves to be so great that I will give up my slot when the time comes and get my deposit back lol. Maybe in that time too the GT3 will be turbo.

I honestly will be happy one way or the other. Your car is gonna be cool, enjoy it!

True that. Unfortunately, the cost of obtaining a residential lot large enough to support a second garage and then building said garage and maintaining both the huge house (required to justify the huge lot) and huge garage end up (in my case) allocating all required funds necessary for filling said garage with cars.

I was going to do this a few years ago - I had a nice 3 acre lot, building plans, was going through builder selection, and then I realized that the only way I could comfortably afford it was to have only one car. Poor me. First world, yada, yada.

So now I have a three car garage, room for her car, my daily and my toy. I suppose I could buy another toy and put the daily outside - or even leave a toy or two outside, but none of those options thrill me. I used to keep a toy in a storage center, but that was very inconvenient and not inexpensive. So I just flip them often. Which ain't cheap either...

Bacura

Yes ,but flipping a 911 for a Z3? Doh.

stratocaster69

Yes but he will be happy lol More shine on them wheels!
