fingers crossed

they can leave the turbo's in the garage, as far as I'm concerned, and just let us drive new GT3 manual and RS PDK

I like them all. But the RS on that track is something else.

I think with US GT3 deliveries scheduled for Fall, they'd get some cars over there. I was disappointed they didn't have the GT4s when I was there in the Spring.

yes, I was kind of disappointed about the Gt4 as well, but I have both GT3 and 4, and track both of them, but once I drove the RS at Barber I called my dealer and am 1st on the list for 991.2 RS! Turbo too heavy, lacks the front end lightness, sharp steering and feel of GT cars because of AWD, chassis too soft, etc....fine for a DD-grand tourer though

Better the Turbo than one of the boxters - I could not get comfortable in those seats! The GT4 is great on the track. I'd not really done any track events until I went to Barber. Afterwards, I was hooked.

Are you doing the .2 GT3 before the .2 RS?

nope, line was too long ....I would have never got an allocation locally, and I have the GT4 for my manual fix....RS is another animal all together though.....

Makes sense. And you'll get your fill of the .2 at Barber!

In answer to the queries about colour, yes one was chalk/crayon. Looks darker in the flesh. Really divides people but most I spoke to liked it. Black wheels is a must with this colour IHMO. Here's another shot of the car.

The Agate looked ok, but still looks to much like an "executive" car to me.

The two colours that surprised were Miami blue and Graphite Blue. Never really liked the former but somehow it works on the GT3.

So that's why our cars are delayed, they needed them for a quick "quality control" at the master class :-)

Fantastic, too much chance to ride a Spa and thank you for the pics. I'm too excited to receive my 991.2 GT3 but now because of the delay I still do not have a delivery date! I just hope it arrives before the factory closes for holliday.
Do you have news about your delivery ?
Thanks

In a vacuum, all of the colors look good. But, in the real world where 80%+ of cars on the road are white or gray, how could someone pick a color that dull on a car like this?

I hate Miami Blue in person on the Carrera/Turbo and Cayman. But I love it on the GT3...in these pictures. I wonder how I'll feel seeing an MB GT3 in person. I'm hopeful because oddly enough, the MB turbo in these pics still looks weird IMO.

All RS look good with loud colors, or classic ones, but GT3 always looks great in classic Motorsport white or silvers. IMO, white pops arguably more than most all the other colors.

My 7.1 RS was orange and was brilliant, but I would personally never get a GT3 in a loud RS type color.

Horses for courses though, just like pdk or 6mt...lol
