Got to love RL.

So in the pre-Touring day’s I looked into this and the optimal solution is a GT3RS decklid without the wing with blanking plates to cover the wing mount. Not sure if it fits a GT3, but it gives a little duck tail which is tasteful (you can find pics of GT3RS with the wing removed) and does not move like all the other spoilers. On a Carrera/touring, the spoiler opens at speed and also opens on a switch and I believe also for cooling opens. This requires ECU/software and a wire to the decklid spoiler. Fitting a spoiler with just a switch should be easy enough, but you are losing a bunch of functionality.

One word - Sawzall.
Problem solved.

Easiest solution is to let your dealer have your current car and place a new Touring Pack order.

Lol, don't forget the sound. Without the wing it's suddenly quiet when you're shifting around 8,500 rpm...

then why did you order a GT3 to begin with?

I wish Porsche never did this GT3 Touring variation. I think it mocks what a GT3 was meant to be from the beginning.

I think it is a complete embarrassment.

Sure- I am happy for those who wanted an "R" and this will fill that void. Do not get me wrong and this is not directed at any one who wants one and/or is getting one. Congrats to you all it will be a hell of a car

Porsche listened but stooped to levels I never tough they would go.

This is not a GT3 nor an "R" in my mind.

I wish they just called it some thing different and made it a separate model.- That's all

I have a feeling many here agree.

I'm getting one and even I broadly agree with you. Honestly I even have a problem with the word "touring" which conjures up images of Aston Martins and AMGs. When for me, and I'm guessing others like me, we want it for the retro/purist hardcore/sleeper mix that the R really nailed. In my mind it's closer to what Porsche's used to be.

OP should ignore the snidely tone of some here, but take their advice. Sell the car back to the dealer and try to get a Touring allocation.

Who really cares what it's called? You could paint Douchebag Edition on the back of a 911R and I'd still pay sticker for one.

And yes, I know, some people would say that should be what it says on the back of my car.

Thanks.

I reread what i wrote and thought may be it was not well explained and would be misinterpreted

Will be a great car but i do not think i will see it on the street and say-"Hey- that is a GT3". I different model designation would of been ideal. Still it would never deter me to get one if this is what I desired because i would careless what the OP thinks

_fletch

Yup - I agree with many others on here. Should have been called Sports Classic or something similar. I don't care if it drops the GT3 moniker.

Love your posts.

Humility you can not teach. Separates good from great

Who cares what other people think? Get what you want and simply own it.

Agree with you, but it seems some people buy the GT3 to get noticed because of the wing and somehow think the Touring Package diminishes the size of their... wing.
