Default Where have the .2 GT3 owners gone?

Typical post

"I took delivery of my new .2 GT3 yesterday"

Then they vanish


No updates or owner reviews in sight ... why are they not sharing ?


Come on guys , throw us a bone , tell us somenews about how much you love your new car .

Post a story.

I bet they are busy driving the cars

Once I get my delivery too, even I will be away from the forums for few days as my only goal at that point will be to drive the car. I will do whatever I can do brake the car in (I forget is it 2000 miles or something along that for gt3)



They will be back, just give them few days. I can't wait to see some more pics etc

Maybe they don't like them....the disappointment so great , have to attend DPGOA (disappointed porsche GT owners anonymous).

That way, then both of them can commiserate accordingly.

They are absolutely surprised they have no back seat for the baby and are cleaning them to put them up for sale.

If you are coming from a 991.1 GT3/RS I bet you the differences will be there but not enough to get overly excited about.

Speaking of bubble wrap, on cars.com there's a 997 GT3 RS 4.0 for $750k with 15 miles on the clock.

They are probably too busy adding rear seats and removing the wing.

I have a good friend, former professional race car driver now in charge of rolling out new products for Porsche Canada. He was at Hockenheim 2 weeks ago, driving 991.2 GT3. He also drove many laps the same day in both 991.1 GT3 and 991.1 GT3 RS (both of which he has driven many times before, and he had previously said the RS was his favourite car). He told me the 991.2 GT3 was "astonishing". He said it was a "huge" step from the .1. To be clear: I am not likely a good enough driver to be able to tell the same kind of difference. But some of you probably are!

Nice Feedback! With a 12.3 second Ring improvement, it wasn't going to be about the same

Good to hear. Clearly he has the Credentials to make those comments.

Wasn't paying attn at the time - was the 997.2 GT3 considered a big upgrade (like this one) over the .1? Asked another way, how does the buzz about the .2 now compare to the buzz about the 997.2 GT3?


Quick Reply: Where have the .2 GT3 owners gone?
