Saw one at my Detailer the other day and one at the Dealer. The interior is beautiful I will give it that. I like the car in black but in silver it did not look as good. There is something proportionally wrong with the car for some reason. I just do not know what it is. The more I looked at it the more I did not like it. But at first take I really liked it- weird
I cant wait for by 991.2 GT3 manual to arrive. Hoping it will live up to the hype! I miss shifting, should be exciting.

Thanks for reading, everybody.
A little bit of inside information for the Rennlisters... I absolutely HATED the alignment settings on the GT3 we got for testing. The nose was very unhappy under braking and that's what cost it the lap time vs. the Camaro.
I think a re-prepped GT3.2 manual would have finished higher.
And PDK would have been worth a few tenths at most. There aren't very many shifts to be done at NCM West and I showed no mechanical sympathy to the test car.

Good info.
That's what can happen at these Comparison tests. That why some car MFGs send an Engineer to make sure everything is optimized

Did the car feel "fidgety" on the road test component? and do you know where the last alignment was done? Over here the Porsche dealers have specific Porsche approved alignment equipment, thus if it was done by Porsche it should be spot on as a street spec. If done by an indy it may be out for many reasons including simple ones such as they dialled up the spec for a .1 car (this has happened to me). My 2C
