another parts bin - with even less parts.

open words: i don´t understand why a open 911 can be something desirable. you have to bleed 911 to buy a 911 as cab.
so many better looking cabrios/roadster/etc exist out there. (f.e.: a Seven, Mono, Radical, Ultima Can Am, Formel cars,... )

but in 2018/2019 on the other hand. - Where could you get something as the speedster will be?
open, NA, MT(?),...

The mule doesn't appear to have an intake grill or ducts. So maybe those little exhaust tips are actually oversized.

GT3 with a stick and soft top sounds like the perfect car for a sunday drive IMO

Looks great, but probably twice of the cost of the upcoming 718 spyder. The 718 spyder looks alot more cohesive in design to me.

diff horses for diff course ..if you live surrounded by curvy-road canyons with 200 ft tall redwood groves like we here in the temperate SF Bay Area , imagine the aural experience of its 9000 redline GT motor at 50-90 mph in constant third gear on a Sunday morning in this one and only so far factory oem naturally aspirated 6MT full convertble GT3- series 911
unfortunately , this magical aligning means nearly all of these " 1948 " 70th anniv tributes will be hermetically sealed in dark corners literally and figuratively of its owners' passive longer term 10-25 year investments

Current availability structure for these cars makes them nothing more than curiosities to be discussed over a whiskey and cigar.

20-30 yrs from now the normally aspirated Carrera GT and the GT Speedster ( including the potential for a 992.1 or .2 version since we know there will likely be a na 992 GT3 at least for .1 ) and will be prized and priced as the last of the manual-transmissioned " analog -experience " supercar series and 911 series of the Porsche sports cars

Even if the 718 Spyder has a GT3 based engine will not be close to the performance of the Speedster if it has full GT3 drivetrain

R10? You mean R8?

Huracan has no soul or personality to me. It a rebranded r8

Turbo S is great in a straight line but sounds like a vacuum and is too “soft for me”, but it can take the kids in the back with is a big plus.

Performante Spyder and you have a solid point, but that has flappy paddles, like all the others you mentioned.

May I ask why you chose these two specifically?
Wouldnt the Touring fall into this category as it it quite rare also?

Also aren’t there many Porwche enthusiasts what don’t like convertibles?

I am not critising, just wondering as I can’t keep all the 991 GT cars long term as I want to try and grab a CGT. I am daily debating on which to let go down the line. All will be driven before one or possibly two are let go.

I am talking about " take it out 1-3x a year to a car show only " 911 values 30 yrs from now , where given two fairly similar chassis/engines, a GT Speedster will be worth more than a 911R coupe if looking historically at 356s today " because SPEEDSTER " badge !

the opposite is true for " everyday " 911s where values of 1983-on 911s are higher for coupes than cabs because of the former's pure iconic side profile ( and also because the cab top's profile up and esp down looked like *%#^ ! before the 991 )
