I have been on the .2 configurator for ever since launch and have daydreamed about dealer calling me for an allocation.

Good thing I went to the track today in my .1 and realized that it is fast enough and loud enough for
me! Looks like I’ll be keeping it for a long while now (which isn’t a bad thing)!

Seems like many that have .1 will sit out since .2's usually not that big of a leap. Seems like even more new guys interested in GT's now more than ever though.

I think higher MSRP's combined with ADM's are turning some off. A GT3 should be a $150K-$160K car. They're pushing the $$ too high. Next gen, builds will touch $200K+

Car sales will struggle more in the next 5 years than previous 5.

I think this is being driven by the 992 as a MY19 car. They can't have a 991.2GT3 as a 2019 if a 992 is a 2019 right? I also understand that the 992 production is now later than previously planned and will start being produced fall of this year as a 2019.

I think a lot of lists depending on the dealer just transfer over. I know that would be the case with one of my dealerships.

the "lists" of 992.1 GT3 might thin out if, and only if, the 992.1 GT3 PDK only and boosted....time will tell.

the US market love manual sports cars more so than ROW but maybe 50:50 on NA vs turbo

Well, I just got an email from my dealer that they have officially received word from PCNA today that all MY 2019 GT3 and GT2RS will now be MY2018 because, wait for it..... "MY2019 will not be offered for these models"!

Hate to say I told you so, but go get whatever you can get your hands on right now! I am never selling my GT3! LOL!
Would you post the email so that we might get our own take? Tks.

If you have taken delivery of a 991.2 or have one on order, you should enjoy your car. Self inflicted worry or remorse will not add to your enjoyment of the car.There will always be the next great Porsche. I did hear something about 4.2 and 540 HP.

^ This. Seems like another effort to get buyers to act on high ADM cars. I heard the EXACT OPPOSITE at a dealer yesterday saying they were expecting MORE MY19 allocations. Hmm.

540HP--good likelihood.
4.2L--nahh, more likely 4L. doesn't make sense for P to put all the $$ into R&D into an engine that will not likely be seen in the 992 considering all the emission stuff going on in EU
