Gt3 Allocation ( Saw one today)

Waitlists have already started at some dealerships. I have a feeling the number of MSRP dealerships will be even lower next time around. It certainly decreased from 991.1 to 991.2. Problem is, some dealerships promise MSRP when you place your deposit to get on the list and then surprise you with ADM later on when an allocation shows up. I am passing on the 992 (and beyond). 991.2 6MT is everything I want in a GT3 and I have no interest in hybrid or turbo. But I agree it’s not too early for those wanting the 992 to start calling.

Totally agree and it appears at least from RL that WAY more folks were willing to pay ADMs for the .2 vs the .1 so why not. During the .1’s EVERYONE on here bashed ADMs and now many are justifying the ADMs they paid. The dealers are catching on to all the flippers. The more they charge the more they make and potential that deters the flipping or at least they get the profit over the flipper.

Being facetious. 997.2. Just pissed I can't find 991.2 MSRP or below deals for new, and now 992s are on the horizon. Maybe time to settle for one that someone else had first.

The rear and front of the 992 looks flat out ugly. No desire to get one - and I suspect many will feel the same. And on the horizon is still 2+ years away.

I agree. I also wonder how much more fun a manual GT3 would be for the street over the GT4. Need to drive one back to back. I mean obviously ~9000 RPM but the GT4 with a set of dundon headers is an impressive value for a car that's still very fun on the street. It seems that 997.2 GT3's may actually sell for more than the 991.1 GT3's now, assuming no PTS.
Granted, I like the GT3 look way better than the 981 but I am typically not staring at my car a lot =)

The feel, the looks, the power make a big difference between the two... but I would never have gotten the GT3 if it wasn't a manual - would have kept the GT4.

Having now owned both, the GT3 manual is just better in many different regards. The long gearing of 1-2 in the GT4 was frustrating. The GT4 was awesome at Sonoma, haven't gotten the GT3 on track yet.
