I had it very much stuck in my head what I wanted to pay...we were "only" off by $50k but I wasn't prepared to go higher.

I'll get one at some point...this one wasn't meant to be apparently.

Porsche is in the business of selling cars and AP is well aware of that...he’s been known to say what he needs to, to create the right amount of hype!

As much as I'm looking forward to my Touring I'd take a GT in a heart beat given the means, that V10! Just listen to this,

I have driven some of the "greatest" engines in the world. (360 stradale, 458, f12 many porsche GT3 versions, Lambo v10...) and IMO the 991.2 4.0 is the best. Not the most power or torque but the response, top end thrill and the flat 6 wail is epic. This is all opinion, but if I could have any engine in my sports car the 4.0 would be it.

What's he going to say?

The newest Porsche is always the best one.

Maybe considering cost, packaging, fuel economy the 4.0 in the .2 GT3 is the best, but even though I own a .2 GT3, there's no way the 4.0 is as great as the CGT's.

Love 275’s. There’s a local 275 GTB/4 (rare 4-cam) with an ever rarer Aluminum competition body. Unfortunately, it’s yellow... Must be worth quite a few millions...

I don't know CGT has the greatest engine.
but the 991 4.0 is FAR from being considered great let alone greatest.
why ppl trust AP is really beyond me.
we manufacture a lot of stuff you all use on a daily basis. and if you trust what I tell you about the garbage we produced AND you use.... the world may literally come to a stand still.
trust no one.
buy the car and trust yourself
