Just face the fact your car is now old technology and that the world is leaving you behind and let the rest of us that don't get our entire identity defined by a car have a discussion not clogged up by your insecurity.

Your posts are hilarious. You're so threatened by this car with every one of your posts it's kind of sad. As the 991 GT3s fly by you on track, just keep telling yourself you're better because you don't have a screen.

I believe there are zero GT3's (that we know of) that have lapped faster than Peter on similar tires at his home track.
Easy to talk trash, much harder to follow up on it. Let's see you pass him in a PDK GT3 before you act like it's a given.... Any of you pdk guys for that matter, let's see some videos. Lap times, ANYTHING.
But I'm sure I'll get what I always get, crickets, from the people who talk evolution and performance. Nothing to show for it...... I honestly don't get that. Many guys driving 20 seconds slower per lap than what their car will do, saying they just do it for fun, yet talking about max performance like they actually plan to use it......

This is the hilarious post as most of the PDK pushers still haven't posted any videos of them driving fast on the track. So actually going fast is a pipe dream and Porsche is the Sandman.

Feel free to put your money where your mouth is buddy!
Ps. You hit the nail on the head with the statement in bold! Rushman in a nutshell it would seem...

LMAO!
I'll take a 4.0RS as old technology any day! (Heck, last time I checked a '73RS was in high demand.)
Don't feed the trolls (I know), but COME ON!

I was hoping this thread would not degenerate into another 991 GT3 bashing thread but it looks like it will head in that direction too...
The intent was to have one place with all available info as a reference. As it stands right now all we have in the marketing info along with some poor interviews (WSJ for example), but there was useful info to be gleemed from them all abeit little.
The car is new, it's different . It takes away nothing from the previous generation which are all great cars in their own right.
Let's wait for the test drives and judge the car on it's own merit instead of bashing it based on speculation.

I don't really care if the 991 GT3 or its RS sibling is faster. It will be. The 991 cup will of course be paddles and faster than my 997 cup. (I'm told the new cup was nearly a full second quicker rolled off the truck untouched than a fully set up 997).
However, the last car on this list is my favorite to drive. It is 40 years old. It is nearly the slowest. Technology will march forward and the cars will get quicker, but not necessarily any more fun. The 4.0 is a keeper for the same reason the 73 is a keeper. That doesn't mean the 991 GT3 won't be a good car. I suspect it will be great. I also suspect it won't give you the same connection and mechanical purity as some of its more esteemed predecessors.
But in the interests of full disclosure, I have a deposit on a 991RS just in case. That said, it is highly unlikely to displace either of my existing RS's, regardless of a few seconds on the Nurburgring.

Can the new GT3 provide enough of a connection to the driver yet still be usable in a way my 964 cannot? Hope so.

I want to see some group testing of the car against the 458 and the 12C. With a sub-7:30 ring time, it should be faster than the Ferrari (7:33) and competitive with the McLaren (7:28).
