Default Count me in too!

First post...been lurking for a while. Count me in the "deposit down" crew for the 991 GT3. It'll be my first Porsche as well, making the transition from BMW ///M. While I love my F10 M5 (as well as my old E60 M5) I'm really looking forward to getting back in a NA powered car that revs freely to 9K.

Looking forward to learning from all of the folks on the board.

Congrats! What are the specs?

Seems Porsche is achieving it's goal of attracting new customers.

Thanks guys. I'd agree @RayDBonz, wider base...but in my case I just think it is a confluence of age, buying power, and the fact that the 991 is a new car. If I was a bit older I'd likely be in a 997 GT3 or earlier.

Build as it stands now:
White
4-way seats w/white contrast stitching
Grey seat belts
LED w/PDLS+
ER fuel tank
Light design
PCM w/NAV
Sport Chrono in white
Mobile phone prep
Sound package +

May go Agate w/Red stitching, or white w/red. Still have sometime to decide

Congrats! I can't wait - next year is a WAYS off

I have discussed the PCCB at length with RobSpyder. Conventional wisdom seems to be that PCCB are a no-no if you plan on tracking. While I do like the initial bite they offer, I am going to pass as well. This will be my track car/DD. Hope I am making the right call too.
