i'm not complain about the 675LT
it's just different car
i didn't really tried it yet , i'm in break in until 650 miles
Mclaren user manual advice not to run the engine over 4000 rpm.
what i like on the GT3 more then the 675LT:
NA engine , i think i will always prefer the sound and throttle response more then turbo engines , plus 9000 rpm it's amazing.
driving position , i prefer the GT3
the 675LT come with racing seats , you sear very low
i will ask the dealer to lift the seat up and see.
in general i think i need both , the GT3 and the 675LT
each car special in specific areas.
it's very easy to drive fast in the 675LT because huge amount of torque compare to the GT3 (or compare to anything)
i like the 675LT steering feel more then GT3
i like the handling and the "turn in" more then the GT3
this car draw too much attention , people asking me if they can take pictures
and drive near me all the time
i don't like it , but i can understand that , it's very unique car.
i have a bad habit/personalty ,
every time when i'm buying something , i'm starting to think what will replace it.
when i got the GT3 , at the same day i thought to my self
what will be the next car.
it's very stupid.
with the 675LT , this is not happen
i can't think on any future replacement .
i prefer the 675LT over the GT3RS , Huracan , 488GTB

me too , i put deposit for the next GT3
7 people already on the list before me
it's a small dealer , so i'm not sure if they will have one for me.
the bigger dealers don't want to take deposit , they told me they will sell it for "market price".
i don't like it , Porsche don't have "loyalty" to their customers
unless you are 918 owner.
if i could afford it
i think 997 GT3 4.0
it's the prefect car
the last of the real driver cars.
i prefer it then 911R or 991 GT3RS or pretty much any other car.

It's not Porsche that doesn't have loyalty to their customers. They have a ton. It's the DEALERS that don't have loyalty, they only see $ sign.

i got Mclaren 675LT missing the sound engine , the mechanical feel i don't think there is a car that similar to the GT3 i can't put my finger why it's so special. i couldn't found any GT3RS. GT3 with Manual transmission i think will be prefect car. the next GT3 will offer that? Rennlist it's the best community / forum thanks
911 Ask for motorsports dept. they'll save you
I absolutely love my GT3! No Substitute!

Porsche is not even close to meeting market demand. I understand the build one less than market demands, it's the Ferrari strategy. However, it's obvious there are a lot more buyers for these cars than what Porsche is willing to build. Time will tell if this will have disastrous effects on the customer loyalty but making your customers work so hard to spend $200k is absolutely absurd -- waiting lists, dealer shenanigans, customers being taken of lists, etc. If I were these customers and had $200k, I would go to another manufacture and this is coming from a guy who owns $100k in Porsche stock.

458 yes , love it !
488 i didn't even saw one in person.
i thought to find 458 Speciale to replace the GT3
both hard core and high rev cars.
but i prefer the 675LT over the Speciale , i not sure why
maybe because it's newer technology.
i can't put my finger why.
now i'm looking for Daily car
for the family i have SUV
i need car for myself.
i drive less then 5000 miles per year.
i live in a bad quality road area (Houston)
those are the cars i think of:
1. GT4 , exactly what i love in a car
small , lightweight , manual transmission , i think Porsche it's the best in putting the power to the ground better then any other brands
i love Porsche!
Cons: stiff ride , no lift system , lack of engine power compare to other
2. M4 , don't like the engine sound
like the look and the performance
3. GT350 , mainly the engine
don't like American cars built quality so much
4. Corvette Grand Sport , V8 and performance
look great , no lift system? (i'm not sure)
5. Audi S6 , love the Turbo V8 sound and torque
air suspension , in general i love everything in this car
mixed of comfort the performance
the only Cons , Audi will replace it with lighter and more technology
model next year.
i always thought that i hate Audi , because it's very heavy car
AWD system that not like to "play" , numb steering
but for my surprise i really like it.
6. the new coming Cayman S , this was my first choice
always like the Cayman more then 911 , everything i drove it i wish Porsche will put a bigger engine , when i drove the Cayman R i felt like it's a baby Ferrari 458.
but now they put 4 cylinder engine ?! WTF
completely turn me off.
what do you think guys?
maybe you have more ideas

Same here. I ended up passing on the 991.1 GT3 but if the rumors are true and the 1.2GT3 will have a proper 6MT option, I'll take one. I have been #1 at two dealers for over a year. Praying one will get me an allocation while the PTS window is open...and that PAG won't force sofas upon buyers for the first year of production like they did with the 991.1.
