Not sure this has been highlighted so far but there is one small error in the configurator.

Under the Sport Chrono option it says - "Mode switch on the steering wheel for selecting the driving modes Normal, SPORT, SPORT PLUS and Individual".

There is no mode switch on the steering wheel. The PDK Sport button is still on the console. There is no Individual option. This was confirmed when I ordered my car yesterday.

^^ good to know. looks like a cut and paste from the 991.2 street Carrera's. In the pictures, clearly no ugly steering wheel dial.

Out of curiosity, how does interest seem to be from what you're hearing over there? Belgium? I forget. Any comments from your dealer? Crazy I'm sure as all over. GT mania has no borders.

He has five build slots for this year. Up until yesterday, only 4 taken. Then bam! 20+ phone calls. Sadly some from 3rd party dealers looking to buy a car and then on sell at over MSRP.

Will be nice to see some videos once some journalists get hold of the GT3. Chris Harris?? He's always so enthusiastic and fun to watch.

I'm a big fan of the clock. if that's all it costs, I'll probably get it.

Yes, nice to see the clock go back to its lower price. In fact a few options I noticed are lower, including the front lift which i think is almoat $1000 cheaper than it used to be. While the Msrp has increased, it looks like they are making some of the options more palatable

Does anyone have any pictures that compare the standard silver wheel to the optional aluminum wheel?

Edit: N/M, there's an entire thread devoted to it: https://rennlist.com/forums/991-gt3-...um-wheels.html

Yes, but it doesn't mean that a dealer can take unlimited orders. Whether it's a GT3 or GTS, dealers only get a certain number of allocations so that's all they can sell. Demand will still outstrip supply for the GT3.

Standard wheels are gloss Silver.

You can pay extra for the Satin finishes. Will work well on black, as the old gloss black ones showed water spots, scratches, etc. easily. A satin finish is more forgiving.

Satin Aluminum is what was standard on the Purple RS only.
Now optional on GT3.

Trakcar failed to add that it's also the fastest wheel....
