I'll bet PAG is watching take rates on the GT3 extremely closely. If those are high enough then why not? The transmission's on the shelf and the manual GT3 has been received incredibly well by reviewers despite the fact that it's "slower". The outstanding question seems the true extent of demand...

VW says make money, we need lots of money. Sell anything you can. All Porsche needs to is keep the demand fever high by trickling out the "product" in whatever configuration necessary to generate sales. MT RS will be APs favorite within a year.

As you well know, there's a little race this weekend in western
France. Sadly, most people on this forum appear to care more
about having something that others can only covet or aesthetic
options that do not impact how their car drives. Things were
different only a few years ago - dilution.

camera time. I trust you are a member of the Screen
Actors Guild, right! Robert Duvall told Sccchiii he might
be interested in the lead role of Ferdinand Piëch! It's all
very exciting...we are going to Hollywood!

object to our discussion. I might have to stop posting.

inquiry on the 991.2 ST 4.2 because 'Chaosoul'
finds Sgroer (post #707), Werner-E (post #718),
Lnc993 (post #223) & mcsmcs1 (post #728) on
the topic of PTS objectionable? Or is it that YOU
think Chaosoul doesn't like my responses to these
PTS questions & thus is staying away?
And this brings us to a more fundamental question.
Who is going to decide who should post on any given
thread here on Rennlist? Is it you, Throttlesteerer?
Are you the self-appointed arbiter in these matters?
*****
Ask Throttlesteerer if this question is allowed!

I can't complain, the bride has moved the wedding date twice to accommodate (1) Car Week and (2) Le Mans (wedding is Friday; many attendees are hanging around to watch the full 24 together over the weekend).
Rather worryingly, John Hindhaugh has hinted during several recent MWM shows, as well as their Road To Le Mans preview show, that Porsche may exit LMP1 after 2017. I fear this recent tweet from John Dagys may reference the same topic:
I have a friend whose honeymoon falls over this week and weekend; they are attending the race, and inquired re: Porsche Customer Hospitality. Unfortunately, Porsche is not offering customer hospitality for 2017, here are the details for last year: http://www.porsche.com/specials/en/m...st/lemans2016/
Further, I have another friend who I met at Porsche's Sebring hospitality who is attending this year; he has Ligier hospitality.

Oh wow, now LeMans. Really?
Is there an agenda here?
Sure not to respectfully leave this a Q&A thread around the threadstarter/owner.
(or will this lead to ask him about the result of the coming race)
I think the personalities of certain people have become clear.
Will stop to argue about this now.

Throttlesteerer out.

The very first one resides in Germany. I spent the last 5 days with the owner in South of France.
He was surprised to found out there were more 918 painted in Sports Classic Grey when I mentioned one of my friends just bought one and showed him the pic.
Needless to say, initially Porsche had promised him that his car was one of one in that colour.

But for the wedding of two good friends, I would be there this year! Driving up to Door County, WI from Chicago on Thursday. Hoping to recreate the avatar or member "fskof," as well.

Wedding in Egg Harbor; viewing at a family house of the groom's. There will be several GT3s present (or at least owners), and a new Ford GT (if he drives it up).
