Default NA Spec 991.2 GT3 spotted in the US

Hopefully this isn't old news but I've seen my first NA spec 991.2 GT3 on the road today. I didn't think these made it to our shores yet? The car was seen at the Chic-Fil-A in St Petersburg FL about an hour ago. I must say they have great taste in food and cars

^I believe test mules.... there was also a sighting in the west coast of South FL a little while ago of these preproduction .2 3's. There is more than one in the wild.

Maybe test mule headed over to Sebring for laps...its super hot and muggy here in Tampa Central Fl now...so disgusting outside...98* a million % humidity. Maybe Porsche is doing final hot weather testing?

If someone know I can be at Sebring tomorrow in 1hr 30 min....with my DLSR!

I see a wart on the roof -- at least it's painted.

I believe this is a .1. I don't see the air ducts on the rear lid. Also, the wing isn't high enough.

Definitely a .2. Taillights, rear scoops, wing has vent on backside.

And it looks great. My concern was how would GR look with Satin Aluminum and PCCBs with the black accents and just perfect. This will be my build now. It was between this and Jet Black

Can't be real. It's being driven in the rain.

I still believe this is a .1. I cannot see the air ducts. Also, if I am not mistaken the .2 doesn't come with the wart/satelitte radio. It is now hidden in the body of the car.

Look closely, you can see the air ducts clearly.

The other dead giveaway is the door handles. No cutout circle for the handle assembly, just the handle itself.

This is 100% a .2 car.

Look closely. You'll see the scoop and the dent on the tail light.

Its a .2. Like someone already said the tail lights give it away. Also, the placement of the vent under the back of the spoiler. On the .1 that vent is just above the "Porsche GT3" on the break between the body and the bumper.

FWIW, while I was at the PEC in LA looking at the .2GT3, the Porsche representative was telling us that the satelitte nub was relocated to inside the car. Also, the air ducts are two separate ducts and not one long piece which this pictures seems to show. Finally, the side mirrors on the 2 have a black piece for the full lower half while the .1 has partial which this car has.

That said, since most of you feel it is a .2 I probably am mistaken.
