Oh boy, now everyone will want WP because they can't get it. Maybe they'll at least make some pts in 2nd tranche.

I can't believe they consider it a separate car for some unpainted CF?!

I got my car and had a chance to put up some miles and I am blown away. What a gem of a car.
Will post a more in depth opinion shortly. I will be comparing it to my outgoing .2 gt3.

I think it's not like you say.

Chris is in the know, and I believe him. Good thing the guy who gave his allocation up to me so he could get WP didn't chat with him.

WP Is the option not the different car.

I can't believe it took me this long to notice, but, can someone take a peek at their car and confirm something for me?

Do you have "GT3 RS" embroidered in the rear center tunnel?

My 991.2 GT2 RS does. My 991.1 GT3 RS does. But my 991.2 GT3 RS has no embroidery in the rear center tunnel at all. In fact, it looks like the 997.x RS rear center tunnel -- simply carpet.

Thank you!
