So it is with every product you buy and don't use...

There will be more people selling their 991.1 GT3 if they still have the original engine in it. Just not worth the risk of paying $70K out of your pocket in Porsche's expense in their flaw engine design. Unless they extend another 10yrs engine warranty but that won't happen.

I went from a 992 T manual to a 991.2 gt3 manual , personally I’d look for a manual .2 , they’re out there. Of course my argument goes out the window as I than proceeded trade that car in for .2 3rs which is a pdk . Point is you’re going to have a more solid car with a .2 gt3 , plus in my opinion I think looks better than the .1’s
