Hey everyone, I'm seeking feedback. I LOVE this community and all of the feedback opinions. I'm down to 2 difference 2018 GT3 models in manual. Disregard the price and mileage as I'm afraid of neither. To give some "Cliff Notes," the biggest difference between the two is the exterior color, the interior trim color/material, the style of the seats, the type of brakes, and the color of the rims. Which would you pick and why?

I picked the black one even though I am not a huge fan of the color. Black one is a good amount more expensive and doesn’t have PCCB unlike the Chalk car. Although I love PCCB’s and the one that has it costs less, the black one has <10% the mileage and buckets. Buckets is my #1 requirement for Porsche GT cars.

Chalk has a MSRP of ~177, Black ~169.

Chalk production date September 2018, Black November 2017 thus probably already out of warrantee period.

Why would anyone pay $50k over sticker for a 4 year old car? If that is the case, walk into any current Porsche dealer with a check for 50K over MSRP and you should get an early allocation for the next production cycle (after summer 2022).

I prefer the aesthetic of the 991.2. To the overarching theme of your logic about just buying new, I don't disagree. In the same breath, however, why pay that much over sticker for the new one? It's the same thing-ish, no?

Neither- life is better in color.

chalk, 30k cheaper, better brake, sofa seats are fine unless you plan to track & need 6 point harness

I'd get an overrev report on the chalk car before buying. I think that car needs to be vetted first. I'd personally go with the lower mileage car (substantial difference) - only wish it had ceramics but that can be overlooked. I see why they did standard brakes with the red interior trim - The interior of the black car is nice. The black car was on Bring a Trailer back in October and bid up to $183k with no sale.

What is this “bring a trailer back” event you mentioned? Agreed on red brakes/red interior though I’d be interested in PCCB. I wonder if the place selling the chalk knows how to pull a report like that….

Don’t currently track and don’t foresee more than 1-2 times a year, if that, regardless of the GT3 build. This will be a 2nd vehicle. My DD is a 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser.

Even if they don’t, make sure you have a PPI done at a shop that can and knows what they are looking for. A few hundred bucks can save you thousands in the future

That's a huge difference in mileage, the first 20k miles, when car feels nice and tight...

Chalk is a very special color until one day you wake up and look at it for what it is a shallow vapid neutral non-color and thereafter can't unlook that... the definition of eternal boredom

Black can be a pain but you get a full PPF and it will be beautiful and deep and easy to take care of...

Iron brakes vs. PCCBs, there are advantages and drawbacks to each, just make a choice and live with it. For $3.5k you can get an entire new set of brakes and pads vs. worrying about the % left on a pccb car with close to 20k miles...

Got to get the bucket seats on a GT car, no if's and's or but's about it... most important connection to car and otherwise...

red instruments I would have liked the regular color but the black red accents in the black one add a certain flair

most importantly just see how you feel when you walk towards and away from each, the one that tugs your heart strings more is the one to get and if neither do then just hold off a little longer

and yikes on the prices, maybe wait six months and see what happens ...
