I actually wished I had a bigger wing.

I'm in the same boat. I was looking for a 992 @ sticker but i have given up. So now i'm torn between wing 991.2 or touring.

I had a winged gt3 and the wing was the only aspect of it I did not love (oh and the lack of buckets). I appreciate the reasoning for it but as I don’t track my cars the use is lost on me but I had to experience the 9k NA engine (truly loved it).

I sold the car to make garage space and at times I regret the sale but for now I’ll patiently wait for the touring prices to come down/correct themselves.

I like the idea of the performance from the 992 touring but prefer the cleaner lines of the 991.2.

What is your budget for a nice touring? I have a friend who might part with his.

Racecar = wing
GT3 = racecar
Therefore GT3 must have wing!

A lot of people love the wing and it's not just GT3 owners.

For those that feel this way, there is the GT3. For those that don't, there is the GT3 Touring. Only a sith deals in absolutes.

What's next? the GT3 Macan, GT3 Cayenne? The hatchback can go up at speed and provide some additional Aero.

How about a 4 door GT3 Touring sedan?

Or God forbid a Touring GT3 RS.

The GT3 should be "absolute", I'm with the Sith on this one!

I'm hoping for a "winged" ST!!! (and no rear seats)

Yeah, but GT3 isn’t a race car.

There is a Touring GT3 RS, it's called a 911R.

Huh, why didn't Porsche call it a 911 GT3-R then?

Ah yes, the slippery slope argument which has no basis in reality. Are you saying the Touring isn't a 911? If not, then why bother bringing up other models. You almost certainly know of the Group GT3 category, so obviously a Macan or Cayenne GT3 would be impossible. "God forbid" there are people with different tastes and opinions than you and speak with their wallets and pay a premium to get what they want!
