Or else?
You only need X73 Sport Suspension and Sport Design steering wheel as options on the Boxster. Maybe Sport Exhaust (PSE).

No sooner than when the 991.2's drop. I'm pretty sure there will be a GT variant, or two, or three, or four. I mean, Porsche has proven that starting with the 996.

Did they offer a compensation package with time outstanding and the $10k voucher? Mike

Unbelievable. Looks like the compensation was to buy another car.

You're right, of course, about the previous models. But the 991.1 GT3 followed the 991.1 by about 2 years, so given that the 991.2 hasn't even been introduced yet I'll bet a 991.2 GT3 is probably 2 1/2 to 3 years away and who knows what it will be like or if Porsche will take a completely different direction with it. My own guess is that the current car will be the last NA GT model. Just speculating...

Just wanted to remind u in case u forget. Anyway that smilie face ie end of gt series I hope that's not the case. I be a happy camper if it all goes 110% positive for the owners. Pag's agnostic approach to the issues with mezger though minor sends me up the wall so hope u guys understand I'm abit reserved and pissed at the same time. If they take that motor and run it in races like the mezger- it's what I really want to keep the gt series alive. Mike

That's not what the smilie face meant at all; it was just reinforcing that I was speculating. I have no desire to see the GT series end, but things are changing even at the highest levels of racing; see F1.

One reason I bought the 991 GT3 now is that I think the high revving NA engine may be taken over by turbos and hybrids to meet future emission and fuel regulations and we may be seeing the last of a breed. I wanted a NA GT car before that happened. Like you, I'd love to see them race the 9A1 and hope they will. I understand how you feel.
