where you click at the bottom tabs under car for more info;
typical confusion of info on roll out ,
Any way I don't think this GTS is in the same league as the GT3
although one can get a 5 lug wheel, decent Bose Stereo, Mt, and other
option not available to the 3
will spec build to see how the prices compare ,
Thanks

Found it on the Configurator ( if you click all models) and yes no sport buckets as you as you stated , where I saw it posted was the promo page with Carmine Red Coupe show

In the french configurator, you have the choice to delete the rear seats.
I confess Carmine Red is gorgeous.
rest is a C2S with powerkit. usual interior gts package as seen in cayman & boxster. Definitely not the barbecue
monster league...

Is this still going on?
Brian said he was going to get a 7GT3. When he does, we may assume he will call it a GT3 because it is worthy of being called one having the race proven Metzger engine in the old 7GT3 Cup cars. So, he's turned this into a a dispute of whether the GT3 model ended with the 997 version in 2012.
He's basically making the same Jeremy Clarkson argument about Porsches in general. That is the 911 is a VW Beetle. He's driving a VW Carrera Beetle and so are GTS owners and GT3 owners, except for those who have GT3 997 and earlier as those owners are driving "real" GT3s. When the 991 GT3 Cup car starts using the 991 DFI engine, suspension, transmission, that's when the GT3 will deserve to be called a GT3, again. Never mind that the 991 GT3 out performs the 997 GT3

Now if someone like say, Mooty or another Rennlist member like Green or Silver Rules who has owned both said the 991 GT3 is not a GT3, we would sit up and take notice. Coming from Brian, we can enjoy a good chuckle and move on.

By the way, guess who is pissing on the Cheerios in that thread too....

More of the same over there. Frankly, who cares what he thinks. According to his sig, he's never owned an older GT3 or a 991 GT3 necessary to have a point of reference and basis for an educated opinion one way or another.

Steve Rance: "For me, The GT3 should offer the closest experience to driving a GT racing car on the road. That was what the GT3 was originally all about. Jumping out of a 996 cup and into a 996 RS, I was amazed at how close the driving experience was. The 997 can be made as similar to the 997 cup by a damper change. To me, it is the dynamic connection with it's motorsport stablemate that makes the GT3 so unique. Obviously, without shared hardware the association is impossible.
Guys who have never driven 911 GT racing cars have a unique chance to sample a big chunk of that experience with previous versions of the GT3. The new car - having driven one - feels nothing like a GT racing car. Fast and capable it may be but it is nothing like the experience.. Not only does it not feel like a 911 GT car, it doesn't actually feel like a 911. "

The 50th has a lot of frou-frou options some people such as myself don't like (and some people love) and only comes in limited colors to go along with a limited production run. From a performance, driving standpoint it's basically the same car.

How about Steve Rance - someone who actually races them?

Feel free to post the link. All I found him saying much about the GT3 was based upon one drive December 24, 2013.
