I'm usually a firm believer of the golden rule. I might be bending the rule a bit here.

You say your family owns a large Porsche center in LA and you post a pic with AutoGallery plates, a dealership that seems to relish in market adjustments and, I have to shrug. Your comment that this GT3 is "worthy to share" infers others are not worthy and just makes me scratch my head at the elitism you're conveying. It strikes me that GT3 owners and 918 owners I've recently met have all come across as being down to earth. And, I'm not going to go into the the suggestion that the 2014s are any less imbued with quality than the 2015s as Mike brought up.

I just have to ask because, nothing wrong with the duck tail, not my cup of tea but, what the heck happened to your air intake? That can't be good.

FYI i know a company developing a wing for a Porsche Dealer in southern Cali, Cough * cough* . That has same duck tail design but saving the intake . Maybe they changed the style XD . I like the intake bump. and wing but to each his own.

At the moment im trying ro get a gt3 cup decklid and wing to be swap able with the stock decklid/wing. So i like alot of wing

It's my humble opinion but it would not be a GT3 without the wing. Aside from the aesthetic, it loses some of the true characteristic of a GT3. Don't get me wrong, it looks great, but more as a glorified GTS than a GT3. Now he needs to debadge it. :P

Dan you should feel honored after all these years he has finally ready to announce himself to Rennlist.....maybe now he will share all of his inside information with us.....certainly with his family owning such a dealership he will also be getting one of the first West Coast RS's.....

I wonder what his relationship is to Harrison Gray or Tony Schwartz?

Funny this is what makes the 991 gt3 owners upset.

Don't worry guys.. you can get back to talking about delivery times, options, and speculation on new models and the "last real gt3" soon.

At least he is using it. How many of your cars will make it to the sale block with less than 10k miles?

I like it, there appears to be an air intake on the lid, right down the center.

overly harsh response... especially from dan (who is being bad) LOL... the guy is just saying that he finally feels comfortable sharing his car, not that others aren't worthy. please treat him like an enthusiastic gearhead like the rest of us. I happen to like the mods to his car...

I'm really interested in understanding what was involved in making the switch... straight swap of stock parts or something more?

I don't get the sense that anyone is upset. The OP shared a car and comments that raise legitimate questions (so far, unanswered) and some are expressing their opinions about the look; a risk one takes when posting on a forum with opinionated folks. Personally, I think the look is fine if that's what one wants, but it wouldn't be my choice, and as I said it does raise questions.

Respectfully, your own comments come across with more sarcasm than most of the others I've read here.

Yeah, I regret posting my thoughts. If you don't have anything nice to say...

I hope OP enjoys his car.

Dan's alter ego (the one who only speaks up in paranthesis) is about the funniest character on this forum. do you ever let him drive the gt3 Dan?

Definitely unique and I commend on making it your own but I think the 991 Gt3 has the best looking factory wing out there
