Porsche basically realizes we want a manual GT3 but refuse to put one in. Instead they make a limited car that enthusiasts most likely won't get a chance to own and charge a bundle for it.

Remove the radio, add pccb's, add lightweight battery and stick a manual in a GT3 and I bet you come within 25lbs of this car. I really hope the next GT3 is N/A and has a manual option. I bet it does because if this was the last N/A manual they would have said it and made a big deal out of it.

Not suggesting people who bought the 918s aren't purists, but that car could not be farther from a "purist" car if it tried with its electric motors, heavy batteries, etc...
So you have to buy a 918 to get the purist car.

911R $185K 4.0 manual, RWS, I assume normal LSD and 110lbs lighter than RS

Maybe it comes with enough options to somewhat justify the premium.

Thankfully they made me drive big downforce and PDK-S first..
I would have been all over this car not knowing how much I like PDKS, big rubber and downforce!!

Comes with PCCB - I guess this helps make the asking price a tad more reasonable (about same price as RS with PCCB, if one is inclined to have them).

Nice and stealth, but GT Silver will be even stealthier, imo.

so, same price at RS, but no leather or alcantara panels/roof lining. funny how porsche deletes the big wing, charge $3k for flywheel, delete radio/ac, and put on some ugly stripes. almost as bad as the lipstick red on 2010rs.

It's interesting how AP talks about ECOTY. I guarantee you they were dumbfounded at Porsche when the GT4 won EVO car Of the Year ahead of cars that cost 4 times more! They finally realized it's not always about HP and speed. Well done! I hope this trend continues at Porsche.
