Maybe the Germans are blocked off; but, their neighbors in Denmark can still do the deed.

Be interesting to see if this amounts to anything, though.

This. Hell, the exact same thing happens with the 991 GT3 RS.

The same thing was said about the 991.1 GT3 RS though.

And yet we still had a second wave of regular allocations.

Literally the exact same thing.

Sorry for not reading all 355 pages (!) but anyone know why there have been no reviews yet? Is it me or is it taking longer than normal?

Under an NDA/embargo until whenever Porsche tells them it can be released.

I think they're waiting until after the Frankfurt show.

Have you read this one? "By one of the most influential automotive journalists in the world," according to the magazine he writes for.

I know he's not doing the driving; but, the guys been around cars a lot.

Sounds like it will live up to the hype and expectations.

"Full throttle in second gear, wah-wah-wah up to 7,000 rpm, 200 rpm still to go to the limiter. Repeat the action in third, which produces a hard kick in the butt followed by an everlasting fast-forward thrust. Then the car is into fourth very briefly before it finally runs out of increasingly narrow road. Now hard on the brakes, Braun holds them until the digital speedo reads a socially and legally acceptable 75 mph. What in the world was that? Less than nine seconds from zero to 125mph? This is truly unreal stuff."

Drive safe,
GT3RS-Fan1
