But...the LWB's look awesome. That does count.

Also funny to watch newbies get in passenger side and smash there a**crack directly on lower right edge of seat and hit tail bone while trying to fall in seat. Never gets old...poor seat gets punished by asscracks

It's been there a while - probably has some negotiation room. One of the best priced ones around I think.
Fly down and drive it home!

Second link worked for me. Seems reasonable if you like the color. If Dr Bill thinks they will drop the price, even better. I cannot drive mine without it significantly improving my mood...even if I am already in a really good mood!

I know. I have LWB's and it took some time behind the wheel before I finally found the right combo. What I meant was there is no reclining adjustability, thus might be uncomfortable for some.

Another Atlanta dealer will have a great blue 2015 with buckets very soon.

Buckets are definitely not for everyone, but my GT cars have to have them and are a MUST HAVE option.

a brief case, yes
a suit case, no; unless you only packed lingerie

If I was looking for a combo street/track car right now, I would lease a no option (other than RWS) 2017 C2S. View it as a rent a race car program - the new C2S is only 50 lbs heavier than the 991 GT3 and I suspect the steering with RWS is better than the 991 GT3 as it keeps getting improved.

Pretty good deal to have a car you can beat on for $1000/month and hand it back in 2 years for the next GT2/GT3.

What happens if something goes wrong on the track? Would warranty cover it?

I'd recommend a lift in a place like Portland unless you only drive pre-approved routes and do not plan to deviate or only go to/from the tracks.

mine is at the dealership getting a new engine, 2015 white no lwb, it'll be up for sale when I get it back. PM me and I can give you details if interested. Don't know when I'll get it back, hopefully by the end of the month.

Agree, I have them as well and the second day I drove for a lengthy period and my back was killing, but then I adjusted the way I sat and haven't had a problem with my back since then so I guess if you can find your comfort zone you could be all set.
