Default sold my 991 GT3 and already missed it , any idea if manual gear box will be available

i got Mclaren 675LT


missing the sound engine , the mechanical feel
i don't think there is a car that similar to the GT3
i can't put my finger why it's so special.
i couldn't found any GT3RS.

GT3 with Manual transmission
i think will be prefect car.
the next GT3 will offer that?

Many have confirmed a manual will be available as an option. Even Panorama. Scratch that...the cleaning lady confirmed!

You'll probably wait a while for the next GT3 - I would guess at least 18 months until delivery. You could probably sell the 675LT for what you purchased it for and find the right GT3.

Your previous posts made everyone think you disliked the GT3.

How can you not like the 675 LT?

I told you buy the F12 but you did not listen. If you want ship the 675 to me and in return i'll ship you my GT3

I think that is an even swap

Drove the 650S and 570S. Both are badass cars but the McLarens don't have quite the character of the GT3....they are much faster though.

A friend of mine has a 458, 997tt, a few cup cars and others.

He loves the F12.

I can't see anyone not loving that car.

You are experiencing GT3 Withdrawal Syndrome. This is a rare affliction that can only be cured by your local Porsche dealer.

They will know what to do.

yeah x2 on the pics!

I am curious to hear your thoughts comparing both of these cars. This is definitely an apples to orange comparison, but something interesting to explore none the less!

I hope so

but in general putting a deposit
on something that might be produced
implies that it also might not be produced

for this reason your deposit I am sure is refundable

fingers crossed

i'm not complain about the 675LT
it's just different car
i didn't really tried it yet , i'm in break in until 650 miles
Mclaren user manual advice not to run the engine over 4000 rpm.

what i like on the GT3 more then the 675LT:
NA engine , i think i will always prefer the sound and throttle response more then turbo engines , plus 9000 rpm it's amazing.

driving position , i prefer the GT3
the 675LT come with racing seats , you sear very low
i will ask the dealer to lift the seat up and see.

in general i think i need both , the GT3 and the 675LT
each car special in specific areas.

it's very easy to drive fast in the 675LT because huge amount of torque compare to the GT3 (or compare to anything)

i like the 675LT steering feel more then GT3
i like the handling and the "turn in" more then the GT3

this car draw too much attention , people asking me if they can take pictures
and drive near me all the time
i don't like it , but i can understand that , it's very unique car.

i have a bad habit/personalty ,
every time when i'm buying something , i'm starting to think what will replace it.
when i got the GT3 , at the same day i thought to my self
what will be the next car.
it's very stupid.
with the 675LT , this is not happen
i can't think on any future replacement .
i prefer the 675LT over the GT3RS , Huracan , 488GTB

me too , i put deposit for the next GT3
7 people already on the list before me
it's a small dealer , so i'm not sure if they will have one for me.
the bigger dealers don't want to take deposit , they told me they will sell it for "market price".
i don't like it , Porsche don't have "loyalty" to their customers
unless you are 918 owner.

if i could afford it
i think 997 GT3 4.0
it's the prefect car
the last of the real driver cars.
i prefer it then 911R or 991 GT3RS or pretty much any other car.


Quick Reply: sold my 991 GT3 and already missed it , any idea if manual gear box will be available
