i really don't care for the poll. I want something confirmed from a cleaning lady or a Porsche official if its Paris or Geneva and if its 3.8 or 4.0. I have a GT350 in transit and should arrive tomorrow. If the 991.2 coming out in Paris then i will skip the GT350 and just order my GT3. If its Geneva then i will buy the GT350 and enjoy it this season until the GT3 gets delivered end of 2017.
Drive it like you stole it!
When done, buy gt3! Everyone that wants one gets one.
Problem is, everyone wants it right away.
That's why I buy used.
Might pick up a nice 991gt3rs when they are $150k.

Most of them probably going to bubble wrap their 991.2 GT3 MT, and flip or hope for the bubble to keep growing.

I guarantee almost everyone who buys the 991.2 GT3 in manual will, like the GT4 owners I meet on track, use the auto blip downshift function (and rev hold up-shift function) on the circuit. Essentially they will remove 75% of the "skill" in driving a stick on the track and essentially the MT becomes a quasi PDK. But MT for kudos every time LOL!
If you are die hard MT guy buy a 964 or 993 G50 box car and REALLY row your own gears on the track...

If that's the case then just pick up a used GT3 991.2. They should be around $50k then.

Same. If I remember correct you have to slow the car down a bit more before dipping the clutch and changing down. You can turn it off on the GT4. Not sure if it affects other "sport" features...

The GT4 auto blip function is paired with cooling circuit logic, but that happens anyways under spirited driving, so it's essentially just auto blip controlled by the Sport button.
Porsche didn't rename the Sport button to something more specific with the GT4, so this creates confusion if people assume it also changes the throttle map like in the other 981 models.
2016-Cayman-GT4-Technik-Introduction.pdf;
The usual coolant temperature is 221° F (105° C) when the engine of the Cayman GT4 is at operating temperature; it is reduced to 185° F (85° C) during sporty driving and in Sport/Sport Plus mode by opening (energizing) the thermostat. This supports a performance-oriented driving style.
