You mean an R isn't worth $450K more than a manual GTS??
Can 95% of drivers even extract anymore performance from an R?
Oh, the R is a "drivers car". That's until the next "drivers car" comes out. Marketing at its finest.

The R is marketed as a Drivers Car but clearly it is just a collectors car that has lined the 1% and infuriated the other 99% ... Yes, indeed marketing is a very powerful tool. Porsche never actually expected the R to accumulate any real miles or be used, let's be honest here.

A gt3 whiteout a wing is not a gt3 buy a GTS...all this thread for a wing or not...the most important is the performance of this car, the feeling, the engine, the torque, the sound for me is the basis.And with a 3.8 or a 4.0 really important? i'm sure its a very nice car no doubt on this. Happy new year rennlisters

How many iterations of the 911 are out there? Too many! It's like reinventing the wheel each time and it worked. Genius! But why did PAG start producing street GT cars and why did they give it a wing? So they can remove it now,slap a GT3 badge on it and call it " street friendly ",all because it comes with a manual?! It's retarded. They're not that stupid. In my view,you want fastest and safest you buy pdk,you want fun and involvement you buy manual,it's that simple. In good driver's hands the gap between pdk and manual will be so small,it's not even funny,you'll see...
The R is the beginning of a different segment part of the GT department,announced by AP a while ago(for those paying attention). That segment will fill other desires that a GT badged car can't fill : wing delete,manual,cheaper,higher production numbers etc. But it won't wear a GT3 badge on the back. Great,more iterations!
Don't even get me started on the stripes : they belong to the R. They might be available to order at some point through your parts department,but they certainly won't be offered by PAG for the new GT3!

Wouldn't it be nice to know how many are actually stored vs driven?

The wing itself does not make it a GT3 - all of the other things do... The 9K redline, the feel, the sound, etc. I had a GTS; it was a great car. IMHO, it's no GT3. Personally, I would like a GT3 without a wing just to be a little more discreet. Leave everything else alone; just delete the wing. (add the deffuser if necessary)
