Now I'm really going to be pissed if I don't get an allocation.

So it's true.. they DO HAVE CHROME WINDOWS!!!!! Argh! Amazing... I want this.. but with a wing

(Just kidding.. always want what we can't have syndrome)

Anyone else find that mule ugly as hell??

I'm a little confused at the high level of interest. Are people saying they really want:

1. A GT3 without a wing. Why? Is the wing look that ugly?
2. A GT3 with backseats. Why? For little children? If yes, is this really the car that is missing from your family and requires a back seat?
3. 911R, but called something other than a 911R. Why? Same reasons as #1 and #2.

I guess to be more succinct, should there be 50 911s that fit every single circumstance?

I'm trying to understand the void in Porsches lineup that the Touring Package fills. Or the Speedster. Or the Sport Classic. I feel like this is a Cheesecake Factory menu.

If it comes with chrome window surrounds, I'M OUT!

I freaking love it and I'd spec it in black just like that car. God I hope it's for real. Just pinged my SA and got somewhat encouraging news allocation wise. Crossing my fingers.

Archimedes

No, but it would be nice if Porsche offered a high HP, sport suspended, 6 speed manual 911 with no big wing on the back. Basically, something like the 911R. Maybe they could drop the 911 GTS Targa 4S or one of the rolling purse 911 Cab variants to make room for a proper road sports car.

Whats not to love? Things I want in a car (and I imagine many others too):

NA - Check
Manual - Check
Performance - Check
Looks great - Check
Can occasionally haul the family - Check for me as kids are young

Currently my fun car (GT4) is only ever enjoyed by me, I want to have a car thats fun for me, but can also occasionally be enjoyed by the family as well.

I would actually flip the question the other way - who wants a sh*tty daily driver? Why not have an awesome daily driver which can also provide all the driving thrills you could ever want?

Isn't that 992 mule?

I am desparate for this car. I was planning on specing it like a 997 Clubsport (chalk with dark gray stripes) but have decided to go with Guards Red as a matching pair to my 964 RS. For me, it's Porsche's spiritual ancestor to this car. Plus I think they will look fantatstic together. January cannot come fast enough. Will keep my white PDK GT3.2 to have the best of both worlds.

Porsche has created their own mess--other companies call many of these things "trim levels" or are simply options. There is no good reason that a Carrera is a different model from a Carrera S. Oh, then C4 and C4S. Oh, then GTS (and GTS4). And Targa (roof option) is a whole different "model". And Cab? All the previous variations times that. It's dumb.

How many different Camaro or Mustang variants are there? Same thing. It feels like an inside joke at this point.

Porsche's lineup: 911, 718, Cayanne, Panamera, Macan. 918 I suppose counts. They do not have 60 different models.

If the GTS had a detuned NA 4.0 engine in it and the 6-speed that would have been perfect. Many of us would never have wandered into the GT3 forum if they didn't take the NA engine away from us.

In my case, I want that screaming 9000rpm 500HP engine + PDK-S in a 911 Carrera.

I find the 991.2 turbo Carreras [and even my 997.2 turbo] a little too refined and sensible, although very very quick.

I'll be happy with the 991.2 GT3 for sure though, with the wing and without back seats.

We just need confirmation they don't neuter the engine
