This is not suprising. Are they taking the diffusers off? A very helpful Porsche engineer I spoke with during PCA breakfast said 911r guys were having dealers take them off prior to delivery of car. He said it was simple and easily accessible for removal.
I would really like to hear feedback on this.

Besides the rear diffuser concern thats seems to be easily fixed, the car is a step on from all previous gt3's in looks. Looks meaner than ever! Enjoy your car when you get it.

Looks like it hugs the ground and has a super aggressive look compared to previous gt3's ( this is my opinion )
This is the first time Ive seen this model 911 991.2 GT3 in person and wanted to give my personal opinion. No need to be confused STG.
I attended the PCA 8:30am VIP show before auto show opened to public at 10 am. For PCA members the satin sheet was NOT on car during presentation open to only 200 of us that had to register early.
What I can add is that all Porsche presenters/Porsche ambassadors were extremely informative. Most info can be found in previous you tube posts or publications. Although I must say is how helpful the Porsche represenitives were to me personally with my questions and even opened up a question and answer session to all PCA members later on after their presentation.
Porsche not only make fantastic and reliable cars that crush track records. Porsche really listens to their clients and buyers.
Kudos to Porsche.

Thanks

Regarding the GT3 allocations the spokesman said they keep that information guarded and pre allocation demand does have a influence on US allocations. After talking to him for a while he led me to believe there will be enough cars to cover allocations.
The GT2 on the other hand he clammed up and really didnt want to divulge any information. He did mention not to believe everything you see in spy shots, but obviously he could have been covering his a$$ if this info is highly confidential. Im sorry I cant help out more, but I am speaking the truth and dont want to give any info that I have not heard personally.
Maybe someone else can chime in if they have more information than I have, but I was there yesterday and 199 other PCA members heard exactly what I heard. Im sure they will back me up because I will only post infomation that is accurate or my Opinion.
Remember my opinion is not the gold standard. This site is to help people just like myself. If I do not have the answer you like or accurate enough for you, Im not going to make up an answer to please readers.
However I have responded to multiple PM's today with great questions. Please ask me in this thread, so everyone can see.
******* many have asked unfortunately I did not get any pictures of interior of car. When I was able to get inside I forgot to take pictures and just imagined it with engine started and a gear lever in my hand. Sorry in advance.

Great question STG. The matte black wing uprights really have a dramatic contrast on the guards red wing. The rear deck ramair intake scoops did seem to be the same color/finish. I wish I would have gotten a better close up picture of that. Maybe if someone goes to NY Autoshow this next week can take one a post it.

No dramatic changes to the interior compared to the 991.1 with the exception of:
-The NAV display screen is now larger with no visible bezel. See any 991.2/981.2 car on the dealer lot for comparision. It's the same stack.
-The alacantara seat cushions for the buckets now have that red stripe motif.

Here is another shot of the underbody diffuser

You still get most of your rear downforce from the new higher rear wing, so I feel it's safe to drive the .2 GT3 without the rear diffuser on regular roads, but I would still put the rear diffuser back on for track work.
