Exactly, the OP can get a .2 GT3, but he needs to understand that a non-vip customer isn't going to get a .2 GT3 right as the car starts production. It will be a two year production run, and if he puts down deposits at many places, he has a good chance of getting a .2 GT3 in the last 6 months of .2 production, which is still 18 months before the 992 GT3 starts production, and if he's not a VIP he wouldn't be getting the 992 car in the first year anyway.
Basically anyway you slice it, you gotta wait a least a year if not 18 months.

I think the generations are on a 7-year cycle. So if 991.1 GT3 was MY2014, then 992.1 GT3 should be MY2021 (coming in Fall 2020) and 992.2 GT3 for MY2025 (Fall 2024)...

Find me a dealer in the Western U.S. that's even accepting deposits on a .2 GT3 at this point. I've contacted all of them and I can count on one hand how many were accepting deposits and every one of those said 'but you have zero chance of getting a car', so save your money. Oh and most added, 'and if you did it would be priced above MSRP'. I've yet to find a single dealer in the Western U.S. whose list isn't 4-5x the number of slots they expect to receive. Obviously that could change as people drop off, but right now nobody is accepting deposits anymore.

A lot of these "I want it now" threads remind me of today's youth and their perceived needs. They don't want to put in the time, expect everybody to cater to them and then complain why they are not as important to others as they think they should be. They will come up with all kinds of arguments why they should be put ahead in line in front of those that have played the game by the rules and waited their time. So they go online and vent hoping to find support for their position and a way to fulfill their "Instant Gratification". Most of the time the subject matter at hand is not researched because they are so used to just posting/asking online since their own time is so valuable.

There are nuggets to be found in the midwest, south, and east coast if you spend enough time calling and are clear about the fact that you just want a car sometime in the production run and are realistic and aren't expecting anything early.
My next GT3 as well as all my previous GT3s have/will come from an east coast dealer. I will never buy a new Porsche in California.

Agree on the western part. I wouldn't bother calling a single Porsche dealership on the West Coast.

I'm envious of people that make money when they sleep (not physically working) due to the business (oil) that they are in. Wonder how much their income has declined due to the lower prices the world market commands. Would they even be looking at a lowly GT2RS if that wasn't case or would they go for more exotics?
#27
You are right. Most of them wouldn't even take deposits from non-VIPs for anything incoming that they think is gonna be in high demand. However, that has also been the same with all Ferrari dealers all over the country for super hot incoming cars for at least the last 10 years.

I agree at this price point Gt2 is competing with the exotics and it is questionable whether one should buy a 911 or 488 or 720S or LP 640 Performante for the same price.

992 GT3? That's 2020 at least. Then you might ask why not wait for 992.1 GT3RS or wait for 992.2 GT3.
It never ends.
Buy what will make you happy. You may not be here for the next model.
