I am really enjoying getting everyone's feedback. It sounds like most would only substitute a 911 for well another 911. Hopefully Porsche will continue to build cars that make us want to upgrade? I worry sometimes, but then again I save a lot of money by not switching. I have always though I would love to have a front engine Ferrari or Mclaren one day, (and the 720 looks like a world beater), but the lack of a dealership close by holds me back.

The only way that a GT3, regardless of color, blends into the pack is at the race track. Otherwise it stands out in the "real world" of look alike cars.

Depends where you live, I guess. In CA, a wingless 911 in black, gray, silver, or other subtle color is pretty subtle—and communicates "orthodontist" rather than "boy racer." Get rid of the bright calipers, and it would be even subtler. Add a wing and bright green paint, and it's a Lambo.

Beautiful car—love the color, 7MT, and five-lug wheels.

I live in northern MD where there are lots of Porsches, but a 911 is still a rarity. Macans, Panamera, and Cayennes are everywhere. I guess people want practical cars in my neck of the woods. Maybe I'll take a Macan to TPC racing and see what they can do with it.

Nice GTS!
MT and 5-lugs were my choice also


I do have a McLaren dealership close by. Reading some of reviews complaining about build quality, although I am sure it drives superb, I still have not test driven one.

My only concern with extremely limited production cars is part availability. I suspect that dealers stock normal maintenance items, but anything out of the ordinary could cause a long delay.

Getting my Huracan repaired was a pain in the butt. The dealer had to take pictures of everything, get approval from Lambo, and have parts shipped from Italy. Even for something as simple as a broken side mirror. And they wanted the broken side mirror back so they could send it back to Italy. I've heard horror stories about McLaren reliability and repairs from friends. Their warranty also covers less and less stuff. Design defects are deemed "wear items" etc.

Thanks Pete. I appreciated the 5 lugs (which I can't get on a GT3T) shortly after delivery, the first time one of those big rear 305s sucked up a nail, 80 miles from my dealer!

Ohh.... I like yours Papa. Silver and black. Perfect for Raider country. Maybe I'll see you sometime on the left coast roads. I'm down in Pismo Beach. I read somewhere Mclaren won't even sell owners an oil filter for the car. You have to go into the dealership. I think the reliability has been a question too certainly with earlier cars.
