Anyone one know when Porsche is planning to come out with the 991 GT line?

997 C4S now...and yes if $ was no object I'd take a 991S or 991 GT2 when they make one but till then I think I am cool with my 09' car. I'll let all the new adopter work out the kinks and also endure paying the cost premium for early adopting!

I'm in an '07 C2. I can't see myself going 991 C2...rather 3.8RS for less money in a few years...

have 09 C2s Cab, E39 M5, & a Ninja. I may replace the M5 w/ a Panny ".2" version. Will not buy the 991 maybe the ".2" version. Seems like i prefer the .2's.

Btw in your OP, you mention "HARD TOP CAB". My dealer says the Cab will be conventional fabric tops. There hasnt been any indication of a hard top and frankly I hope not.

997.2 but will likely get a 991 at some point since I purchase a new one about every 3-4 years. I really like my 09 right now and would have to wait until they work the kinks out on the 991.

I was looking for a C4S Targa but had little luck. I am considering either a GTS or a Carrera 4 GTS. It seems here in the states it will be early spring 2012 March or so for the 991 to start to be delivered so it will almost be a year may be a little less for me to get a 991.

Cheers,

Will probably think about getting a C4S or Turbo to augment the RS whenever they are out. Perhaps just a C2S. They look good I think. Look forward to Cayman too.
