I will not be skipping the 992 and am actually very much looking forward to it

Agree to disagree as I really don't like the 992 Turbo rear.

However looks are subjective. What I find attractive in a woman, may be different that what you like. Hope you enjoy your 992 GT3

I doubt allocations will be an issue for a variety of reasons.

because that Audi backlight family looking?
Or because they tried to take some 911 into the Panny and some Panny into the 992?

Any news when the 992 GT3 will be presented?
Still 9th July?

I followed a 992 Turbo 'S' press car twice this weekend, carving up Malibu..personally I like the rear looks a LOT....and my buddy who was lucky enough to score the car....LOVES the way it drives, and he KNOWS.....

Anyway, EVERY time there's a new model, there are lovers, haters, and inbetweeners....AND....a lot of people flip flop as the looks grow on them...or not....

One for the most entertaining podcast for sure.
As far as pure car evaluation, I think I would put more weight on the words from where the press car was before that. Which where also very positive indeed.

Thanks for posting! I think the reveal will be within the next month or two just based on all of the “leaks”. Seems like there is a new video of the GT3 mule every week. With most manufacturers once this starts happening the reveal is close behind.

Not the same video. They continue to run the same mules and all the photogs have access to the same vantage points, so the videos look alot alike. No new info really, just more crumbs for those of us who are overly excited. This is the first vid I recall showing a car with red calipers, presumably steels.

Are you able to see whether the steels also use the new 10-piston calipers like the new PCCB’s?

The GT3 is running 6 pistons w/ ceramic rotors upfront (assuming that the yellow caliper color isn't a decoy). I would not equate more pistons with a better braking system. There are many factors to consider.
