Not even 48 hrs after delivery of a 991.2 RS already thinking about the next car. Must be nice
Have been thinking about the 4RS for years. Was late to the party in trying to get one. I drove a friend's 4RS on the road a couple months ago, and I liked it.
I'm at the point where to get something, I need to trade/sell something. So if 4RS comes, something will go.

Main attraction of the 4RS is that it's the best track-oriented Cayman ever made, and also an entertaining road car. I was never satisfied with the handling of the 981 GT4 on track near the limit (even after TPC mods), and hoping that the 4RS has handling on par with the 911 GT cars.

I don't know. Some people say there will be more allocations, and I guess Porsche has the option of making more of these cars if they want to.
I have a 2023 brand new 911 T - with 130 miles on the odometer. Guard’s red. Asking $147,000. Manual trans, I took a GT3 allocation just after this car arrived.

only a few new 911T’s for sale in the country for considerable more money. I paid an ADM-
true driver’s car - designed for mountain and country road driving- not trying to beatby .5 second on a track.
Gt3 allocations definitely tough to get right now as they’ve moved onto 3rs for the most part. 3rs and 4rs are most definitely floating around
My dealer says no more allocations being released. Maybe the ones floating around were already released and being shopped for highest bidder? Or my dealer is wrong because they don’t know.
I took an allocation for a GT3 last week for $40 k over and a polite not required request to buy a GT 3 watch or a Porsche electric off road bike ( about the same cost).
the watch is only available to a GT3 owner so it might b e the better long term decision.
the car is shark blue, neodyme (gold) wheels around $15,000 in options. Four way seats - I find on my 911’s I set the seat and leave it and the steering column does not adjust with the memory button these days anyway. Lighter weight. Carbon fiber roof. Matching blue interior trim.,-‘Adding my own martini style livery - see the mock ups below.
I only had one day to decide on the build/ dealer was allocated this allocation just before it was locking the next day.
this will be a 2024 car - and with options and shipping the cost to he msrp is $199,800. So the car before tax and license $240,000 essentially.
I labored over the transmission choice - and my wife’s logic was this is a track focused car and clearly the pdk is faster and can still be shifted by hand with the center console stick auto trans shifter. Also I do think the pdk is less strain on the engine and the odds of having to replace a clutch is a consideration. When driving on a track less distractions and your hands stay on the steering wheel all the time. Easier to focus on the driving. I am also lucky to have a 2023 911 T with a manual being delivered on July 19th anyway.
clutches are guaranteed to fail on a manual and I would hate to ask what it costs to replace the l clutch on a GT3? I assume extended warranties will not cover a clutch pedal that drops to the floor.
anyone replace a clutch in a 992 - 911 recently?
a few pics and a picture mock-up with the gold and blue color Martiniesque livery I am already designing for the car.
I have a shop in London - England - that does the livery for me. Really good and fair priced.
debating having “PORSCHE” in gold metallic lettering on the top or bottom of the wing. What do you think? Wife says “everyone knows it is a Porsche already”.
seems like most of the GT3’s for sale are 2022 models and not too many 2023 builds and so far no 2024, might be the last year for this all gas engine GT3’s.
Which wing lettering - would be in gold metallic to match with the martini stripes in gold and dark and shark blue - on top, bottom or delete? Or Maybe on the top of the rear window in gold lettering like on the gt4-rs..
forgot to upload this pics of the wings with lettering on top or bottom?
I’ve never even heard of someone driving a gt3/rs so many miles they need a clutch replacement. If you don’t last at least 100k miles on a clutch you probably are burning it and not driving properly.
pdk I’d be more worried about 10-20 years from now

Porsche is far from done with either RS
No transmission is perfect and I also labored with this decision. At the end of the day it came down to ease of serviceability and vehicle engagement......manual all the way for me.
No manual for me unless its my 997.2 gt3rs which i barely drive. I just traded in a 991.2 manual gt3. I live in miami. Traffic is getting horrible. Cant appreciate the car… i wojld go pdk. Actually i jad one if the first ones back in oct 2021. Never drove it .. used it as an investment without knowing it would turn a substantial profit at the time i ourchased one …. Sold it in 2 weeks …. It was a bery nice profit. It was shark blue with 18 way seats…

Looks phenomenal! Congrats - very exciting..
Obviously transmission choice is personal and there’s no right or wrong - I’d go PDK too for the track and the track ethos/orientation of a winged GT3.

really epic color combo!!
and you guys are so lucky you can get the factory cage, that thing is SO COOL. I wouldn’t overthink the lettering as you can easily remove it, I say get it because you’re even thinking about it and if you don’t like it just take it off.
