Don't we have to take the good with the downside though? As the vehicle becomes more highly tuned, bigger, lighter, harder, stiffer, ..... its closer in build to a track car then a daily road car. There is going to be less softness, tolerances and margin. That leads to things breaking. Ever known a race car not to have issues ? So I can sort of understand the mechanics and physics of a few of the issues. This includes design issues, where perhaps the daily road car pleasantries again conflict with the car for what it is.

Admittedly its the electronics that worry me.. but again, might simply be the fact that someone "from purchasing" found an alternative chip supplier on the internet...

Soooo, I shouldn’t trade my 991.2 GT3 in on a 992? Any regrets on this move?

Basing ones decision on posts by the likes of 3-Pedals (who have not owned a 992 GT3) would be folly. The 992 GT3 is without doubt an awesome car and IMO is an engineering marvel.
Better than any previous version of the GT3 or worth making a change? Thats subjective and depends entirely on ones preferences in a car of this nature. For me, the 992 GT3 ticks the boxes that I would want in making a change from a 991.2 GT3 or even my 991.2 GT3RS.

The quality issues will be fixed. Porsche always sorts things out. It's one huge reason why I stick with the brand.

A sidenote: 3-Pedals has been blocked by many on this forum for posts that are based on generalizations and utter nonsense.

Sorry to upset you. If I didnt think its a great car, I wouldn't have been trying to get one myself. I provided my own perspective as we all do. We don't have a requirement here that say we have to own the car to participate a discussion or stay in "attention" when an owner enters the discussion or say something, do we? If we did, it would have been pretty quiet forum. Anyways, let's keep it civil please. It's ok to disagree. No need to insult/name calling.

I had a very early one too, no problems. No car is perfect. All have compromises. I think it’s an improvement over my 991.2. YMMV.

My GT3 was built in late September and has 320 miles on it so far. The only issue I have is a slight rattle in the drivers door upon cold start but I don’t notice it when driving. I’ll report back as my miles increase.

Late July build, 1200 miles, 1 track day, no issues so far aside brake pads and a nail in tire.

Problems with low volume high performance cars tend to turn an otherwise cloudy day into ‘the sky is falling’!

i specifically said I’m not trying to be chicken little!

If I had a .2 and was happy with her I would not trade for a 992.

But that is me. I still like the look of the .2 better

you need an exhaust
all my previous GT cars had after market exhaust and I can swear that they had no rattles or I did not hear any
for that matter , I don't remember hearing the radio either

Not uncommon for people to skip the "next" generation with 911s, GT3s are not immune from this - Porsche improvements are incremental on all generations.

No slight on 992; I never saw the reason to change my 991.1 either until now and may keep it as I believe 991s will end up as the sweet spot in moderns 911s.

It amazes me to see most on this forum trading in and out - multiple iterations even with the same generation. Grass is not always greener. Dealer's take advantage, drives up prices, and feeds on itselt.

That's NO excuse.

Amen!

agree with this. I’m completely happy with my 991.2 GT3. I have no plans to acquire a 992 GT car, though I would definitely consider a 994.1 GT3, they are still NA.
