When seeing the gear lever, I asked myself, how short is too short?

That light blue over cognac is a pretty combo.

The good news is that anyone with a GT3 Touring allocation can spec 97% of this car with PTS and exclusive standard interior leather for under $260k.

Good analogy. Though it looks ok on a 356. 911? saw it once, it didn't wow.

No, I think if he had an allocation he'd probably rub it in your face to further spin you up.

You're lucky they dropped any weight. They didn't have to and would still sell them all. Thing is, hes right, parts for parts, this car isn't worth a penny more than the Touring. But you're buying the badge here. It's ok, people do that.

.....and here we go again bitching and moaning about "a limited" 2k run of "another special edition" porsche. Yea! Like clockwork, porsche the masters of spinning up their fans and extracting more cash from those who get the chance. The Rennlist peanut gallery is up in arms. Save your money, buy an RS, its the faster/better car in all aspects. In this case, you're just buying the badge. Then again, some do like to wear Patek... Go drive your pigs. And if you really want one, just write the $500k check. You can afford it right?

Without RWS this car will not feel like a GT3 at all. Didnt AP did a long speech in 2013 when justifying it for 991.1 as to how bad the car was without it?

Whats next, no abs?

In my old vague memory, he said “The car feels like a truck without it.”

Careful now, it's posts like that which will have you labeled by some on here as a hater because you aren't falling over yourself praising the car as the next holy grail 911. After all, if we aren't willing to pay the "market" price to get one, you must be a poor whiner who can't afford the car in the first place.

AP is not just the head of GT, he's Porsche's best salesman.
