When the 992 GT3 was released, he and others, got to drive all the generations at Porsche Experience Center LA.

 

I recall that now...I believe that was almost 3 years ago

 

They need to have Mike, Drew or Jon drive them.

 

+1 I was thinking the same

 

Sorry, but I only need to hear from Chris Harris (and maybe Jethro) on this car. Only trust his judgment of the journos, the US guys are not nuanced enough. And even Chris can make mistakes, best policy is to drive yourself. But he’s usually right.

 

The throttle house guys are pretty spot on aswell and not afraid to publicly criticize. Likely as most their reviews are post release deliveries and not bias press pieces.

 

LOL

No one is buying this car because of a good review.

And certainly no one is not buying this car because of a bad review.

 

We agree on something. It's a new year!

Jokes aside, Thomas and James seem like genuine dudes. I'm a fan

 

So what’s the current market like?

I was offered an April non-PTS slot for $300k over.

 

I get upset with paying a fee for my luggage being over 50lbs and you guys are paying 2x for an S/T.

I aspire to be at your level.

 

I think that most that sold for over sold for $200k-$250k over.

 

Lol. I'm pretty sure we'd agree on more than you'd realize. Generally though they have a genuinely pure way of conducting reviews that give you a truly engaging experience while watching.

 

But…..The reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, typically that bodes very well IMHO, low number cars do not get much journalistic review after the initial release. The fact that some might think a 997 4.0 that is currently fetching ~ $800k for a prime example; is better, is nothing, absolutely nothing but a point of context that this car is in that ethos…Along side one of the great GT cars of all time. I am not a 992 fan, and yet here I am, just to follow this car, as it seems to be the best new 911 by a wide margin. Happy New Year to those fortunate enough to get an allocation.

 

I just enjoy seeing people using the word Ethos completely out of its definition in multiple threads.

Ethos essentially a reference to "Eth"ics of a person/persons.... has no context of referring to an objects persona.

Sorry, had to just get that off my chest as it's been bugging me, but people think it sounds cool so I bit my tongue til now.

Carry on.

 

Best response of 2024! (Says a guy who is too cheap to check a bag at all!)
