It will be interesting to see I love any GT3 to be honest there isn’t a bad one in reality.

I do miss the 991.2 if I’m completely honest and may go back if I can find a Touring but it’s splitting hairs and I only have one garage. Ideally I’d like both but funds don’t allow😉

If they put the shorter gears from the S/T (Manual) and RS (PDK), then in combination with the additional RS power with the hotter cams (peak power closer to redline) then that will certainly be felt.

Its still going to be slower than all its rivals on the street. Is it worth 25-50K more ? I don't think so.

I'm not much of a street racer. I like driving on the track and in the canyons/mountains, but the subjective characteristics of a great car always put a bigger smile on my face than outright pace. A naturally aspirated 911 has never been the outright fastest car, but none of its rivals excite me nearly as much. The only new cars I'd rather buy are out of my price range (Gordon Murray Automotive).

At what point do GT3's become out of your price range ?

Styling will be largely the same. Possibly a suspension upgrade. They will be doing a Weissach Package on the GT3. Absolutely useless, unless you are tracking.

PTS will be another 6k increase.

Base MSRP price will increase every bit of 25k or MORE to start.

An every single option car like my 24 Touring (268k msrp ) will likely be $310 - 320k + ADM ( for most ).

I'd buy a Ferrari.
this paints a scary picture and makes me want to take the MY24 allocation + current ADM, even if not getting PTS!!

I already can't afford the cars I own

But willing to stretch a bit more if the spec, trade/price, and time of year (for European Delivery) all work out ok...

75k is absolutely insane. That was the price when the car was first announced. I’d consider 25k over and that’s about it.

997 cars ? I guess.

991 cars, sure. 991.1 cars were auto with ****ty engines.

991.2, 992.1 and 992.2 will ALL hold value being 4.0 cars and the last of the NA.

Its not a dream. Look at 993's.

I would like to point out, I don't think mine will be worth anything. I hope I have 50k miles on it in the next three years.

it seems…high - but i was not looking earlier in the market, so don’t have much context around it.

having checked with several dealers it seems to be the ‘going rate’!!
