you guys need to also remember, at least here in america, the tariffs play a role in the pricing of the .2.

lots of people have mentioned swiss watches, price increase due to tariffs.

i sell a swiss made turntable that was $18K pre tariff, post tariff it’s $28K. same turntable.

One is a Touring with an amazing spec, and the other is a wing with an inferior configuration. Apples and Oranges.

No one prefers .1 over .2 except when it comes to price.

Agreed. I'm so tired of these guys that 'think' they know so much and act like they are better than everyone else. The arrogance just oozes out of them. Demuro is another. The incorrect crap he's stated over the years is mind boggling.

The increasing MSRP of GT3s from 2021 to 2024 had nothing to do with tariffs.

I prefer the .1 over the .2. I might be in a small percentage of gt3 owners, but passed on the .2. I like the more aggressive look, 918 bucket seats, and analog rev counter. Suspension tweaks are just software updates and shorter gearing is because the engine makes less torque. Keeping more money in my pocket was also a nice bonus.

I prefer .1 over .2 even if .2 were cheaper. Seriously

For looks? Or for how it drives? I can only see the former.

for everything, well I haven’t tracked a .2 but no one here is going to convince me it’s materially different plus I don’t really track my touring.

show me a better looking, better sounding, better interior appointed .2

I like the look of the .1 better as well, but everything else the .2. Plus, I need backseats.

Both the .1 and .2 are great but while Porsche is known for incremental improvements within each generation, it sure seems as though the 992, compared to the 997 and 991 generations, had, by far, the least amount of improvements from the .1 to the .2.

no one needs back seats in a sports car. Porsche is just trying to be everything to everyone.

Agreed - they had to do some work arounds due to the EU regulations to hold serve on power, wanted to address front end complaints and add a few new features e.g. back seats and buckets that allowed back seats. Overall the incremental improvements are great but if you have a .1 and you like it, the .2 is not needed. if you like the areas they enhanced, the the .2 at the price is a great car as well. I took my .2 delta and put it towards adding a GT4 RS to my .1 - could not be happier!
