I'm definitely underwhelmed with the S. A GT3 seems unlikely and even getting a GTS now will be difficult. I guess I'm lucky to have a car. The Z06 might be a more likely possibility than a Porsche now.

If you're underwhelmed with the S, I somehow doubt a GTS is going to be different enough to make a difference.

TT/TTS or GT3 would be the way to go.

Try tuning it. z06 will likely be hard to get as well, and there is significant price to pay for a GT3 or TTS. What u got to lose?

yes I have been thinking about a tune and a few other upgrades. I am waiting for some actual data from any of the tuners. Until I see some verification of power and drive ability I’m not going to throw out the warranty. As far as I’ve seen nobody has run a quarter mile or data logged at a road course. Dragy and it “feels faster “ is not convincing enough for me.

Z06s are very difficult to get and they are asking hefty ADMs, as well, although GM is conveying they will not tolerate that but Dealers are not listening.

Plus- they are years out, as well.

Have not checked, myself…but the owner of the shop that did my PPF on my 992 (this past Summer) has a Z06. It was at his shop when I dropped my 992 off…so I asked him about the car, and what he paid. I was shocked. Significantly less that what I paid for my 992S in ‘21. Fully loaded, he paid just over $100K. No idea about current availability, but suspect, like all cars that have limited production numbers, the waiting list is long? While the car is a beast (in terms of HP), bit to gaudy for my taste.

Are you talking about a C7 Z06? That's a rather different car... I don't believe any C8s have been delivered yet -- pricing hasn't even been announced, actually.

Also, the Z06 is not a limited production vehicle. They'll build tons of them -- in recent history, 10-15k per year.

Believe he said he took delivery in 2020. I assume model year 2020, but could even be a 2019? No idea which model? Supercharged V8?

Sorry, meant to say, in small quantities…not limited production.

He's just an angry troll. Don't feed the trolls.

If you are referring to me, please point out in my post #96/#98 anything that’s “angry””?

You can’t.

But if you don’t like the news, then change the channel?

How about post #82?

Odd that you don't even see the fallacy of pointing to two specific posts to try prove the point that you are not an angry troll. Actually, not all that surprising considering the source. Oh wait, need to go, an ambulance is driving by!!!!

He edits nearly every comment he makes, so take that for what it's worth.

What about it? Directed at your comments to me.

Has nothing to do with anybody else’s comments.

I do, and don’t deny it. So what?

Sometimes I change the wording to make my point clearer, or add to my post. Sometimes I correct my spelling mistakes for the spelling/grammar ****’s.
