Default Your 3 became a classic today !

The 996 GT3 became a classic today ! Porsche launched the new GT3 in Geneva - it looks fantastic but it comes with a DFI engine and PDK only. That means that our "analog" cars with the famous Metzger engine have become somewhat more special today. I'm sure the new car is amazing in every respect but the our 3s will have a place in Porsche history as the first modern, water cooled sporty 911 sans the electronics - it's a keeper

I saw Porsche's website and the 991 GT3's motor has an external oil tank. The 991 Cup car has the Mezger motor in it. I don't know any more details about the street GT3 though. BTW, I absolutely love the 996 GT3!

It was already game over for me when they put that nannie crap on the 997.1 and thereafter. Long live the 6!!! Mike

Precisely. When I see a 6GT3 going at a good pace on track, I know it's all driver.

Yeah, but didn't your 3 also become cheaper today

I'll be at the Geneva auto show, will post my impression/pics after I fight my way to the GT3.

I hope you survived the Winter without having the GT3 to look at in your garage Is your new ride almost ready to be uncovered? I walk by the beauty of a GT3 you sold me every day in my garage, I will say Hi to it for you this morning.

Any chance of bringing a portable scizzor lift and take pics underneath car : )? Curious what the 4 wheel steering mechanism looks like. Mike
