People who don’t know or care about cars are in charge of legislation over them. Something very odd about that. No wonder 60-70’s are the golden era of cars. RS was born in that era just sayin

all true.
oh, and related to the rear engine lid that doesn't open....
Anyone have a top-down close-up pic of the 992 rear deck lid where supposedly there is a little door lid on one side for oil,.. and on the other side some sort of FAKE lid that cannot be opened but appears nonetheless???
... that just sounds like stupid nonsense to me, and I know Porsche engineers do not put a fake door lid that goes to nowhere & does nothing (but supposedly there just to make things look symmetrical?? ... WTH).
somethings weird about reading that info. I need more.
... I know I should SAY that I could care less about some little fake lid on a 992 GT3,... but my curiosity is getting the better of me

God, at least the 997 was made and engineered when thought dictated results as opposed to “feelings”
can you imagine this “woke” generation having to deal with the Axis powers? Omfg.

Seems like Porsche engineers are getting caught up in the “woke” nonsense where things need to be equitable. If one side has a door, well to be fair why shouldn’t the other side?

Waxer- we'd get along as well... bought my .2 GT3 in 2011. It was over a year old and had 800 miles on it. My son and I flew out to TN to buy it and put more miles on it the first day that it had had since new... it's a keeper in our family along with the 914 I've had since new. Luckily both my boys inherited the car gene. I also have a 991.1 turbo S coupe as a DD- yeah, it is definitely bigger but a perfect DD.
I'm on a list for a new GT3 but probably won't pull the trigger as I'm far enough down the list that the world will probably be destroyed by then considering who's pulling the strings in DC and beyond.

So to add to the general distaste of the 992 and my distaste for first time GT car buyers who are worried about the wrong **** I posted on an Porsche Instagram account were everybody was bitching about the no manual CA thing and their insane worship to the PTS GT3 Touring's I said, "A GT3 without a wing is a Carrera, save the money buy a Carrera you won't reach the potential of a GT3 anyway". Well you can imagine how that comment went over! Some thought it was funny and a few that probably don't even own a P car flamed the hell out of me. I had to tell them it was a joke (kind of)

That infected me with the Porsche bug. Now look at me.🤪

Figured this would fire up a lot of conversation, so started a new thread....
https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a3...-transmission/
The dealerships there must be flaming, and lots of folks will be heading outside of Cali to place their orders
also,... yet again, another supporting reason that 997 GT3 prices will be heading upwards .... again ...

no big deal IMO, but I'm not in the market.
