No........ Why not experience the joy of sound and a little wind. It's there and it's not easily going away!

You're not deluding yourself -- you're depriving yourself.

In a DE are u even allowed to open it? Never liked sunroofs as a matter of fact never liked convertibles. Either I'm deaf or your more deaf to hear the car. Not too belittle the sunroof GT3's but have to say 997 gt3 looks much better looking then mine. Mike

Love my sunroof, have it open as much as I can.

Happiness is accelerating under a bridge in Sport mode with the sunroof open! Positively orgasmic!

The GT3 nowadays is basically the modern day equivalent of a 993C2S with M030.

Sunroof, check
Dry sump, check
Sport suspension, check
"premium sound," check
Heated seats, check

Yep, only the 993 C2S equivalent now costs 100K.

The rest wasser pumpers are just money making machines bearing no resemblence of a real 911 other than the body shell.

It would be nice if your posts were informative once in a while instead of just bitter.

Seems like the mortgage business blues have you down.

Tell us Mr Testosterone, how much time does your overpriced TT (and now low-valued) spend vanquishing GT-3's on the track? And how often with you at the wheel?

Premium sound is not available on my car, but was it on yours?. Don't have heated seats either, do you? (however,in truth, what is it you have against them?)

Gee, I thought GT-2's were water-cooled.

Oh well, my mistake.

I agree with Stuka. The 7GT3 is what the 997S should have been. Well, without the wing...

It would be nice to get the 997s with a gt3 engine, even a 380hp version. Would it outsell gt3's and tt's.......maybe?
