Default GT3 MY10 Allocation Question??????

Were you offered an "2010" early build allocation?

Did you take it or pass on it?

If you passed what was the reason?

I decided the 997GT3 with depreciation was a better choice so I picked it up 2 weeks ago and gave up my #1 position.

^ Not a real statistic, since the "early" allocations only became available a week ago. Your decision preceded the choice posed.

I passed because there was no front axle lift or dynamic engine mount available.

^ Don't pay any attention to me I am just riled up over the "never mind" thread.

All is good.

See my allocation thread. I was offered the June build car and am passing do to economic concerns. I don't care that the engine mounts and lift system are not available at this time. I would consider the engine mounts depending on cost but that would not stop me from ordering if I were comfortable spending the money.

Passed. Wanted PTS & the engine mounts. Dealer got PCNA to trade early for a later allocation to accommodate. Will be specing in the last part of this year/early part of next.

Porsche is probably spreading rumors that the RS will barely be better to make people buy both

Although, having driven both of the 997 variety I really don't see much of a difference with the RS. It blips a little faster, and may have a tad more high speed stability. I don't think it has much weight savings in real life. Remember the american RS did not have the super light rear glass/plexi? or some of the other bits that made the RS in germany.
