A great feature article on the GT3 mk2...

GT3-mk2-First-Drive_DR-Link

...thanks to Chris Harris at Drivers Republic!

 

Nice.

 

Thanks for sharing, now time to read!

 

bad post for me to read. it led me right to the configurator. $134k just whispering to get out of my wallet. fortunately, i'll rationalize the need to wait for dynamic engine mounts. in my heart i'd also prefer the pdk on the GT3 (perish the thought, i know) but i'd absolutely live without that. the front lift allows me to get this in my garage also. oy

awesome car and DR is a nice read.

 

If the new GT3 is this good, how much better can the new RS be? As much as I'd like to 'upgrade' I'll hold off at least until the 998 version.

 

I guess there's an outside chance of 4.0L and a good chance of the usual (widebody, lightened flywheel, graphics, etc.)

 

i thought the REGULAR 997.2gt3 already has lwfw?

 

It's lighter than 997.1 GT3, but still dual-mass, I think. I guess the RS MkII will have lighter single-mass...

EDIT: Just checked porscheusa.com and it is still dual-mass.

 

Oh man!!! This sucks!!!

I was so sure I would not be tempted and could reason myself into keeping mine. After reading this, I am seriously reconsidering

 

Great write up... Looking like a fantastic car to replace an already fantastic car (hopefully with fewer leaks).... Shame they couldn't preview colors other than red... Already know what that looks like...

Shame about the thin sheet metal in the back as I was planning to retrofit rear seats but who gives a cr@p! Rear passengers miss out, my seat is secure, lol...

 

i am glad i have a June Build!

 

It's "Reduced Weight"

 

I needed a cold shower after that. God that car haunts me...........

 

resistance if futile.


and grant g, thanx for chk'g on the flywheel thing. you figure for $120k, you get it standard. but they do inc. xenon now....

 

my goodness, i thought my english was horrible.
what is "basic wt"...

it was continuous controlled....
now it's ADDITIONALLY continuous controlled.
