I didn't even see mine one last time it was in the shop and they picked it up from there.

Fantastic! Enjoy it. I've had my Guards '11 for about two and a half weeks. I love it more every day. It just gets better..

Sport Chrono wasn't going to ruin a deal that otherwise checked all my other "Have to have" boxes.

*** seats; Going to drive it daily

Find me a GR GT3 for sale, new or used, right now. That will solve your confusion.

Sweet! Looks awesome.

I haven't looked at the market lately, I just remember a glut 2-3 months ago. Are you saying they are now hard to find? Would make sense if so, coming into track season.

Yes, I understand. I wanted a GR and finally found one with PCCBs and the adaptive sport seats. Originally, I wanted neither options. It turns out they are both really nice, especially the seats if you drive a lot. At a recent DE, I found the seats to be adequate once adjusted. Buckets would be good if only a weekend/DE car.

When I started looking a couple months ago, there were a total of 3 new, and 3 used GR.

One used one was bought by a rennlister, ATL Fahrer, and 3 more were sold in between now and then. And now mine. Currently there is only one GR available and that is a new one with MSRP ~140k.

The market is littered with White GT3s at almost every price, then followed in count by Black/Meteor Grey and then Silver (Arctic or GT).

As I understand it based on conversations I had with dealers, the 997.2 GT3/RS production run is done. No more slots available.

I am sure that Porsche will prove me wrong, just as sure as I am typing this response
