Default The new Porsche 911 GT3 is terrible!

Shocking news: The new Porsche 911 GT3 is terrible! It’s a huge disappointment, a broken dream. Cancel your deposit if you’ve made one, and tear up your check if you haven’t. And write to the German ambassador to demand some kind of formal inquiry.

No, not really. We’re just kidding.

Yes new and improved. I like the performance of course. The interior is very nice but personally imo the .2 looks more athletic and lean. This new GT3 in comparison looks like it's on roids. Large and bulbous.

Gisele Bundchen, or Coco...?

I want to love this car, I honestly do, but something(s) is missing for me. I am certain that I will be faster around any track with this car, but I think was hold me back is knowing that there is nothing about this car that will make me a faster driver.

certainly not like Gisele I would say..unless someone wants gisele to look like oprah..

I prefer more clean sheet and simple approaches like the 997 Gt3..means: not bulbous..and thats also my taste for women..I stick with Gisele while others can go for the "fat version" of that

I'm glad it mentions that the upcoming 991 GT3 RS is likely to be more aggressive than ever before...just looking forward to that car at this point!

It will be very quick with an improved suspension- longer and wider wheel base.

Just wondering how many more units will be built than the 997.1 / 997.2 GT3s. Seems like the 997s were kept to a low volume because of the exclusivity of the Motorsport engine. The 991 won't have the same constraints.

I remember the spring of 2011 when the dealers were having trouble moving the 997.2 GT3 RS 3.8's ... I remember stopping by at Beverly Hills Porsche with Shay and they had 5 in stock.

More than likely loaded with all options available.
