Right. And it comes with 4 years warranty.
Drove my race legal RSA 250 miles to Miami and back yesterday. In a Thunderstorm downpour. Without seat belts. On slicks. That is tiring but we made it. Thinking about starting to smoke and drink more.
So you are also getting a 964?

No. They are too concerned with what driving gloves to buy, who has the coolest "Martini" graphics, and "Desperately Tracking Ship X" to debate the nonsense posted by the OP. Carry on. Nothing to see here....

saw my first 991gt3 a few weeks ago.
didn't like it at all.
looks really big and unnecessarily overweight with gratuitous details.
did nothing for me.
the new targa looks 1000 times more elegant as does a 997 gt3.
991gt3 looks like a boy's toy for the cash-up tech noob.
no elegance whatsoever. might be fast, but so are all the previous gt3's.
at least they have style too.

Seems like automode is the way to go on track for faster laptimes on the 991 gt3. It's really true- I do that on on gran turismo on my ps3 all the time : ). Mike

I assume the Audi tt rs is fwd only rt? Last year a highly modified tt-rs won the 25 hrs of thill won it overall which for most part have been dominated by Porsche cupcars for years. At least reading from articles- aero and suspension geometry was the key. Mike

You are so right. I did not post on 991GT3 forum for those reasons. I did not want to distract them from tracking ships, deciding on the different shades of PTS blue to order(is it mexico blue, riviera blue, gulf blue, cobalt blue, bleu cheese blue?), euro delivery vs picking up here, selling my 14 to pick up a 15 because I don't like the seat belt color I chose. Its better to debate the nonsense I posted on this forum.

Couldn't say I wholly agree... but lots of valid points!

Small for today's standards, pretty fun to drive and hardcore for today's standards, lightweight for today's standards, still could be one of the few. Are that doesn't fall apart after 30 minutes of track time in the heat. @9000 screaming RPM. It can't be boring. It may not be as much fun as a proper analog GT3 or even air cooled 911 bet well see.
Certainly it will be faster than is healthy for me and most weekend drivers...
The RS even more so, hopefully is will be a lot lighter.
You just cranky that to live in the wrong decade.

I must say that albeit neutered by suspension and low HP to be kept in its place forever in the Porsche hierarchy the smaller, lighter, 5 speed, 5 lug Cayman is more and more becoming a tempting track option. Every track test call it a honey to drive, HP can be fixed and it looks great. No longer a chick car..
