You just have be comfortable to throw it all away. Sitting on the sideline waiting for $10K savings? Put a value on time lost...

If I can survive 45 years without one a few more months won't kill me.

Nothing really to talk about other than the same speculation that makes up the previous 177 pages. Until someone announces something what's there to talk about?

Question
I put my name on a list with deposit for the next GT4. Spec Order in my head - White, PDK. Buckets. Fire Extinguisher, Air Conditioning. I will have to wait to see if this is possible.

Not sure how that relates to 991.1 gt3s.
Going from memory, the GT4 db lists 2062 GT4 for the USA. 991.1 GT3 USA production was 1966 (recalling MJones tracking thread).

Availability varied by market but cars were available for those whom acted quickly.

I'm just back from the factory bunker. Porsche have responded to the 4cyl v 6cyl v GT3 or Carrera S engine controversy by settling on a great compromise which I have seen with my own eyes. It's the new flat 5. Has a great warbly sound and make a scarcely believable 452.5 bhp from its 1 and half turbo system. Sounds a lot like an old Audi Quattro but obviously not nearly as smooth with 3 cylinders hanging off one side and 2 off the other. The 1.5 turbos are obviously packaged on the 2 cylinder side.You might ask what does 1.5 turbos mean? Well that's the really cunning part. The second turbo just has an input impeller so it spins up heaps faster.

It will also have fuel line magnets... to energize the molecules for more power, hence the .5 ponys

This was confirmed by my team of cleaning ladies.

Yes. Zero. AON, no such cars exist.

The GT4 was originally expected to be produced in similar numbers but ended up being very popular which drove up production.
