So some up close and personal spy shots of the new GT3 RS have broken (supposedly, you can never know for sure!) see below:

Those vents on the haunches seem a bit much if it is non-turbo like people are expecting?

I have 2 GT3 related things from all the talk about them a way back

1. If anyone does own or knows someone who owns a 996.1 GT3 that is in very good condition and has never had significant accident damage and is willing to sell please PM me.

2. 997.1 GT3 RS are held in high regard, are the not the .2s poor cousin though? Same questions with the non-RS's I guess?

 

Depends imbue hard core you consider yourself.

Praise IMO. Admittedly my repitoire of porsche ownership is more limited than others on them GT3 boards but in my opinion for my use (touring/track/DD when in NZ and fast B road) it's the best car I've owned to date. I think the 991tt would better it as a DD and all season tourer. It's been interesting watching the "mighty" fall ( pervious gen GT3 and RS owners) slowly but surely into 981 GT3 & on up and coming rS wait list as they slowly but surely get seat time in the new GT3 - granted most of these folk are track guys.

The 991 GT3 has Been a slow burner because it was removed from market for almost 8 months. Now it's starting to gain some ground swell it's no longer available to order in some markets. I see EVO and others finally putting it against others again after a long hiatus.

I'm looking forward to the new RS when it arrives. It's going to be a facinating car for Porsche and will be an interesting top trumps card. The GT4 is intriguing too. One thing us for sure we Re spoilt for great new kit right now and it's all dirt cheap relative to incomes house prices and stock market gains over the last 5 years. Relative of course!

 

am I missing something - John you going to London for job?

 

Graeme. johns 991GT3 owning 3.6T buyer Richard is based in London.

 

Here's a few more shots again from some different angles: http://thesupercarkids.com/more-excl...he-911-gt3-rs/

And now something to show that perseverance and engineering practice makes perfect....

 

No Graeme. The expat days are over. The Turbo 3.6 is London bound.

 

Says the man with his 993 for sale...........??

Mines not..........??

How is the sale process going - has that guy looked at your car?? I hear he is trying to buy another 993 too at the moment.........

 

Have sent you PM. 993 is not for sale. It was a short lived folly!

 

Oow me to

 

Good man - your 993 C2 is probably the most famous one in the world.........

 

Thanks Buba. Its certainly one of the most "infamous" in NZ going by the number of people who ask me if I have sold my car (dinner the other night one of Ron & Patsy's friends we drive with said they had been told it was on TM for a few days then take down! Talk about chinese whispers - I think Ive been asked at least a dozen times why I sold it!). Lets see if we can make her shine again on Sunday. Hasnt been run for almost 4 months so definitely needs and Italian tune up!

 

Or at least the most famous on all the NZ Porsche Facebook groups (which I'm pretty sure are made up of mostly the same core group of people).

 

1.15.XX - (no pressure)

 

Just been back down to CCS and the Midnight Blue Turbo 3.6 was there so I had another nosey (not sure why it has been there so long). The original service book is missing as is the original manual (it has a C2/C4 manual not the Turbo 3.6 version). The duplicate service book doesn't have an option build sticker. The one under the bonnet is in a strange position and looks too new. As far as I know the car is not for sale so this information is probably irrelevant but I just wanted to make sure the status is known as I was saying I thought it was an X88. It may well be, but I can't categorically state that. Trainspotting session over, normal programming can resume.

 

Not likely - but I'd be happy with anything in the 1.16s. Currently I have more laps on the 993 at taupo than hD but I'm hoping Stu can help.

Sam. I emailed you re Sunday. It went to your work email. Drop me a line....
