Really nice..Manual or PDK?

It's a GT3 'Touring' which is only available in manual. The 'winged' version of the GT3 is available in a stick or a manual.

I'm assuming you didn't pay much for the touring based on trade-in value for the 993TT...I likely you'd have done the same thing.

When do you bring her home?

I agree. Air cooled engines need to have large tolerances and therefore are "dirtier" when it comes to what comes out of the tailpipe.

...so you can use heavy oil and never get scored cylinders, main bearings, etc.

realize the Mezger water 996/7 and air engine 964/993 share the same cases/bottom ends... and share the same oil hot weight spec ... talking Mezger/GT1 watercoolers not m96/7...
...had written a long post but decided to scrap it... buy and drive(a lot) what you love, all that matters...
I'll gladly keep both air and water 911's going...

Default Spring Bump
Spring bump - with spring price too $ 189,900. Writing check for my GT3 T in the next week or so now would be the time to talk to them.
