Someone has gone through the trouble of posting everything there is to know about this car at the beginning of this thread. Please take the time and review all the presentation material if you are interested in this car. Everything is explained there. AP has a 19 min long interview on Drivetribe describing every detail of the car.
Graphics on the seats can be deleted. So can the pinstripes on the wheels...

Good observation on the seat crests. Same with the stitching colors too right?

Thanks, Rob. Still working on build, but will be pretty basic with Manual and LWB's...

Wow, already 40 pages in this thread!

I like the car, and may replace the 991.1 GT3 with one. Biggest attraction for me is the engine, which hopefully has the reliability issues sorted out.

But am I the only one who finds the front bumper cover, intakes, etc. kind of ugly? To me, that part of the car looks much better on the 991.1 GT3.

I agree with that the .1 front looks better to me.

I think the front looks a bit more aggressive, so I don't mind the front. The rear black intakes I don't care for. The best ever was the design of the 997 RS 4.0. That was incredible.

The real issue for me with the 991.2 is the sound. I hope that video is messed up somehow.

I can live with the front bumper but the rear engine lid bothers me with the two black air intakes. They just don't like right.

As I said,there's no way that the car sounds like that! It sounds way worse than the 991.2 Carrera Dyson vacuum cleaners. I bet that those images are computer generated,not actual shoots and the sound is a studio simulation. You can clearly hear there are way too many unnecessary shifts for what the car is supposedly doing on the road.

Sounds fine in this video. The other one sounds like it was recorded with a gopro in it's waterproof case

I have contacted all the Porsche dealers in my region, the answers I got were all the same, the allocations priorities are reserved for ones who had bought GT3/GT3RS before and had left their deposits.

Now, if the allocations are reserved for current owners (people who still own their GT3/GT3RS), I agree that it's a fair situation because they are consider the true enthusiasts. However, to reserve the priorities for those who HAD BOUHGT GT3/GT3 RS then RESELL them for profits and still get their allocations for this new generation, that's totally wrong to me.

Anyways enough of my ranting, the .2 GT3 is truly an amazing machine. Congratulations to the ones that have their allocations ;-)
I feel ya, it's like boxing day without seeing the front of the line. I've had a deposit for over a year and bought a 997.2 c4s....but I don't really have a clue on exactly when mine will come through if ever. I'd love some visibility into monthly allocation numbers.
