u are onto something. but last time they used scissors we ended up in ER. they do math with base 9 since there are now finger missing.

Tis'. I had to make a move and commit to a series to get my hands on one!

I still LOVE my 997RS however! Modern day Rgruppe.
The 991R, not so much. Too new and refined. Nice. But a little fluffy for my tastes.

Perhaps if it were bargin priced below a GT3 i would be singing a different tune.

It's a fast and expensive GTS.
At $185k starting price, I don't see many 997.2 GT3 owner's jumping (note: I did not say upgrade)

The 911 for the wine and cheese crowd. Cruising Napa, weekend trips... spirited canyon drives. Not the big wing open exhaust scare children track day hoon crowd many of us belong to.

oh well i thought we didn't want manuals anymore. Still not available anyway. Here's an idea tick off the core gt3 crowd buy getting rid of the manual for the new generation gt3. Then add salt to wounds and release an actual manual gt3rs but make sure you can't actually buy it - Ferrari style. Well unless of course you get yours "free" with the 918

Been looking in that crystal ball!

Just give me a GT3 with manual/non-electric steering. Wait they already did that. I still live in the past. I really don't need unlimited HP though. Only so much one can use if you street drive at all
