GTS = Goodbye to Shelf.

a nice way of saying cleaning all parts left in the bins before they start making the next 911.

Looking at Porsche.com website, it lists the MSRP at $108, and a GT3 and $115, I wouldn't have a hard time picking which one I would buy.

Porsche.com/usa lists it as $103,100. I'm calling to see if I can swap my order.

Good luck on the swap, gravedgr, I'd think this will be a hard one to get any sort of discount on though.

I'm with Northvan on this one, GT3 vs this, I know where my money's going!

Not going to lie though, that is a gorgeous car, especially with the wide body and center locks.

Yeah, just spoke to my dealer. They are going to want most or all of the discount they offered on m C2S back. That's about a $6k loss. On the other hand, by spring maybe trade values for my C63 will be out of the crapper since winter will be on the way out.

You wont go into a dealer wanting a GTS and come out with a GT3. They are not the same car at all. The GTS is now their top end NA road car with all the daily driver comforts. The GT3 is a track car that was built to be able to use on the road. I am not saying people wont look at the GTS and move over to the GT3 but most people if they want a road car they get the road car.

The $103 is for the 6 speed, the $108 is for the PDK

Agreed that a GT3 is more at home on a track, but not a road car? Look at the for sale adds and see how many people abuse them by NOT taking them to the track.
