Just got a call from my dealer about the new GT3. They are giving me there first spot at MSRP. I am giving them my turbo back and should have the new GT3 around Fall.

 

Nice, details on your spec?

 

haven't done the spec yet. The dealer said in the next month or so.

 

Speclist prolly begin march, when the car is presented in Geneva.

 

what made u go from a powerhouse turbo to a track car gt3?

 

Fun!

 

Exactly. I took my turbo out to the track this past weekend for the second time. I was really dissapointed in how the car handled. It was great on the straight away and in the corners it was pathetic. I know you would need a professional to know how drive the turbo properly, but the car gives you no confidence. I got a chance to drive a GT3 and it was a night and day difference in handling. The turbo doesn't even come close. The turbo is a great car but I put in the same catergory as an SL 63 or 65. A super luxury car.

 

What's going on with the sunroof this time? Can we get it with sunroof delete?

 

That's why I sold my turbo. Porsche softened it too much. At least the GT-R has changed Porsche's viewpoint.

The current Gt3 is quite a beast. The new one will be more of one. It will be even more streetable with the new powerband.

 

i always fear the RR model on porsche, all that power on the rear wheels + end in the back scares the crap out of me. i always think the back end will slip. i do A LOT of canyon runs out here in LA, most of the canyons r really tight twisties. i figure since the turbo is awd and has all that power, it would handle pretty fair compared to the GT3.

see my problem is this...
i dislike awd
i love rwd
i love power
i want a gt3 coz of its trackablity...but its hard to make power on a NA motor
i want a turbo coz well its a turbo haha
i wan around 600whp but that will be really difficult with the gt3 and very easy on turbo

idkkk....what u guys think?

 

It's called a GT2 !

 

The truth!

 

You've made a great choice.
I love my 997GT3 but I do hate the sunroof.
The new GT3's I believe will be without sunroofs.
There will be no direct injection.

I spoke with my contact guy and salesman at Champion and was told that they have nothing yet regarding taking deposits and so on. Have pricing even been decided?
I will check with him again.
The new one does look sweet.
