Can't you see it?
Those tiny wheels, underrated brakes, huge gap between wheel arch and tyre, soft suspension, engine which is worse than a 2 liter VAG diesel engine and exhaust note of a tractor.

I'm not crazy about it..
It's great Porsche is making another GT3, I just dont like it as much

-Front end too similar to std 997 and GT2 (both are less attractive to me than 997 GT3.1)
-Rear is much worse IMO (what's with the "eyeliner" around the lights ?)
-Wheels are gimmicky and why are they painted "brake dust gray" vs silver ?
-Love the bigger engine with more hp & torque !

It's great Porsche is addressing most of the general concerns---no sunroof, bigger brakes & engine, lighter headlight option. For me the lack of a sunroof is a deal breaker...for everyone else it's good news.

Bill in Atlanta you mean you like and want a sunroof in such a raw track purposed built Porsche? Get a Carrera S instead.

I wished it would have come with direct injection.
The wheels are a gimmick and I do not like the spoke design. It looks too BLING.
I hope they do not smooth out this car. The GT3 is meant to be raw and a drivers car. The peak of an experience behind the wheel.
Oh well my 2 cents.

Yes, I want a sunroof which is why I own a 997 GT3 (and a Turbo). The GT3 is a street car and living in a warm/sunny location I enjoy it every time I drive it. I do not want a Carrera S (I can drive my Turbo if I want a "soft" luxury car).
