what the point of 911 vs gt-r when nissan admited than gt-r is a cheap 911 in NG documentary

True the GTR raised the bar in many ways. But let's not forget that Nissan targeted the TT as the car they wanted to match or beat. Now that being said I probably should have rephrased my earlier comment about the Porsche engineers. I know they have to think about the GTR when designing the TT but not so much with the GT3 as its not a true direct competitor. Just my thoughts.

Nevermind I said anything, I just wanted to know how the car feels so I have a good idea on how it drives.

Ok that makes a lot of sense. It seems each iteration becomes more refined. Im sure this will be a great car all around.

Maybe Porsche will offer a manual in the RS version in a year or so?

Clearly if Porsche needs to offer both PDK and manual in this car. BMW offers a manual in its new M5 and the upcoming M3/M4.

This was an initial preview....
I am sure that CH will do a more in depth review once the cars are officially released in about 6 weeks time to the press.

However, based on this short one, this car will meet all my expectations of what/how I thought it would be.

The bad part for me is I still have another 6 - 8 months to wait before I get mine !!!:mad:

Looks like this will be a killer street car! And I imagine Porsche will sell every one they make. However, I still don't think it's worthy to carry the 'GT3' badge. I guess only time will tell.

Google: Project 727 and Andreas Preuninger

what do you think, what will the 0-300 km/h , 0-186 km/h be in the new gt3 ? maybe 35s? or maybe an impossible time of 30s becuase of short gear ratios ?

Was Chris' car Rhodium Silver or GT Silver?

I think it that optional gt silver thats cost 1k

Then don't buy one. Problem solved.:)

I'll enjoy the heck out of mine for sure, regardless of the type of trans it uses.

I want!!!! That looks like Rhodium it has a bluish hue to it.

I just googled it, very interesting. I stand corrected, the Porsche engineers were definitely taking the GTR into account. The best part of the read is they were able to succeed. The bad part is they are selling the car that beat it for nearly 2-3X the cost of the GTR. Thanks for your post.

In an ideal scenario I am trying to keep my 07 GT3 for the track and get the 991 GT3 for weekend (nontrack fun)and sell my 2009 C4S with PDK. Still trying to get the delta manageable.
