I am number one on the list for a GT3 at a socal dealership but have passed until the Sport Buckets are approved. Apparently I am number 6 for an RS at this same dealership.

If the Sport Buckets get released in the spring (per a rumor) I will go ahead and take delivery this summer.

 

that car you passed on it probably appreciated 50k since then, btw, you know the plastic handle you crave so much is connected to a wire don't you?

 

It's an amazing car and I acknowledge that, good deal.

You don't agree with my point of view on the handles and I respect that.
Unfortunately I do not think the same, and think that straps for handles in the GT3RS, or even a boxster spyder (whether it's a statement or not, I do not actually care) are are ridiculous and out of place.

 

I also always thought there were a bit of a ricer statement myself. Let's add some weight with an alcantara headliner yet save 3 oz with a door strap.

I wonder if handles could be retrofit?

 

I was looking at the Porsche website and they show the RS as coming with a 6 sp manual. If that's true, I would definitely go with the RS.

 

Interesting. I searched the web site and only saw info on the 2011 GT3 RS 4.0, which had a manual. Can you cut and paste the info that you found?

Thanks

I acutally will likely go with PDK regardless... its the wave of the future. I have a Scuderia now to keep me entertained since I sold my 2010 GT3 last year and, although its a single clutch, I couldnt imagine the car with a manual tranny. It just "fits". I think the same will end up being said with the 991 GT3/RS.

 

I think you're right, the factory website still shows the RS 4.0... I was thrown off by the footnotes that say some specs are still unverified. Time to update the website eh?

 

wait for the RS

 

Probably not the right car for him then - maybe a Toyota Prius would be more appropriate for your relative!

 

straps are awesome, I wish I could have framed windows with cranks to save weight
