Why not have all the fun of a normal GT3 while flying well under the radar?

I don't know what American tracks or even roads you've driven in bud.
Maybe the state troopers and highway patrol with their big guns scared you.
There is a lot of FAST FUN to be had on american roads and on tracks at very fast speeds. I lived in Europe and drove plenty on the Autobahn at top speed on two wheels. Some tracks in the US will make you want to have all the downforce you can get

There is a lot of FAST FUN to be had in american roads in and out of track at much faster speeds. I lived in Europe and drove plenty on the Autobahn in two wheel. Some tracks in the US will make you want to have all the downforce you can get
My point was I'd rather have the fun without the flash. It's good to have choice.

If I'm not mistaken, the downforce comes from the upgrades underneath the vehicle which eliminates the wing.
hard decision for me as I loose my PTS option if I choose the touring model. I have a month to decide...

bli8 is infamous around these partsbli8 is infamous around these parts
For me, too big of a wing is too much and no wing is too plain, so how about a duck tail???

hi guys,

just ordered my jet black metallic 991 GT3 touring. It will arrive in april 2018 ;-)
in case that the 3-D animation does not work and in the case that the 2-D pics show the "normal GT3"
you should remove the rear camera from the option list an voila the GT3 touring will appear.

best regards Klaus

If there's no production limits, are there any dealership willing to sell these cars at MSRP?

From what I was told, no. Mine quoted me 50k over MSRP.
