Unarguably the new gt3 with whatever engine they put will be faster than its predecessor.

The pdk will be fast, power will be easily accessible and you will see faster lap times. Lets hope the gearbox is a step ahead from the panamera and 997.2 turbo and as sweet as Ferraris 458(one of the best dsgs at the moment imo).

Now about reliability, I wouldn't worry about that much if Porsche were to base it's cup cars on the new gt3. Those cars go through hell and are bulletproof

There is one allocation next to me in RI and there will be an unveiling party in the future.
RI is getting one? I thought when we went they said they weren't..... Anyways can I be your +2?!?

Are you serious or is this an April fools day joke?

From your three Porsches- youre selling the most exclusive one, the most expensive one..to get a "basic" 991 GT3.(?)

This is like going from a first class super model (Paris Hilton, Kate Upton etc) to an average women from next doors..

PS: There will come a time when you will deeply regret this decision (especially if you intend to track the new GT3)..but its your decision..
