dude, if money grows on a tree, sure I would already have bought it

I just don't want to make bad decision in this, and stuck with it. It's not like buying a car with 30 days money back guarantee, so getting opinions from people that KNOWS Porches are probably a smart idea.

I would agree. It is amazing how free folks are with other people's money!

Good luck on your decision.

The one I drove was very loud in the most awesome way. That is what I meant by "you wouldn't hear them"

I would drive it before I got opinions. You have no idea online about who knows what about anything. Let your butt(as in seat of pants) and heart decide if you want it. Then let BruceLee hit you with reality(the list above) and you can decide if you need it.


Would it have been better if I said "If you wanted it, it woud have let you know"


I wish I could rent a GT3 or be in a fractional ownership. it is a very tightly focused car, so a lot of money for one purpose.

Not to be Mr. Knowitall here, but that picture is not that of
a 997 GT3.

Note several things:

The sunroof
The wheels
The exhaust

And last, but not least, they are not out yet.

And it certainly is not an '05, which was a 996 based car.

Hope this helps...

Dealer explained that it is an "euro version". I'm gonna test drive it tomorrow and see how it goes.

The center radiator vent, in front of the trunk cover is also missing.

THere is a nice article on the GT3 in "christophorus 320".
