I love guards red, personally, and absolutely would not want PCCB.

There are a several 2018s available locally, but none of them are CPO (which matters).
Sorry since this probably been discussed before but is there no way in hell to get a new gt3 allocation?

Seems crazy to me to pay that much, even if you pay some markup you still might be ahead or at least similar price.

(I agree on both counts)

((What changed my mind a little about PCCB is Chris Harris talking about his 991.2 GT3 Touring, on which he has put 50,000 miles —he says get the PCCBs))

(((50,000 miles!!!!!)))

The additional dealer markup is $100,000….everywhere.

And there might not even be enough production to get a new GT3 before the switch to all EV 911s.

That is quite a long time…

I thought Porsche stated that the 911 would not be going EV anytime soon?

994 will be hybrid and 998 will be all EV apparently, per Panorama this month’s issue.

Can you guys point me to a place where I can read about a 2010/2011 GT3 6spd and how different it is to move to the 2018 GT3?

Can i discount the 2010 out of hand because they have the motors which grenade?

There is still a ton of speculation as to what the 994 will be, especially with four years until a possible debut.

Side note, I have yet to unwrap a Panorama and I have been a member for for maybe a year. The same can be said for the Roundel for the past 12-18 months. Am I missing anything in regards to the Panorama?

Panorama sometimes has interesting articles and photography. Roundel mostly doesn’t, though there was a good piece on younger enthusiasts a couple of months ago.

My 0.02, The quality of the Roundel has significantly declined and I am speaking from 30+ years as a BMW CCA member. I have been considering dropping my membership when it expires. I am losing interest daily and BMW’s future looks fairly bleak.
