I hear the GTS ride is “brutal” per C&D. Not sure what that means exactly, but I’ve also heard that while “pretty wild” it’s still more comfortable and less of a handful than a GT3.

Is the GT3 that extreme for the street? Even in Touring form?

Curious to hear the thoughts from people here.

Spike Feresten recently had the 992 Turbo’s Pirelli Zero (PZ4) put on the ‘Plan Z’ GT3 T that him and Paul Zuckerman are sharing. He did it per the advice of Jerry Seinfeld. Apparently it made a difference in the ride and excessive tire noise. Spike has caught a lot of backlash for doing this as there are individuals that are stating why not just get the turbo if ride comfort is so important?

GT3 Touring has the same suspension as non-Touring, doesn’t it?

Per Jonny Liberman during one of the SCR episodes the Touring is 100+ lbs heavier in the rear due to the electric rear spoiler and because of such the rear suspension is tuned slightly different from the regular GT3.

I’m being patient.

The dealer has a 2018 GT3 6speed. Nice price. But I’m kind of over it.

I’m looking forward to my own GTS allocation. It will be my first new Porsche.

I had the Turbo S serviced today. People love it. I think it will sell well —I’m probably going to get a CPO 992 Turbo S when I can. And obviously that will happen before any GTS shows up.

Okay. Am re-thinking the passing on the CPO 991.2 GT3 today.
