I'm assuming they are already all sold.

Nice car for sure, but I still rather have a GT3.

Interesting question on this v a GT3. I like the GT3 a whole lot, but a RWD manual turbo is a compelling proposition.

I'm over the RWD-only thing - for certain cars.

Cars nowadays have so much torque and power, I'll take the AWD on my daily driver and around town car. For my fun car? Sure I'll take RWD, but I'd also prefer a NA engine.

I liked the M3 a lot, but at times I did wonder if it would be better with AWD. Problem is, I don't want the AWD weight penalty.

Back on point, the 997TT was awesome. I had the MT for fun, but the AWD+sticky tires made it a lot less dramatic to hook the car and go fast. I won't judge this new P-car based on my experiences with a car from 15 years ago though. The implementation could be quite excellent. It probably is.

Make it a Touring and that is the route I would probably go.


I heard today that our local Porsche dealer has a two year wait for 911s. Probably worth the wait since they are not tacking on a ADM.

That's really nice. I could do without the stripes and the Fuchs wheels (yeah, I know that probably is a part that goes into the "Classic" title), but it's not a deal breaker, unlike the price and likely ADM.
