Anyone else get banned from the G8X section for making fun of its looks?

The article also compares the 992 PASM to the 991.2 and shows how much of a leap was made. Porsche sure do their engineering homework and openly share it with owners/fans for them to geek out. I wish BMW would do the same.

EDIT: Found it

I'm curious on any tech documents I can read up on the 718 gt4 or stuff o.O

My point is, when you get near the delivery date, see if the dealer can top your rate - even a .5 percentage point drop can mean $$$ saved.

Sweet! I'll do that. Which CU did you end up going with?

I must have slipped through the banned cracks as I was able to comment on it and call it a Bitchin Camaro.

Sedan_Clan might want to get that GT3 even sooner now.

We had anticipated an updated regulation at time of launch, but this process is not yet complete. The seven-speed PDK option has received full certification.

Also the 992 Touring is absolutely gorgeous

I saw that an hour ago and almost choked. What a loss for the GT3 camp.

P.S. The Touring would be my choice. I don't like the rear wing on the new GT3 at all.

fiveohwblow · 06-15-2021, 08:46 PM

P cars should not exist without a wing/spoiler. Fight me.

I don't mind the Touring because it does it job of hiding the, "Everyone look at me!" Vibe GT cars tend to have. Never be too careful with haters honestly.

992 wing is a bit wacky for my taste, some spied photos of the 992 GT3RS is even worse lol, even though it is apparently active.

.2 RS wing is about right.

Oh, thank goodness for Cali government minders. If they hadn't stepped in, maybe 7 992 manual GT3's could have been roaming the state's 163 thousand square miles at any given time. Keep up the good work fellas.

With you until this 992 gen. GT3 looks considerably better as a Touring.

I'd have the winged version, though. Because racecar.
