I'm thinking about getting a GT3, one question which I can hear the howls of derrision now for, do they have the token rear seats of other 911s?
It assists in me proving to the wife what a responsible family guy I am!

Nope, no rear seats in any generation of GT3.

No.
They could be retro-fitted and several people have done it. You would need to use original parts, and you would need the folding sports seats and no cage. And, of course you should notify your insurers.
Apparently they can't be fitted in the 997.2 GT3 as the seat bowls are only single skinned.

Try an M3 CSL - it's like a GT3 with proper rear seats.

What does it look like?? the new gt3 is only just out, so there may be a short delay in offering the aerokit. Unless they've decided to not offer aerokit this time, but that's doubtful.

I'm thinking maybe a 911s with the aero kit instead of a GT3, will still have the rear seats and look good, to me normal 911s can look a bit bland.

And your point is???? You can't compare a "3 series with a sports trim" to a GT3...There's no comparison

Get the Targa as rare as a GT and a bit different has rear seats and a fab glass roof, and a silver detail over the windows.
I just think they look really fab, which is obviously no reason for you to buy one, but they are a bit special and thats no lie.

A 3 series with sports trim - oh how little you know... I changed my CSL to a GT3 because I always wanted one, and I prefer it - it's a better track car (but not by a long way) but not as good on UK roads (mine is aggressively set up for the track). But please..... One thing I have come to learn from Porsche forums is how stuck up their arses so many people are - thinking that other cars just don't compare. I rate the CSL because it is a proper drivers car - there are a good number that know it and these peeps have respect for both GT3s and CSLs and would never make the comments said by some on here. I challenge any doubters to get a drive in one (a decent drive) and come back on here and say you weren't totally surprised by how good it is. Unless of course you were only interested in how good it looked in the reflection in the shop windows as you drove up the high street...
