@Yellow,no not a member and never will be.

I fancied a Mac but gone off them, I followed one on the road over here and the suspension looked superb on it. Me dealer buddy had a 720 in or might of been the 620 , something like that, I jumped in it and it wouldn’t start, we couldn’t get it to go , very very low seat position in it as well which am not to fond of, kept coming back with does not recognise key, he had it on SOR for someone, only other local one I know was on a low loader going back to Mac for repair.Nice brand and looks , but don’t think I’d chance one for reliability.

Now i remember why i hardly post on here. I was given the Jan 27th configurator date back in December when i was given that info when i accepted the offer of a GT3. If the embargo is pushed back then obviously it will not be on the configurator. Good luck guys i'm off again because of the idiots. I know what i have coming and when its due. If i can be bothered i will post a pic in the summer of my PTS GT3 rolleyes
I wish you the very best of luck in securing an allocation for a 992GT3.laugh

So back to my original question, now the January release date seems to have passed are we now saying it is the 16th Feb for the GT3 release date now?

And what about the 992 GTS? does anyone know about that release date?

Because I am thinking, if the GT3 price is a silly increase I will order a GTS instead.

Thank you for any feedback.

The 992GTS will be a great everyday 911 with one caveat in that it'll be better with the Manual IMO. The new 992 8 speed PDK is a little too smooth and civilised for its own good and 35KG heavier than the Manual.

You can’t go making statements like that without making statement so we can all understand you gravitas as a special customer of your OPC smile

How forgetful of me not to grade my relationship with my local OPC, sadly not a black/platinum/diamond VIP member! As such, you can take my information with a pinch of salt as I obviously don’t know what I am taking about.. 😉😉

One day it will return to the norm I guess - If you have the money and you want to buy a car,

you'll be able to do it without being on a "special list " rofl

Agree.

I buy Porsches because I enjoy the whole range they produce, I've only just taken a huge 30k bath on my cayenne TurboS but im not bitter about it, I went in with eyes wide open, what with all the COVID going on, these cars for all of us, are a third world issues, they really are!, but it keeps us going with the new reveals and we all look forward to them don't we.

This Inner 'Black circus'..... really??

I have been battling for years to gain access to the GT 'Halo' products, do I feel I'm entitled.. no. My OPC's just understand that I wish to be thought about when the time comes for a GT reveal, i never ask anymore than that.

Currently have a Taycan Turbo which i have to say is absolutely awesome! one of the best cars Porsche have produced, rides like a Rolls Royce and goes like a 2RS! you guys really need to jump in one, great cars
