Spec wise, id day the only real big thing to have would be lift and some sort of bucket seat.
Pccb desirable, and manual/pdk is personal preference. Everything else is ptetty much cosmetic.

Clubsport is the big spec item absent from that list.

Edited, agree

As for touring, for me i prefer the look of the wing

Yup. I toyed with going with no cage but decided I wanted it for the sense of occasion....glad I did. Although lightwieight is Manual. Llardy spec is PDK and Cage...PDK is 20 or 30kg more than Manual. So at least I don’t have PDK and a Cage!

Never understood some of the tiny weight saving arguments. Just loose some weight, or a passenger....

I bought the Top555 white Gt3, picked up last weekend, awesome car, manual and had more or less the same spec as the black one for sale! I don’t think there will be too many more manual cars coming up for sale with the right spec. I can’t imagine ever wanting to part with it!

Congrats, that was a great speck. How quickly did you buy it ? I know there was someone on this thread (geoff?) That asked about it and was told it was sold pretty quick.

I spotted someone on here had mentioned it on the Thursday (thanks to whoever that was!) I called on the Friday morning and got my deposit down later that day. I’ve been looking for a while. Had enquired about the one at JZM which I think you’ve got? I love the guards red but really wanted a manual so glad I held out until this one came up!

Too 555 have a very high spec white manual CS for £155k. Be interesting to see how they get on with it.

Yes, i took the jzm one, again after someone mentioned ot on here. I'd only seen one gt3 before that a week earlier parked on the road, and thought, hmmm thats looks rather nice. Asked a few questions on here and promptly put a deposit down, as the next car i was looking at was 10k more with similar spec. 1st Porsche ive driven, and what a car.

Glad to be of service! I keep an eye on the dealers social media accounts....and spend too much time looking at car classifieds They’re brilliant cars, glad to see more PH’ers getting hold of them.

Because a few bits can be a lot

No PDK, PCCB, bbs wheels, no cage, ti exhaust, lipo battery = a lot of weight.

My Spyder is 80kg lighter than a Boxster or my Cayman R was, you feel 80kg.
And it makes the car feel much more alive.

I guess the list above would be more than 80kg.

Yours is a great spec car too! I had a Gt4 so knew the Gt3 would be an amazing car and after reading everything on here couldn’t resist making the jump and so glad now that I have! I picked it up on the Saturday lunch time and just kept driving all afternoon!!

I definitely owe you a pint! Top555 do too after you helped them sell the car so quickly!

I was about to suggest Sapphire Blue as OPC Silverstone listed a high spec manual car last week, I think it looks great on the GT3. But seems to have sold was up for just under £163k.

Good luck, I love mine.

Called in Silverstone yesterday I think the Sapphire car sold but they have a GR and a Crayon (I think) (just in awaiting prep) GT3 both PDK though.

The Redline Sapphire blue car low mileage good spec 'manuel' is available at £160k.

Intersting ... GR .
