Mine, a GT3.2 average is 18mpg...My .1 returned a average of 21mpg.
bloody good these GT3's

my m3 ave 17 and my GT4 also 17

GT3 is much better :-)
2000 miles in I've no clue on the mpg of mine....I've never looked!
Haha,

Have a look, buddy, on your Car Connect App.Go to - My Car / Last Trip and then scroll across for general Consumption. Easily get these cars in the 22mpg with boring driving style.

I think my .2 will get better too with more miles on her..

back to prices there is a .2 RS now for £234k as .2 drop this can only put the .1 RS down more.
Check out the Leeds 991.2 GT3 @ £148k! Huge spec - list must be £135k?

lucky the cheapest manual is £157k and only 9 cars.

Yellow seems a poor seller for some reason on the GT3 where the GT4's in yellow were ok sellers. No car at leeds so I take it's the Sheffield car.

I've done just over 2600 miles and my average is 24.8mpg (average speed 50mph)

Living on the England/Scotland border helps as we don't get any traffic jams up here biggrin

I managed 29mpg on a drive over the A66 and NY moors to Whitby in June but I did have my 8yo daughter in the car with me and I was in a Porsche convoy.

Great spec car at a attractive price compared to other advertised and for some the all important PDK box. I’m surprised how popular the orders were for the pdk box. Shows many now prefer the pdk box over a manual box.

The question is does this now make a manual car less attractive which will make it cheaper and less desirable or will it drive manual prices up due to the lower build numbers?

I suspect PDK will remain the most popular and desirable in the short term. Manuals will be a niche choice and I would guess they'll be the same price or slightly cheaper. It seems that way for 991 series 911s and 981 series Caysters.

If you want manual GT3 you're more likely to want a Touring IMHO.

Don't agree there will always be an enthusiast looking for a manual GT3 N/A with a cage and a big wing. A proper GT3.
Ask 911R smile

I'm not saying there won't be demand for one, otherwise prices would drop further than PDK cars. I just think the (limited) demand will match the (limited) supply so they'll cancel out, whereas I think Touring demand will outstrip supply.

All IMHO of course smile

I never thought of it that way!

Thinking about it the 911 touring is the perfect all round 911 without the 911r price tag.

Hold out and they will be below list soon looking at the current market!

Shaking out the speculators day by day if you ask me, 991r will be selling up soon if he can👍

It’s a forum, no ones right or wrong... most are car enthusiasts just playing along 👍...

I’ll have some of the Leroy roots geo as the front right tyre on my gts looks like it could do with some spicing up... god dam pot holes and speed bumps.

What was the spec of the .2 in Leeds mentioned a few posts above ?

Why is the Red GT3 in Leeds up at 190 K?? How is that price 'justificated'. Prices in OPC's seem to be more or less aligned with similar specced cars. What am I missing here ?
