Sell ALL your cars apart from the 987 Spyder and buy an F458 Speciale. You know that engine is what you really want

I did the maths still cannot afford it lol

Do some “man maths”— always seems to make things more achievable....!! Sell me your manual GT3, and my wife the 987 Spyder (she’s always hated me for selling that car...!!): you know it’s the right move...

ahh the perfect pair of cars..... sadly would only sell both at the daft money end of the scale atm.

..... Was worth a shot....

I am finding all automatics dull atm, they feel so like my sim racer rig, and for that they feel slow as I can drive a 919 :-)
I want more interaction in a car a LOT more.

let hope the 600 LT brings a bit of fun back into the brand but I doubt it, they are one trick ponies, with Ferrari issues !!!

..... Even my sim racing rig has a MT...!! If, like me, you’re a real manual “die-hard”, the latest GT3 is still hard to beat imo.... Yes, it’s (a lot) heavier than the Maccas, but I have to agree with 911R, speed isn’t EVERYTHING here.... (Pretty sure there was a whole thread a while back on the current obsession with chasing numbers....??).... Big numbers are great for pub-talk, but it’s the real-world day to day driving experience that matters most to me.... A manual Porsche GT car is hard to beat in that respect.... In truth, my 987 Spyder was more than enough for me on current British roads but, like many, I got pushed towards the GT4 because of the “bigger numbers”..... Not always a good thing.... Having test driven a few Gen2 GT3s, I do sometimes wonder whether my GT4 is actually “enough” for most roads these days.... It’s got power that you can use, and have to actually work for... Now that, for me, is driving pleasure...! Just my opinion....

There seem to be plenty of very low mileage 991.1 GT3 RS's around all of a sudden....presumably all owned by people who now have a 991.2 GT3 RS which they're not going to use either.

Whether they're 991.2 GT3's or 991.1 GT3 RS's that I assume the dealers have taken in PX against 991.2 GT3 RS's they're going to have big margins on them so think we'll see prices getting reduced pretty quickly. Some cars have been reduced by £5k already.

Yup— my local OPC has just reduced ALL of it’s 991.2 GT3s by £5k (more in some cases).... Part of the reason I’m holding out on pulling the trigger on one— prices appear to be dropping weekly atm....
