I won’t be buying any new cars going forward, the attitude and the ppf and the eps is all too much.
Might go and buy a old v8 4.7 vantage as least people will let you out a side road and not much sounds better, and the steering works. £55k what’s not to like. And get Banford rose to look after it at 1/2 the price. My OH said at 50 I was allowed an Aston.
You might find the servicing on the AM is not as cheap as you think even at an independent like BR.Might go and buy a old v8 4.7 vantage as least people will let you out a side road and not much sounds better, and the steering works. £55k what’s not to like.

This is silly really... letter of the 'law' being blindly applied.... I thought that Porsche was better than this... but maybe that's just the sub-culture rather that the official part of the brand itself.
I’m not sure you could expect any other answer....whoever said that has got no real idea what Porsche’s attitude is going to be to any given warranty claim....their policy can change etc and as we all know from posts on this forum the policy is at best inconsistent. And obviously for said employee there is absolutely zero upside for them saying anything elseI doubt there are many people on here that provide a warranty with any products they sell/manufacture that don’t have a similar policy regarding modifications.
I don’t think Porsche have carte blanche on warranty claims....they would have to be reasonable.
My issue here is that this is an OEM option that is affixed with bolts, and not structural. If it was welded in i would say of course not.
You are asking the dealership to remove it with their approved tools and techniques and will pay them. And they say no? When it has no material impact other than you now cannot affix a harness. They produce the car with and without the cage.… bolt on option. It used to be delivered unconstructed for 911, I think and only built during PDI. Not sure if that’s still the case, if so, no reason for them to not be able to support.
I’m just saying (irrationally) that I don’t agree with it… and that somehow they should take a more accommodating approach.
Hi guys took the plunge and went for a LHD (will be based in Germany) version GT3RS WP Oct 19 delivered but never registered. Would love to get hold of the Aura mag wheels however not sure how that will look haven't come across a pic in Lizard green spec and these rims. I believe it should suit it well.

Nice one,there is a pic of car like yours for sale on this site with gold wheels on,looks okGold wheels and yellow callipers are a bit of a Faux Pa, they never look good on any of the GT3 cars.
That Lizard Green car looks spot on just as it is.
Get out and enjoy it.
I am looking to upgrade my GT3 to an RS after having a drive in a friends 3RS, I could not believe the difference.
They are a special car.

Four owners....presumably none of whom bought it with the intention of actually using it properly.

what did you gain the difference was ?
Two things surprised me.
1) On paper the 3RS is supposed to be only 20BHP more powerful, the 3RS felt like it had 100BHP more than my GT3 and the PDK was faster and more aggressive.
2) The second was the turn in on slow and fast corners, the front end feels so much more planted and just goes where you point it, maybe greater aero is playing a part, but the RS just feels like a race car!
And that is what makes it feel special.
If you have a GT3, like me, then do not test drive a GT3RS, it will cost you 100K.
