You two seem to think you're better than everyone else on here because you get offered first slots on every latest Porsche GT. The only reason you got offered one of the first 992GT3s is that you flip back through your OPC ASAP. IIRC you both had RS WP cars as well, could you remind everyone here how long you kept these cars !. It can probably be measured in weeks at the most !. I've still got mine and told my OPC from the outset i had no intention of flipping it just to get an early 992GT3.
You two aren't unique as there are a couple of others here who show off pictures of their 992GT3 with a history of flipping them just so they can get the next latest one.
The 992GT3 is a great car but a huge pity they don't get allocated to guys who intend keeping them for at least a couple of years rather than chasing the next one as soon as they take ownership.
There are plenty on here who have already got a 992GT3 and intend enjoying tracking and driving them for a long time and they have my full respect.
Firsty. Its people like you is why i do not post here much

secondly, My post wasn't about you but your chip on your shoulder and paranoia has made it about you

thirdly, you know nothing about me. I never had a 3RSWP and have owned all my cars for at least 2 years with the exception of my 991.2gt3 because that got traded for the 3RS. I reluctantly sold my 3RS after 2 years to pay off my ex wife so you can stick your post and theories up your ar$s sheep boy
I tend to believe the very short term flip back to OPC is a myth. OPCs would probably struggle to justify a flip after weeks. You would do it with a private dealership and as a one off probably…
Although I can just speak for myself and the few people I know, usually we keep the car until the next model and yes, it makes sense to keep the business fair for both party and sell back to the OPC.

Makes me laugh the amount of guys that point blank slated the 992 GT3.... Now its growing on them
Haha yes, the amount of people that ending up eating their words on here is hysterical. People convincing theirselves they don’t like the car because they didn’t get offered one
Not me. I still think it looks like ste and I don't see what all the fuss is about.

Wrong again!

Steady on Shirley keep your hair on...

Had my RS for a year tracked the ass out of it and sold on..

All my cars go back to my suppling dealer and whatever overs they want to sell for they can crack on, has nothing to do with me.

I buy all the range and I'm not one of the guys that holds out for the 'halo only cars'

I buy Taycans, Cayennes, macans, 911's because I Love the brand, lost loads on Flagships Cayennes big hits on the Vanilla 911's..

I'm not sure what your issue is with me, and why you have one? Like everyone on here I like what I like and I don't like what I don't like, regardless of what I currently own. I admit I have specific and narrow tastes but we all like different things don't we?

I thought you of all people might understand that more than most...

Thanks, generally not a fan of black wheels but appreciate some combinations need them. Was going to go for the gold but when I saw pics of the neodyme quickly changed them to silver

Interesting comment on the glass.

I’ve seen a video today of a press car, were a side quarter window has cracked under weight of someone leaning into the car to get something out of the rear.

Seemed to shatter or crack where the hand might have been.




Nevertheless, glad people are enjoying these.
I knew these would be good. Big fan of the big step in the direction to even more performance focused and being so closely related to the race car.

My lizard RS picked up a stone chip on the rear quarter that cracked it…. £1000 to change it. I never changed it!
