991 GT§

[NIgt3]

Anybody read the thread in the GT section of teanspeed? Supposedly new GT3 to have 4wheel steering, Definately PDK only and a price increase of 20,000Euro for the european market! Looks like the older GT3´s might keep their price for a little while longer.

I may be pleased about the effect this could have on my 997.1 GT3 in Guards red.

Up until the point when it posts a 6.58 at the ring

Hahaha so true. Bet it'll be a freaking monster with a suitably impressive time.

The 991 is really growing on me. Seeing how 'cheap' (all things being relative) they are in the US, I might get one on a 2 year lease deal.

Back in blighty, I think the (watercooled) 911 peaked for me at the 997.1 RS.

Sensible wheel bolts, in tyre sizes that didn't limit you to PS Cups or Pirelli equivalent. A magnificently strong engine (notwithstanding the rare coolant pipe bonding issue), a noise to die for, mated to a fantastic 6 speed manual and all mounted in an epic stiff chassis. In terms of usable driver fun, this is the pinnacle of usable watercooled pork that you can comfortably use to tour europe. I'd be more than a little annoyed travelling at double-decker bus speeds up in the Alps on PS Cups because on one day it rained and left some standing water, or out in Estonia with a flat tyre and not being able to get the bloody thing off 'cos nobody has the daft Porsche wheel bolt tool.

No, 997.1 RS. Win win win.

Same as the 997.2 GT3 then. 430 plays 410 in the C2S w/power kit.

4 wheel steering seems a bit off the mark, coud be interesting though,

Evo magazine are convinced that the Metzger has seen it's final days in production road cars.

Great. The achilles heel of the 964 excluding the RS and Turbo

Do you mean the 993 Graeme, ie Weissach axle passive rear wheel steer from the 928?

No. Unlike the 964 RS and Turbo the standard 964 had large rubber bushes in the rear trailing arms to create passive rear wheel steer.
