I instructed a decent driver in an RS about two months ago and it was a game changer for me. He was advanced and could drive the car well, he was picking up what I was throwing down and it was incredible. I felt like I could drive the car from the passenger seat. The sounds were unreal and the braking just on another level. My neck was actually fatigued after just two sessions. Needless to say I want one!

You lucky dog! Those paddles, though...

Yes, I traded the GT4. Still have the ZR1. Will never get rid of it methinks. You can get manual in the 991.2 GT3 but I prefer the PDK-S. It’s very fast, but not as brutal feeling as the ZR1. The ZR1 feels faster rolling acceleration, but make no mistake, this 4.0 9000rpm flat six and 7-speed PDK-S is very capable. It builds speed very fast and sounds incredible as you climb to redline.
These cars are hard hard to buy especially at MSRP. Many go over. I got lucky to have a good salesman and dealership with a good relationship so I got MSRP with no strings attached. Definitely lucky and thankful.

I can't wait to hear how it stacks up to your ZR-1 on track. You were setting the world on fire in that thing. Haha.

Congratulations!
I've inquired at multiple dealers here in Socal for a GT3 but all are asking north of $20k... I absolutely refuse to pay a penny more over MSRP so im going to be patient and hold off until I get one. Most out of state dealers won't deal with a complete stranger that's out of state... They have their own local clients they need to cater to and i totally understand that.
Im a little reluctant to let the GT4 go... I may do it for an open allocation on a GT3 I can spec. We'll see, im a little hesitant on spending that kind of cash at this time.
Look forward to seeing more pictures. Congrats again bud.
P.S... C7 ZR1 coming... Are you buying??

Very nice! GT3 just keeps getting better and better. I like a nice manual but in certain cars the flappy paddle setups just plain work. My F80 M3, for one. Enjoy it, the GT3 pretty much sits alone on my bucket list at this point.
