The GT3 non RS is what the GTS should be. That's why it is infuriating and insulting that they don't offer rear seats and convertible.

If Porsche would make a GT3 Cabrio they would be the laughing stock and would loose all their hard earnt respect from sportscar enthusiasts around the world.

The GT3 is not a carbon tub mid-engined two seater, a "911" GT3 made cabrio would be very heavy rendering all its weight saving features null and impact its handling and performance advantages, the decreased chasis stiffness of the cabrio 911 chasis would also compromise its handling to the point that 991 Cabrio versions cannot even have the stiffer GT3-like -20mm sport suspension optioned because of this decreases chasis stiffness, all GT3 aerodynamics would be completely shot and useless.... it would be like a GT3 optioned with 4x4 off road tires and shocks, makes no sense and would defeat the whole purpose of the GT3, and the fact that its all traded in for the ability to cruise opentop makes it even worse, would give it a poseur stigma since it will not drive anywhere near like a GT3 just carry the badge. None of the GT3 owners here would touch that "thing" with a 10 foot pole.

That's your opinion. But IMHO it is flawed:
there is no reason to think that a GT3 cabrio improvements vs a GTS cabrio would not be close to the difference between a coupe GT3 and a coupe GTS.

You want to compare a GT3 cabrio vs a GT3 coupe performance and say the GT3 cabrio will not be as good as the GT3 coupe. Of course it won't, but you are completely missing the real relevant question: how will it compare to a GTS cabrio and a turbo S cabrio? How will it compare to 488, McLaren and Huracan open tops?

You are a coupe guy, fine. But many here would always opt for the extra enjoyment of the open top for an acceptable loss of performance, a gap which has reduced with every new generation of cars. Porsche simply does not offer an acceptable driver oriented exclusive convertible sport car (918 aside).

As far as a GT3 being a poseur car, sorry but to me the 991 normal GT3 owners are the poseurs. Why? Well the RS is a track oriented car, the normal GT3 is more of a daily driver confortable car that can handle occasional track, but tacked with a huge wing and aggressive design. Yet many will never even come close to a track. So who are the poseurs again?
