Buying a new GT3 / dilemma

Hello old fellows ;-)
I m now decided to buy a GT3. I still have one allocation available somewhere in Europe 5 I don't want to say where, for sure

)
BUT
I want to know, (if someone knows something) when MK2 will be released.
If it is september 2008 for delivery winter 2008, NO MERCI
If this is 2009, delivery model year 2010, I can buy one and wil place an order for the next one.
Do you guys have some clues ? Thanks for sharing.

No idea about GT3 specifically, but 997 facelift is March 2008 build for delivery April/May.

Hope this helps!

Re: Buying a new GT3 / dilemma

Looking at the timeline of the 997 vs 996, the 997 was launched in 2004, facelift likely 2008, 996 launched 1997, facelift 2001, so pretty much identical..................
With the 996GT3 series the mark 1 was launched in 1999, the facelift in 2003, this means 2010 for the facelift, even if they move it forward a bit then this will be 2009!
All based on past performance & IMO of course!

This is probably it. Not unless they feel the need to push things forward a bit due to competition. I've heard talk of a limited edition 3.8L GT3R with carbon fiber roof, street car, possibly next year.

Re: Buying a new GT3 / dilemma

IT is probably difficult to find one at mrsp in the States resp. canada.

To be honnest, I ve dealt 5 % discount witht the dealer.

But you must know that we are paying a lot more in Europe for the same car than you ....

GT3 R : Is it a reliable rumor ?? I will wait for .....

RC, can you give us your advice ???
