    Not sure. Acording to rumors PTS will not be available but we have heared that story before with the .1 RS and see what happened. 

    It will also depend on the new colors offered for the car . 

    If I would be 100% sure this RS would be the last NA then I would want to make special with PTS but now I am not convinced at all anymore that the next GT s will take the turbo route.

    Nick, how often have you been to the track and track raced your car(s) properly? Smiley

    I was never interested in GT cars because I lost interest in track racing at around age 40+. The reason is simple: I did my share of track racing, professional racing, semi-professional racing back in the days, even some crazy shit I am not proud of and while I am pretty sure I can still learn a lot, there isn't much I would get in return, emotionally, by track racing. My family comes first, then I spend some time with a few (exclusive) friends who don't like to brag about our meets because they don't need to. I wish I could post photos and tell you names but you probably wouldn't believe me anyway. Smiley So if you found your love for the track (and/or GT cars), this is absolutely great. At some age, men need to decide if they want to spend their money on divorces, girlfriends being a sugar daddy) or...cars, maybe motorcycles. For me, this is different because I basically did anything a car nut would desire to do. I only wish I had more money to fulfill some of my car dreams. Which brings me to the main point here: I learned to set priorities. Family first, hobby second. This is why I never got a GT car, it would be even more pointless than the R8 I got. At least I drive it from time to time with some friends together and I can enjoy it, including the fact that I pay so little money for this toy. 

    Long story short: You are probably there were I was over 25 years ago. Only with more money and less hair. Smiley Smiley

    All I know is that Porsche will "try" to offer n/a GT cars in the future as well but mainly as some sort of special edition models. This could mean 500 cars, this could mean 5000 cars. Smiley 
    Also, let's be real here: The current particulate filter initiative for petrol cars in Europe is probably a direct consequence of the Diesel scandal. So if a similar scandal (or whatever negative story the media finds to spread) happens in a year or two, it is very likely that Porsche (and most other car manufacturers) will change their model strategy.

    So even if Preuninger would tell us now "yes, there will be future n/a GT models", in 12 months, this can be obsolete.

    Get what you really think you like and don't think about resale value or whatever. It is a dangerous game and can be exhausting. Smiley

    Re: 991.2 GT3 RS Thread Closed

    Christian, you totally misunderstood my response. I was not castigating your interest in when the RS will be announced. I just was puzzled why you seemed upset you the dates were not accurate. Thus my comment about why do you care.

    FWIW, I have had my share of racing and track work. What changed for me was the insurance requirements and what happened to Ben. It gave me a different perspective not unlike yours. Nevertheless, I buy the GT cars because from a value standpoint they are unbeatable and provide me albeit limited opportunities to experience the exhilaration of  performance driving which is for the most part unequalled. 

    That said, if I had a track within a hour drive I would reconsider tracking the car. Right now I would have at least a two hour drive each way if no traffic. Equally important would be the organization sponsoring the event.

    Of course Nick... Smiley Yes, I care because I spend a lot of time talking to people and collecting information and I find it a bit strange when I do not have certain dates, which are widely know (to "insiders").

    FWIW, I have had my share of racing and track work. What changed for me was the insurance requirements and what happened to Ben. It gave me a different perspective not unlike yours.

    I don't really care why you buy them, they are fantastic and fun, so who cares?! Just wanted to make a point that I am not interested in GT cars because they do not make sense for me. Unfortunately. With more time (and money), I would certainly have a GT Porsche in my garage, no doubt about it.

    That said, if I had a track within a hour drive I would reconsider tracking the car. Right now I would have at least a two hour drive each way if no traffic. Equally important would be the organization sponsoring the event. 

    A little suggestion: Find other people who love to drive to the track and even the two hour drive can be fun. We have the mountains, lots of curvy roads where the speed limit is 100 kph but you really cannot be much faster, unless you want to kill yourself. Probably one of the (rare) perks of living in Bavaria close to Austria and not in Florida. Smiley Smiley

    two cars one with and without!! I have some doubt. Need more modification like just the parts ( the filter). Motronic etc and the sound change,the power curve is not the same without some modification (interns and setup ( plugs etc)) its not simple like change an air filter...

    Re: 991.2 GT3 RS Thread Closed

    As far as I heard, the particulate filter needs more adaption and eats more power than the catalysators we got 20 years ago. But nevertheless I believe in the second wave of RS after the factory holidays. They need to build more cars. Not enough time from march to july. They need a bigger number of cars to make enough profit with the RS. This is important to get green light for the next RS (with hopefully a N/A engine).
