Dealer said I could get a GT3, but…

That's normal. The GT3 Touring is in higher demand than the regular GT3.

 

What I find curious is how GT3’s seem to be everywhere but base 911’s are nowhere to be found.

 

Porsche has their noise in the air. If they said that to me I would tell them to kiss my ass.

 

True, wings everywhere.

The Porsche Palm Springs showroom looked more like an Air Force base last time I was there.

I heard from my dealer the GT3 Touring were limited and the other GT3s were not? I wasn’t in the market for a GT3 or a GT3 Touring as I had no plans to track my car so I didn’t ask about getting an allocation for either. Since I have only purchased 4 cars from that dealer, so likely I would not be high enough to get an allocation if I had wanted one? But I evidently was high enough to get an allocation for a Turbo S which I now have for six months.

 

Winged gt3 to non wing- 3:1 ratio. Touring more rare. Winged better looking.

 

What is your opinion of your new Turbo S?

 

Pretty much as I expected having owned a 997.1 Turbo and a 997.2 Turbo S. The 22 992 TS is quite a bit quicker, bigger, I included all performance options, actually most options except the glass sunroof. So creature comfort friendly. The “tech” is extensive and not really user friendly which requires extensive reading of the owners manual. The mode is adjustable from normal, to sport to race. Normal and sport are all you are likely to use unless you track the car. For my opinion a better value for me over the GT3 Touring even though I believe a Touring priced out a bit less than the TS I ordered.
I had previously looked at a used 2019 991 GT3 Touring with very low miles and my car had more power, more options, PDK vs MT for about similar $$$.
Overall I am well pleased with the car, it is not my DD but a weekend or special car. I have had it one 800 mile road trip with my local PCA group but still only have about 2.1k on the clock with zero problems thus far.

 

I will buy your Gt3 Touring if you have an allocation for significant pprofit if I can order it

I disagree the Touring is better looking if not a track car in my opinion
Much nicer interior and better finished exterior details

 

No worries. It’s all personal preference and both are cool cars.

 

Not sure I could now get an allocation but even if I could my dealer is now putting a significant dealer premium on all 911’s especially TS, GTS & GT3 models.

 

Yeah thats what i am finding and for a touring it is insane

 

I was offered a winged GT3 at sticker in late '21. Probably should have taken it and built a nice generic car for the flip. I declined, holding out for a Touring and he said he would call in a couple of months with that allocation. I never heard back.

 

Around me, I am seeing the touring GT3 go for higher prices than the models with the wing. Saw a 991.2 4k mile touring asking price at around $300k, not sure what it actually sold for but I suspect it was close to asking price.

 

Over on Rennlist people are talking about paying $50-100K over sticker for GT3T allocations....hard to imagine this madness continuing for much longer.
