Hey Bob, I got my 997 GT3 in September and am still loving it

Im sure the mk2 will be a fantastic car, but the one we have is truly the dogs b******s, the mk2 will have to be really special to top it in any significant manner. Just enjoy it fellah....

Oh, I prefer the rear valance on 'our' car

Having got over the initial irritation , that I moved from having the latest GT3, to having "the old model" , I've done some "corporate" thinking .
It perhaps is more a reflection on the current difficult trading conditions for all car manufacturers , including Porsche.
Bearing in mind the planned run of the original 997 GT3 sold out pretty quickly, and faced now with low order books on all the other more "production models" then to offer a new GT3 which might keep the production lines turning over, is eminently sensible, assuming the new edition attracts the same purchasing interest as the first .
Anyway since my GT3 tipped the financial scales originally 8000+ miles ago at £92K, I wont be changing. However I'm investigating how I might achieve the same power outputs without the cost of replacing the car

I think if I was in "the big" mans shoes I'd be rather miffed about this too!

Anyone know what this latest GT3 tips the scales at?

Apparently, Porsche haven't confirmed delivery numbers or dates which is why the dealers can't give you any more info.

From what I've been told, deposit now will get you a car ok, but no guarantee of dates - could even be 2010!!

The deposit just books your place in line

Hehe, NO!

Anyway she's off to London with a mate next week and I fear there may be a significant Louis Vuitton and Tiffany/Boodles 'adjustment' made because of the order...

Oh no...my OPC rang me this morning but I missed the call....wonder what he want!!

edit

I hope the UK price isn't based on the current exchange rate as that would mean the new GT3 will be over £107k or am I just being a bit thick...
