They look very plain IMO With that Premium I'd prefer to just get a spare unwinged bootlid & just swap them out depending on what I feel like on the day.

LOL, don't think there are any roads or many tracks in Aust where you can get to the point of it being "unsafe". Also having driven other cars that claim equivalent top speeds but they are seriously down on downforce (compared to GT3's), so speaking purely from personal experience, I dun buy the whole "unsafe" at high speeds. Perhaps more unsafe driving at those speeds.... SS 3 and Adrenalin62 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically there aren't many GT owners who who go to the hassle of sourcing a decked, painting it, getting it fitted and keeping the wing in a safe space. So the though of it is just a pipe dream.

I know of one Aus 991 RS thats 'gone' and i understand the owner had a back country off where his rear stepped out...He had removed the rear wing to go for a Touring look. The real Touring does have an active wing thats the full width of the car and likely quite close the 996 / 997 gt3 size...i think it would matter, in the exact moment, where one is having some 'fast fun'....I won't pull an RS wing to go a Touring look.

Understand they’re rare but how can no wing command a 100K premium? Even 50-70K over a “normal” one is far too much IMO. Especially now that the 991 rear wing seems quite modest compared to the swan neck. I saw a 718 GT4 with a 992 swan neck wing on the weekend. Looked so aggressive. 11 hours ago, sleazius said: I have an Emira on order. Probably shouldn't out myself on this forum 🤣 I thought long and hard about it- but that youtube of Jensen Button door closing sound at Goodwood doesn't sound like great shutlines. Will need to go see the finished product in the metal before plonking down the hard earnt cash. Otherwise the rest of the vehicle paired with the V6 Toyota looks great.

To me, a GT3 has to have a wing, or it just looks like a normal 911 with a sticker kit DJM, spiller, P-Kay and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard the same thing, then realised it’s less than half the cost of a GT3 and got over it fairly quickly. Wish me luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While uncommon, there are probably more out there than folks realise. https://drivetribe.com/p/you-can-now-buy-jerry-seinfelds-eqhfWNO8QiWuFHb3BmsnxQ?iid=MYnOfGpASs-CWBxdgdRhNQ What I found odd is how many people told me to leave it off. Without the wing the extra wide turbo body becomes the focus in the rear which looks very 991R without forking out the dollars for another car. Then takes about 10mins to get the wing back on.
