I know i’m biased but i think the GT3 CS is shouty enough without a loud colour on top 😁.

sleazius Posted 24November, 2023 Report Share Posted 24November, 2023 GT Silver is a lovely colour - however not one I'd ever spec on a GT car. Either go full stealth (black) or shouty (imo). They do look (to my eye) a lot better in a skittles spec, even colours I wouldn't ordinarily consider like green. Subtle went out the window the second you bought a car with a big wing on the back.

Way I see it, punters are more going to pick the car colour if they're going to complain to the authorities, rather than saying "the car with the wing". I rather liked the Arctic Silver of my 996.1 GT3 as it was certainly more subtle and under the radar than the Speed Yellow one I had, even though as a colour I reckon the Speed Yellow is gorgeous.....

Oldknees Posted 24November, 2023 Report Share Posted 24November, 2023 Bottom line is everything is just a personal choice. Bit like options. Worst thing you can do is try and pick for the next buyer rather than what you want. VGTS20, sjm, wirthO and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I ever be in a position to spec one new... 😄 For a flipper car, it has to be a clubsport, no questions asked IMO... I've speced and owned a touring spec because it best suited my mixed use needs but I would never spec one for a flipper. My ideal spec - CS, carbon roof, buckets, leather interior and upgrade sound for the long drives to/from the track as main options... my 2 cents. wirthO, teknostar and AndrewM 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

911rox Posted 25November, 2023 Report Share Posted 25November, 2023 A new listing? Spec is relatively on point other than the color for me... If new, pricing reasonable for a start point compared to the dreamers sitting at $550-600k... Check out this 2021 Porsche 911 GT3 992 Auto MY22. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2021-porsche-911-gt3-992-auto-my22/SSE-AD-16290871 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldknees Posted 26November, 2023 Report Share Posted 26November, 2023 Not many + 500k 992 GT3 selling. My guess is we will see more and more sub 500k cars (non-touring ) coming onto the market in the next 12 months. Anyone who borrowed to flip will be eager to sell. Maybe it's a dream - but will we see them for their original purchase price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldknees Posted 29November, 2023 Report Share Posted 29November, 2023 Porsche Newcastle had a GT silver GT3 Touring, negligible km. They were asking $639K! Lasted a couple of weeks. I asked the salesperson what it went for & he said close to it's advertised price. This was 1 month ago. So not so sure about the 'normality' of the market.

WGA Posted 29November, 2023 Report Share Posted 29November, 2023 12 hours ago, wirthO said: Yeah, sofas are always a bad choice on a GT car, even for a touring! I have to disagree with you here. I had a 991.2 Touring which I speced with LWBs with the intention of tracking the car....but I think I only ever tracked it 2-3 times largely because I had other better cars for that. As a result, it ended up getting used more in daily life and the fixed back nature of the seats meant that getting anything in the back was a PITA, plus, my wife refused to go on trips in it the because of the seats. So when it came time to spec my 992 GT3 Touring, I wanted to make it a more practical car so I went for the sofas. My wife and I now do some trips together, go out to dinner, go to events, etc....I even carry our pooches in the back from time to time. Now I am not against LWBs because I have a 4RS with them as my track car so in my mind its horses for courses depending on how you intend to use the car. But for me, a Touring with Sofas is a more desirable thing. TwoHeadsTas and tomk86 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
