991 GT3 A message for Chris.
Discussion
Just an opinion regarding the roadtest on the new GT3 991 on youtube, I think its harsh and incorrect (whilst having no reliability data) to say this new engine will make you forget the Mezger unit,without a doubt the best engine Porsche has ever made (or will make),clearly Chris this is not so as the 991 RSR and CCup cars still use (as far as I know) the old Mezger unit so Porsche clearly don't view it at this stage as reliable and tuneable and have made their decision,I've also asked before how Homologation rules apply here? Also IMHO quoting previous reliability of engines as a benchmark is too a bit ambiguous given previous documented issues concerning reliability of the earlier versions of this engine (M96/7),that said I'm sure they have made twice as many and will sell twice as many,the GT3 is now moving IMO away from its roots and into volume.
Porsche are a Business and need to make money the last GT3 RS did not sell well and there were a flood of cars after launch even though they were all sold out !!!
which does infact make the 997.2 RS a rare car now.
but the 911 GT3 will sell 5 x more.
I would not buy one as now it's all electric and PDK etc I would just buy the car which does all that best the GTR.
I don't even like any of the new models as they all now have a Audi feel about them.
But Audi sell a lot of cars.
