The GT3 is out of production and no new allocations were to be issued after last December. The car is 100% sold out. The GT4 also won't have nearly enough allocations for the number of orders dealers have taken. So if you want a Porsche GT car, this is your one and only option... assuming you get to your dealer ASAP.

PCNA actually requires $5000 to get on the list now... the $1000 deposits were before they made the car official. And, if you're not already on a list it is doubtful you'll find an allocation. I'm #7 on my dealer's list and they weren't sure if I'd even get a car...

I sold an 07 GT3 to get an 07 turbo. It really depends on what you want from the car. I don't DD either of them, but I would have with either if my commute wasn't just sitting idle in traffic for an hour. The GT3 is the greatest single driving experience of my life. I tracked the car - went to COTA and drove it hard

As others have pointed out, he goes to the shelf for other parts. It is his car and his choice, and if I won the powerball I'd actually take it as it sits without a manual (I'll have to turn in my jalop card, but F it, I'd have a Pagani). But if he wanted to make it manual, he could find a transmission that could work.

1000 NM = ~737 Ft/Lbs. Lots of transmissions can handle that. Tremec TR6060 for sure - see cat, hell. Whatever Porsche put into the 997 Turbo can handle that much as well - mine puts 732 ft/lbs to the wheels, and people making much more than that are on stock transmissions as well.

You'd think an auto site like Jalopnik would be pointing out the AMAZING benefits that E85 provides for the horsepower junkies of the world.

Just give me back Imola period. Beyond all else he's done, I hate Bernie most for the disrespect he's shown that track. It has the rating needed to host a race, give it to them. And not even just because that's the track where Ayrton died. But that alone should be reason enough.

WTF is up with the new comment system? I'm no longer worthy of making comments?

Oops nope I got it backwards, Porsche brought debt due to the silly buyout they tried in the mid 2000's.

"With 10.6 Billion in cash reserves..."

And most importantly, the last year of the original 911 & 930 Turbo.

It just doesn't make any sense. Want a jag gt? Pony up and get the real one, the XK. Want a sports car for 80k? Go buy a 911. Or better yet, go buy a boxster/alfa 4c/corvette/something else and pocket the other 20k.

Its a beautiful car. It has amazing technology, lots of power (475!) for a non-RS car, quick shifting, etc etc. But father time will tell a story now.

I dont think anybody gets this yet. NP, NP all day long. It's a foundation for an E36 track rat. It's perfect. Buying an old E36 + SBC + the swap kit costs more than this. Why spend the effort when you can get this one pre-made. Strip the interior, add proper seats and a cage, and go beat the shit out of it on a

Only the 2001.5s have the S54. Just checked autotrader, only 5 in the country for sale, one at 19k w/ 80k miles that looks shady, and 4 in the sub 40k mile range, starting at $33k and going up. 

But now there's more room for advertising!! Web 3.0, innovation, social, etc etc etc.

2002 with the better engine can't be had for 14-20k at all. They're mid-30s now for nice examples. I want one badly....

87-89? The last air cooled car was the 993 through 1998. 89 was the last of the first gen 'classic' 911. It's a beautiful car and an amazing drive though - just not the last of the air cooled cars.

They just don't get it. Sure, it gets 42mpg, and that's good. And it has torque, so that's good. But it is 25% more expensive than the also 42mpg Cruze eco model. That is completely pointless. At 20k this car is great, at 25 it is pointless and won't sell.

Ok, I'll be the one who stoops to this level. But during the news, the girl behind Clarkson was HOT. I had to watch it twice because I had no idea what Jeremy was saying the first time
