Now that the Porsche 991 Turbo S has blown away the Speciale in Angelsey and also been proven to be the Ultimate Californian Canyons of Zog weapon I suspect people will be buying those.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
37 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Lovely looking 991 GT3, I have no idea if it's the right spec?
Virgin 991 GT3
We know Henry knows his beans, any guesses how quickly it will go at that price?

Do the buckets make that much difference?
As always it very much depends on personal preference, but even as a road car rather than for track use, I really think the buckets add a lot in terms of looks, support and the overall driving experience.

Providing that 'racing car' experience I guess?
Never had them to be honest, do they always have a harness which I guess possibly makes life slightly more difficult in everyday situations?

Harness is part of the ClubSport package, as you need the roll cage to attach the harnesses to.
Even if you do have the cage and harnesses you can store them out of the way for daily use.

Yep, up with it now
Thanks Sid
Regardless, for me it's a great car and I could live without buckets.
drmark said:
Had an OPC on the phone tonight cold calling me to offer nice spec GT3. I wonder how many others they called?
Surprised they need to cold call people. Arent there people chasing these cars?

Having had the buckets I wouldn't go back to ordinary seats for this type of car!
i know these were underpriced and with a few nice options list is £120k not £l00k but £160k is sensible? Ive read they'll soon be £180-190k. Beautiful car but to me thats a bit a toppy.
Wha happens to prices on these if they bring out a gen 2 manual?

I agree. Was quite surprised. It was top dollar though so might be sticking. Well priced ones should sell quickly.

Given that there are 15 on OPC AUC and they're priced £156k - £185k, I think the bubble has stopped growing, especially considering the time of year!
GT3 prices to start falling?

Once again a thread on the 991 GT3 becomes a thread about the imminent bursting of the bubble, mainly from those who (apparently) have no interest in the car...

Almost certainly. Now that the Porsche 991 Turbo S has blown away the Speciale in Angelsey and also been proven to be the Ultimate Californian Canyons of Zog weapon I suspect people will be buying those. And an easy remap to 650bhp.
The RS is out soon, which means the GT3 is just for girlies who want to drive slowly.
Come the next bubble in 2023 they will be up at £200k again though. Not adjusted for inflation.

Unlikely given the anticipated c £230k+ for the first 'second hand' 991 RS.

yet another one sans buckets !!!
Agreed - looks a great spec apart from the lack of buckets!
That's not really a great spec. All it has is full leather, lift, PCM and an ugly pointless cruise control stalk and pointless heated seats. That's not even comfort spec, its granddad spec! 110k spec car

Talking on 991 Virgin....
Anyone out there know what this car was on for?

Thanks
About £46/47k I think - around that money.
That Turbo S went quickly lovely car, that 991 GT3 is delicious and if I had 160k for a car that would be getting bought looks every inch worth its money buckets or not.

"if I had 160k for a car that would be getting bought "
I doubt it.
Mine doesn't have buckets but they are far more 'buckety' than the 997 GT3 sports (comfort) seat.
I would have ideally got one with buckets simply because they look cool, but in retrospect it means my partner can get in the car without moaning yet i still have tons of support.
My wife and I were looking at a 991 GT3 very much like that one in the paddock at Silverstone last Sunday. We were discussing it in terms of the "does it grab you by the throat and say buy me" test and both concluded that it didn't. I'll be sticking with what've I've got, which I'm absolutely fine with.

The one near Scrutineering? I only saw it from behind but thought (on a black car) that the clear rear lenses (which had condensation in - it seems TADTS) looked a bit chavvy.

Can't see that somehow
it's just that as a dyed in the wool Porsche fan it's a bit disappointing not to be wowed by their latest supercar

What hasn't it got that you would deem necessary for it to be 'well-specced' (apart from the Buckets and PCCBs that I already mentioned)?

Sorry Sidicks , that wasn't my aim - I love GT3s!
My point was, not so long ago, they were like hen's teeth with a price rise every week.
Now (as you can see on the AUC locater), it looks like there are loads for sale, all sticking (ie lasting more than a week).
It was more an observation than anything and a point for discussion, nothing more!

No apology needed from you, and my comments were not aimed at you either!
Black with black is a bit marmite, but it's easy enough to change the colour of the wheels
Looks a nice car and reasonably sensibly priced considering a few months back there were some on there for around 180 (whether they sold or not at that price, I don't know)
