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.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I really fancy a GT3. Problem is that I like to take my 3 year old and my six year old to school. Remember the 968 Sport - basically a Clubsport with back seats. Can't Porsche do something similar with 996/7?

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Because if it had rear seats it wouldn't be lightweight. Put the kids on a bus.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well BMW make an M3 CSL with four seats. Why don't Porsche?

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes but the BMW is only a saloon car dressed up as a sports car whereas the GT3 is a sports car - do you see?

POST 6Original post

Purely a laymans thoughts here but as long as it doesn't have a roll cage then a set of rear seats from a scrapped 996 would simply fit in the 'buckets' that are already there, and I'm sure the mounting points for the seatbelts are probably under the carpet too [ ] Maybe a GT3 owner could confirm but I also thought they were in fact heavier than a standard 996 as long as the 996 isn't full of heavy equipment from the options list. The GT3 does have a more powerful engine hence the better power to weight ratio
