I just spoke with my dealer in which I will be ordering my GT3 through. He said the first 2 months of allocation have been released to dealers at about 140 cars.

He said in this first lot, there will be no dynamic engine mounts or front end lift system.

These features will start with the second lot.

 

Dynamic Engine Mounts
Front Axle Lift System

Options available as of 09/2009 at the earliest

 

Those engine mounts are just one more thing to break on your car and the front axle lift system isn't exactly a deal breaker. If I had a GT3, I wouldn't be driving it on bad roads anyways. That car is for serious driving only.

 

when is the car going to be available?

 

I doubt you notice the dynamic engine mounts if you are not a very skilled trackdriver.

 

Here in Europe it's the same.
Had to remove the front axle lift from the option list, or wait until October ....

 

in my opinion, its worth the wait for resale value alone. buyers are picky in this market and if you have 2 997.2 GT3's sitting side-by-side (one without these, one with), which do you think the buyer is going to pick? Front axle lift is going to be a huge plus in my opinion for getting in and out of driveways alone!!

 

Dynamic engine mounts aren't a novelty. I think they'll improve performance significantly.

 

IMO, the front lift system is the best thing since sliced bread. GT3 DAILY DRIVER

 

questions for you man...for one..how much above MSRP is the guy giving it to you..two, are you all out buying it or are you putting a down payment, and financing..how much did u put down.....and finally..im torn between a TT and a secon gen GT3..still cant make up my mind..i know the turbo is quick..but do you think this GT3 will be quicker??

 

straight line acceleration, turbo will always be faster than GT3.

If this principle is reverse, so is their base price.

 

I think the Dynamic engine mounts are just as much about improved comfort and reducing engine vibration being transferred into the cabin as they are about performance gains.

 

For you Dave...

At this point, the allocation for the second run of production has not been released. I simply have my name on one of those allocations from my dealer once they become available.

I am a repeat buyer so I am paying MSRP. Not sure about the financial aspect yet. Im going to pick up an allocation that has a oct - nov delivery so I'll evaluate everything at that time. I am leaning heavily towards paying in full.

TT and GT3 are like apples and oranges. you cant even begin to compare the 2. I sold my TT about 9 months ago because I simply couldnt fall in love with it. If you want a VERY tourqy, fast GT, then the TT is right for you. If you want a high revving, ultra-tight track/street car, GT3 is for you. GT3 will NOT be quicker. The TT does not belong on a track when compared to the GT3. I love to track my cars so the GT3 is for me!

Like I said, like apples and oranges. drive both, and youll instantly see why

 

The new GT3 will be a screamer.
The new GT3RS better have something extra special because if not I see no reason to consider it over the 997.2 GT3.
