Thus why my one and only Porsche car will be a 997.1 Turbo. The last of its kind.

The GT3 is great car. I'm always debating selling it or keeping it though. its a great track car but not as fun as racing. its a great street car, but M3 is better at that. I think the 991S is best of both worlds currently. maybe time to switch it up.

I disagree that they will do away with the manual GT3, but it looks like the car is going to be launched with just PDK at first.

It's called Mexico Blue/Riviera Blue (both look extremely similar). I only know this because it's my dream car in my dream color One day....

Riviera is a tad lighter than Mexico.

This is a great article, as most of Evo's are. A rare plug - Evo is the best car magazine out there and the interactive iPad versions is much less expensive and more engaging than the print version (I had a paper subscription for years before switching to the iPad version a year ago).
Back on topic. End of an era indeed. I'm keeping my "end-of era" E39 M5 and E86 M coupe, but am looking to add another car. My main contenders include one new (1M or upcoming M2) and one old (997 GT3). I've had extensive seat time (approximately 4 weeks total) in a 1M and must say it is a VERY fun car, a poster child for the "new." I've only had 2 test drives in a GT3, but man...what a car, what a feel. For street driving, the 1M is likely better, but the GT3 feels like none other. I'm not in a rush and am savoring the decision. Wonderful cars in this thread. I love the grey GT3 RS - well done, sir. In terms of the 991 GT3, from what I've read I'd be shocked if both a manual transmission and PDK are not both offered. Every year brings yet another nail into the coffin of my beloved manual transmission. Adapt or perish...

+1. I had a IX MR and VIII but felt the 5 speed of the VIII was much better than the 6 spd unit. I'm feel fortunate just to be able to experience these cars as well espeically living in the states. I have a prius and sadly, it is the future of transportation becuase as transportation, it can't be beat.
