So if this is the GT and not the GTS, any mention of the torque and power numbers?

That price certainly puts it up there with the GTS.

It is a GTS if it has dynamic engine/transmission mounts.

It is a GTS, they left out the S and it looks like mb raised the price a bit. I'll stop by the dealership and check it out on Monday when I drop mine off for service.

I checked this beauty out earlier today and it is really decked out. The emblem delete really works at smoothing out the rear end. The rear black rear spoiler, on this color, stands out a bit too much for my taste, The car sold for sticker shortly after arrival to an undoubtedly stupid individual who did not read this forum to find out how terrible they are. (I wear a bag on my head when I drive mine) As I was leaving the dealership they were wheeling a nice white GT S into the showroom. Very elegant.

Seriously, would you explain to me WHY you would pay sticker for a gts?

Florida id full of wealthy older men who buy what they want without any drama. Price just does not matter and debating it with a car salesman is beneath them. This is not a bad thing.

Most wealthy people that I know, who earned their money, didn't get there by pissing money away. More power to them. If you figure out who these people are, let me know I have some great swamp land for sale in Florida

Good to hear Floridians are helping the economy by increasing the consumer spending.

I knew all along there's some serious money from retirees in Florida. It is an act of charity to give money away.

Drive safe,

It is true, there are people out there who have more dollars than sense. Good for the dealer, not so good when the next guy comes in and wants a proper discount.

I agree crazy money, but I will say this the car is a very limited car, which will always be worth more.

I'm not against this gt car, but come on limited it is not. Numerous new 2016 for sale at huge discounts. As well as all the used ones for sale.

In the next year, please post how many 911r are for sale in the US. You will probably need less than one hand to count them.

All I was saying is, some people pay retail without question. Why do you have to imply that they are *******s? They are not. They just take no pleasure in dealing like a lot of us do. Heck, my neighbor liked my turbo s so much he asked me where I got it, went to the dealership, found one in black and said I'll take it. Seriously, what is wrong with that? He was happy to have it delivered to his house. God knows the salesman I recommended was. He sent me a bottle of Blue Label.

Don't confuse limited with value. Watch what happens to owners when the GT3.2 comes with same manual tranny, ouy vey!!

It's basically a limited test mule. Take the decals off and you'd walk right on by......

Would you invest in a 14 GT3 with engine replaced? What about a 15 ? I think not .......talk about scary.

I saw AMG GTR over weekend and it's bad *** bill, without all the speculation. You'll see.

Maybe it's hard for me to understand because of how hard I had to work for my money.

I understand what your saying and it's all good, but it took me five minutes to negotiate 8% off my 17 turbo s cab. Saved about 20k. That's a lot of blue label haha.

Hey, if the guy has it and he's happy that's all that matters! I can't afford to give that kind of money away. I wish I was!
