Xkr-s is gone, gt3 is here
I sold my Xkr-s last month to make room for my 2015 991 gt3. I ordered the car in dec (I got one of the last buildable gt3 allocations in USA) and it arrived today. Truly an amazing car- 9k rpm's, 0-60 in 3.0, ring 7:25, but the car is much more than the numbers. I had to buy 2 cars to replace the RS (no back seats in gt3). I think the RS is one of the best cars going and will miss it. I'll still check in on this forum from time to time- a lot of nice and knowledgeable people here. Here's a couple of cell phone pics.

I have had a previous generation 911 turbo and have driven the 991 turbo quite a bit. It's a great car due to its speed, tq, daily drivability, etc. However, the gt3 is a whole different animal-much more visceral and alive and 9k rpm's is such a rush (did that on a test drive). Plus, I figured my kids would be outgrowing the back seats of a 911 soon, so I went for the gt3 and a jeep wrangler unlimited to haul the kids and go to the beach and mountains.

Congratulations and enjoy. I come form a long line of Porsches owned. For me it was exactly the high rpm required to have any experience in a P-car that drove me to Jags. Under 4,500rpms not much is happening. I hope you have plenty of chances to enjoy the high revving engine as even 9,000rpm in 2nd gear will put you well beyond legal limits.

Cayman gt4 debuted yesterday in Geneva- great car and only comes in a manual. However, the car reportedly sold out worldwide in 1 day!

Octurbo: R-S is on its way to me in Virginia. Was hoping I would have it by now but it is on a truck as we speak! Hope to get it this weekend. Thanks for chatting with me about it a few weeks ago. If you have any of the paperwork from it still I would love to have it as I try to document all the cars in my collection if possible. Congrats on the new car..it is stunning!

I didn't save any of the paperwork after I traded it in.
Hopefully, your RS will arrive soon!
