St-anger, I've got a question about porsche's dsg system.
We have an 997 GT3 on order, will be one of the first cars in Belgium, dealer expects it to arrive beginning of 2006. He told us porsche is working on a DSG system that will be avaliable on the 997 GT3, but he couldn't tell when it'll be introduced.
My dad really wants it, he's willing to wait till it comes out. But I don't Can't wait to have that car in the garage. The wait is getting harder and harder everytime new spypics appear on the net.
Maybe you could comfort me by telling porsche DSG system is nearly complete and we'll be able to have it on our GT3 in the beginning of 2006 ?
Thanks

thank you,
i'm sure you're much more realiable source dealer doesn't know a thing, when i sent him the pictures of that speedyellow gt3 prototype with those black 19" mk2 look a like wheels, carrera gt like seats,...
he said i shouldn't count on it'll look any like that pleasee :roll: aerokit cup = gt3 look, and that looks 90% like it
actually it makes complete sense, porsche says automated tranny takes away huge part of the driving experience, i remember that being one of the reason's not to have DSG/Sequential gearbox in the Carrera GT,
and the GT3 is ultimate /affordable/ driving experience 911 so...
actually i don't really understand my dad, why he'd want an automated gearbox, he hated SMG2 so we went for a 6speed manual in the M
i sure wouldn't want to lose the joy i get from playing with the cluth

Cayman has better lines then the 997?
I think the new cayman has better lines the new 997?
it just looks more muscular around the rear end.
am I the only one?

Sorry, you misunderstood my question I know they produced more than 2, and probably 30 but there was 3 versions of the GT1 and most are MK II versions like this one :
But I wanted to know how much of the MK III version were produced

I may be wrong, but I am pretty much sure, that Porsche only made one road version of 1998 GT1 model. It was made for homologation and was displayed at 1998 Le Mans race. The colour of it is white. You can find one picture of it in Porsche GT1 Ultimate topic with high-res pictures. The licence plate on this car is BB GT 198. Funny, becouse Porsche used BB GT 196 for 1996 road car and BB GT 197 for 1997 road car.
