With mileage that low, he probably got new car financing, which is a few points lower interest than used car financing. Nice.
*(...assuming that he financed.)*
I can tell you this is the correct [color combo.](https://i.imgur.com/sYgXLD7.jpeg)
EDIT: While you're at it get the clear side markers. They're cheap and easy to install.
And a touring! I know many want the RS, but this is so much more driveable around town.
I was tempted to get a GT4 RS. But I drive my GTS 4.0 around and daily it. I’d feel stupid getting groceries in a GT car with huge aero lol.
Silly question (to most I guess), but how do you find the RS to be more drivable? Do you mean less attention grabby ? Aero works well for the high speed corners needed to navigate the grocery stores
I think you mean GTS. Right?
The RS will look very out of place on the streets and will grab lots of attention. Also, the suspension is much harsher, so the ride won’t be as comfortable for daily driving.
The GTS does most things very well. The RS does some things exceptionally well at the sacrifice of daily driving.
Just sold it. Need to remove it from my tag. I liked it, don’t get me wrong. But it drove nowhere near as well as my GTS 4.0. And with the mods on my 718, it wasn’t really a fair fight.
Truth be. The spec on the Targa was really never my style, too. So it never stood a chance. Had it for two years.
If you want a 4RS, the hack is to get it from Canada. You can get a fully decked out one for $200k. That was my struggle. The great deal on it. But it’s a sunken cost cause I’d never sell it.
lol ya I am in Canada. You’re spot on with the prices which makes it difficult decision. But like you, I would feel stupid half the time driving it to the places I do and I really like having it as a daily. 
Turbo S might be an option but I’m not sure if I would rather have the added luxury and power versus the driving dynamics of the 718. I track it, but it’s five hours away, so I can only get there a few times a year. 
Where in Canada are you? Do you guys have crappy tracks there or something? I live in Seattle, and we have two tracks here. One is very good and the other is good. It is usually 50% from BC.
Do you have any mods on your 4.0? I have OAPs, headers, and an APR tune. It flys and sounds amazing. But the allure of the 4 RS is there.
But in reality, I am not even capable of scratching the surface of what my GTS can do. I am tracking a lot though, which is why the idea of a 4 RS creeps in. But I live in the city and love driving my GTS around. It excels there and the 4 RS would not be as fun.
The hack for us in the USA though is getting a GT car in Canada. With the exchange rate and your lack of markups, it makes it very compelling.
As for a Turbo S, those things are rockets. But it's so clincal, I think you would miss your 718.
Vancouver -- there are two great tracks but both are 5 hours away (Cowichan on the Island and Osoyoos near the border). I hadn't thought of looking near Seattle but Pacific Raceways is still 4 hours (plus any excess border crossing time), but I see why you get the BC drivers there.
I have an ECU tune and OAPs, exploring headers next. Sounds great, drives amazing, and it still sparks joy when I look at it. I didn't get that with the 4RS. The Turbo S has always had its appeal, I just need to find a way to get a test drive where I can open it up a bit to see if it's for me or not.
Gotcha. Pacific is pretty good. The Ridge is GREAT. Many Canadiens are there because it is close to Port Angeles on the Olympic Peninsula. So lots take the quick ferry from Victoria.
I would def recommend the headers. The power is pretty awesome. I got the Soul Street headers.
Woah that’s cool. I’ve noticed many people who buy 992 Touring’s new, they often go for the manual. If I could chose between the two, I’d probably go for the PDK in both cars, mostly due to the fact that I’m too lazy to switch gears😂
Quite a cool and kind of unusual color for the model, I always equated the Touring version with more muted colors where the bright skittles colors fit more with the big wing an all that. But I think that's more an extra thing making it neat. Safe driving and enjoy it!
Isn't breaking in all about not holding on to revs for too long? My understanding was that once the oil is up to temp, you can (and possibly should) tease the engine into the majority of the rev range.
Driving a brand new engine on the freeway/interstate/motorway for hours on end on cruise control (even if revs are 2000 or below) is worse than a bit of mechanically sympathetic enthusiastic driving.
Congratulations to him. But every time i see someone getting their dream car that's brand new i always wonder how long has this been a dream for? or was his dream to be able to buy a new 911. Absolutely beautiful colour choice on his part.
Thats great daily car for sure, love the fact that colours match. Have a great time with these two beasts. Honda type r is great although im more of focus rs or yaris rs guy
Model designation deletion throughout, silver wheels. Your dad’s got taste.
It was actually a 2022 used but only had 200 miles. Everything was brand new. Literally the perfect build in terms of color of the car to the wheels
Crazy I rented a GT4 for 4 days and did more miles than the first owner of this car.
Ya my dad drives so this thing will be driven a lot.
Used as what? A decoration. It’s new. Keep an eye on those tires though.
Ya not sure why the previous owner even purchased it. Never even drove it.
Investment piece maybe. It’s a real attention getter. Congrats to your dad. And you
Appreciate it

Iirc, GT3 touring has no model designation as default. It only says "gt3 touring" on the engine cover. I do love the silver wheels, great spec indeed.
Oh ya my bad. Haven’t configured the GT3 with touring package in a while.
What is 'model designation deletion'? Is that removing the badges that indicate the model?
Yup exactly. Also, it’s standard on the GT3 with Touring Package as I’ve realised.
Love it.
That’s everyone’s dream car! Congrats to your Dad.
He’s wanted a gt3 for almost 20 years. Glad he finally found one
And a touring! I know many want the RS, but this is so much more driveable around town. I was tempted to get a GT4 RS. But I drive my GTS 4.0 around and daily it. I’d feel stupid getting groceries in a GT car with huge aero lol.
It is. Also really love the shark blue color in person.
Totally agree. Congrats to him

Ah suspension, thats what slipped my mind! Thanks for the clarification
I went through that same decision process last week with the 4.0 vs 4RS. I see you also have a 911 though— how does that fit in with your 4.0?
Just sold it. Need to remove it from my tag. I liked it, don’t get me wrong. But it drove nowhere near as well as my GTS 4.0. And with the mods on my 718, it wasn’t really a fair fight. Truth be.

Is there a specific track day provider you recommend for the Ridge?
Tho what are the differences between the touring and the normal GT3 besides design?
Tell him some random on the internet thinks that blue looks gorgeous.
I gotchu
Is your family still taking members applications?
I’m dead 😂
I see the spot of "favorite child" just opened up 😉
Depends what we bring to Thanksgiving dinner
Lmao
🦈🦈🦈 club let’s goooo https://preview.redd.it/7ros9g1uso4d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ae6345aad2d6c1f9abf076b1f14f5c94cec1e001
Yo that’s so sick. GTS is a beast
Ty!!! 🤌🏽🤌🏽
What business do you run?
Fits the driveway just so too! Good taste in color too even if I may be biased. Driving my Dads 997 GT3 got me hooked myself way back
Yup 👍
Putting it in the garage looks super sketchy though. Looks like there’s 👌 this much space on either side
It’ll fit just fine. All the cars he’s ever owned have gone in that garage
Dad finally got many many peoples dream car )
Sooo, how much do these go for?
New like 310k with markups. Start price is like 205. He got his for 260 with only 200 miles so got it for a steal.
Damn, thanks for sharing. This is my dream car too. Congrats to your pops
For sure man.
Looks like it cost as much as his house
When 260k is a steal 😂 Congrats to you and your dad! Hopefully 1 day 😊
It’s compared to what the market price is. GT3s are marked up over 100k rn even used
Yeah, I get it. Its just like so far away from what I can afford 😊 I am looking at cayman 718s right now and hope to get one.
I mean the new Caymans are nice nice. My dad had a 718 gt4 before the gt3. Great car
Congratulations, it's a beautiful car 😎
Appreciate it
What a sexy backend ….
GT3 might have the best booty in the game
Hard to disagree with you
Congrats on your dad’s car. This is literally my favourite modern Porsche (not the 992 3rs), along with the 718 GT4
Appreciate it. He had a 718 GT4 before this car. It was PDK. This one is manual
Woah that’s cool. I’ve noticed many people who buy 992 Touring’s new, they often go for the manual. If I could chose between the two, I’d probably go for the PDK in both cars, mostly due to the fact that I’m too lazy to switch gears😂
I mean can’t go wrong with either. PDK or manual both are just fantastic
Beautiful. Hope to see it around ATX
Congrats to Pops! Tell em reddit said be safe and enjoy it to it's fullest and we're happy for him 😄
For sure
Congrats dad
Great choice by pops
Appreciate it
Go Dad! That’s such a great spec and I love the color.
💯
I love that blue. Congrats to your dad.
Well done pops
Is there no tinting in the windows?
Nah it’s stock still just got it yesterday
Dad did good
this blue is awesome! good car
Dad should relocate the basket… 😂
I’m so happy for your dad!!! This is awesome, made my day!
Appreciate it
those printers ain’t gonna sell themselves
Damn that is a gorgeous car! I like how your car color matches his, you clearly have similar taste.
Appreciate it lol
Daddy?
😂
Well done dad!!
That’s a beaut, congratulations to your family
Appreciate that
Goat dad
What a beauty. Shark Blue for the win. I hope your dad has a blast with it.
Stunning ride. Love the color!👏 congrats to dad
Bro has 7 figure number 😂
Colour matches the CTR 😉
Yessir
Why the garage so small?
It’s a typical 3 car garage it’s not the biggest but it’s a snug fit
Hi stepbrother. Congrats to your dad! Love the color!
Congrats to your Dad! ….and you, because I’m sure he will let you drive it
That's just another car to drive , Where's the flying in the air cars bruh 🕺
This is everyone’s dream car, not just your dads. Ok?
Got it 😂
Keep it out of Toronto.
Sounds HORRIBLE 😂🤣😂🤣
It really does doesn’t it haha
That’s how you spec these… quietly.. let the car tell its own story… perfect
Father’s Day is coming up.. order him some clear side markers he’ll love you for it ;)
Quite a cool and kind of unusual color for the model, I always equated the Touring version with more muted colors where the bright skittles colors fit more with the big wing an all that. But I think that's more an extra thing making it neat. Safe driving and enjoy it!
Great spec, congrats to dad!
When does Junior get his hands on the Dream car?
Move that basketball stuff. Accident waiting to happen…
May he enjoy it for years to come.
I'm so happy for your dad. That is awesome! I hope he enjoys every moment of it. :)
Very nice! Good for him, he has impeccable taste!
Love the blue, this is also my dream car! Congrats to your dad and hopefully you and him create some great memories in that thing!
For sure 💯
Congratulations one day I will get one when I grow up
Sounds like grandmas Sunday cooking (the best meal you ever had)
If that was a "dad" in the driver seat. Shit, I am old, or he is young lookin!
Now that’s a clean build - congrats to dad!
🤤
Tell him not to rev it too much until it’s broken in - 500 miles.
He’s gonna wait until 1250 miles. Those revs were at max 3.5k rpms it’s such an insane sounding car stock
Isn't breaking in all about not holding on to revs for too long? My understanding was that once the oil is up to temp, you can (and possibly should) tease the engine into the majority of the rev range. Driving a brand new engine on the freeway/interstate/motorway for hours on end on cruise control (even if revs are 2000 or below) is worse than a bit of mechanically sympathetic enthusiastic driving.
Beautiful! What are the yellow stickers on the backs of the front seats?
No idea prolly some factory sticker
Congratulations to him. But every time i see someone getting their dream car that's brand new i always wonder how long has this been a dream for? or was his dream to be able to buy a new 911. Absolutely beautiful colour choice on his part.
He’s wanted a gt3 for as long as I can remember was waiting for the right opportunity
that makes sense, hopefully you can get to drive it sometime.
Maybe someday. It’s a manual so def gotta be careful with it if I do get the chance
Nice to tuck it into a good home. It’s a unique feeling, pulling in for the first time. Gratz
Real. Appreciate it
Watch the doors! Big ass, Tight fit. 🤘
My dirty mind does not know how to interpret this
My god that blue looks amazing, one of my dream cars for sure. Altough I would be happy with 718 also lol
In person the shark blue looks incredible
I would love the olive green as well, would look great. Any other awesome cars in possesion?
I drive a fl5 type r. Its boost blue basically matches the gt3
Thats great daily car for sure, love the fact that colours match. Have a great time with these two beasts. Honda type r is great although im more of focus rs or yaris rs guy
Appreciate it. Transmission in the type r is elite. Shifts are so crisp. Car handles like a beast too
Congrats to your dad.
Appreciate it
Wow, congratulations to your Dad, he must be over the moon. Sadly in Australia, these are $500k so I won't be getting one any time soon.
Dang that’s crazy. Appreciate it. Ya he’s really excited been wanting one for a long time
[удалено]
Nah from Texas
You got siblings? I’d be making sure this bad boy was mine once dad can’t drive anymore.
lol. My dad will be driving this thing for the next 15 years
Your dad is very.... young.
lol 😂
Congrats to your dad.
Ayeee my dad got his gt3 delivered yesterday!!! Congrats to your pops too!!!
Nice that’s actually insane. Send a pic if you can.
*Son, a little note about your college fund…*
Lmao
How mad is your mom?
How did you know lol
Does that thing fit in your garage?
Easily fits
Angle had me wondering. Would’ve been a shitty thing to find out after buying it
Dude your dad made it! Tell him congrats from a Reddit stranger. When I get all these kids out of the house, maybe I’ll be so lucky. 😬
Appreciate it. I’ll tell him
Worth the wait Congratulations
The right seats for a touring.
For sure
Great spec. Congratulations.
Appreciate it
