Today, yes, but there have been stories online with speculation about an naturally aspirated engine (from your car) being used in the future. A Porsche mucky-muck has since said flat out that the 718 4.0 motor can't/won't be used in a 911, so I 'think' that killed all hope. Unless there's been another development I haven't heard about, I think the GT3 will remain the only non-turbo, unless one of the new hybrids are technically n/a....

Yes!

My dealer will not give me an allocation for a GT3. A guy has to buy whatever Porsche that he can get an allocation.

Yes, I am really fired up about new 2023 Porsche Turbo. It looks perfect for me. I am an older guy that likes the "regular" looks of the $196,000 Turbo.

I'd prefer it as well.

Yet, in Johannes Vann Overbeck columns in the new "Excellence" magazine (10-22), he does find faults in the car. It's hard to argue with a professional race car driver?

I can copy/paste it, but I don't want the magazine mad at me. :problem:

This article suggests that they may be returning to a NA engine. There was also tests done on a hybrid Turbo.

My ideal 911 would be a GT3 with wing.

Unfortunately, all dealers are asking incredible markups for those and I am trying to be responsible with my money.

JMO, I'd never pay over MSRP. I say wait a bit for a better deal.

Indeed. My dealer knows that I will not pay a single penny over MSRP.

I'm going for a GTS coupe fitted as a mini-GT3. I may add a wing aftermarket as I don't like the Carrera wing you can get from the factory. I really like the GT3 swan wing.

I currently have a C2S cab, which is great.

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP)

What Is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP)?
The manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) is the price that a product's manufacturer recommends it be sold for at the point of sale. Any retail product can have an MSRP, but the term is frequently used with automobiles. An MSRP is sometimes informally known as the "sticker price."

The MSRP is also referred to as the list price by some retailers. Other higher-priced goods, such as appliances and electronics, may have an MSRP as well.

The MSRP is designed to keep prices at the same level from store to store. But retailers are not required to use this price, and consumers do not always pay the MSRP when they make purchases. Items may be sold for a lower price so a company can reasonably move inventory off shelves, especially in a sluggish economy.
