GT4 tough to beat for the money...
Spyder/Cayman's are a completely different tier in quality, etc. I had a Boxster Spyder and the quality was nothing compared to 911... sold it after a couple months. Until they put the same attention to those models as the 911; I would never consider one again. I think if you don't have GT3 and can't get one w/LWB at MSRP and if you can get an RS allocation at MSRP, then by all means, it's an epic car. I've owned several RS' and in the past would not consider a GT3 over an RS. In this case, since there is massive inflation in the prices, I don't see the value in the RS anymore ($50-75k over??). I have seen this cycle before. I bought a '07 RS over MSRP (pre-2008 mkt crash) when they first came out.. same hype and limited availability. I put about 6k miles on it and in 2009 sold it at best price I could muster of $100k (moved up to cup). I am hoping the market takes a dump, flushing out all the new $$ and bringing prices back to normal, which will be a great time to pick up any of these cars, especially the cups.

I don't like the stock 981 offers to date, hated the Cayman S on the track, but have a 3.8L Cayman with rebuild suspension that is a great car. I'm assuming the GT4 will be closer to this and at MSRP it's pretty tough to pass up from a value perspective. I have a 3 with LWBs and it's a great car, but I've emotionally moved on to the RS now.

Depends how many they will make. The less they make the higher price I will pay. The more they make the lower price I will pay. If they make more than 3000 I think it should worse 20k less. If the make 600 I think it worse 40-50k more than current msrp.

Although frowned upon I would order the 18 way seats.....I dd the GT3 with the Sharkwerks so can't see it being that much louder....a little stiffness doesn't both me much either....can't see it being a bad choice and rear visibility will actually probably be better.....sign me up!!!
