damn it - want one

As a compliment to my 3rs, I’d honestly rather have the spyder. I could push my dealer for a speedster and MAYBE get one. It isn’t appealing enough to me for its MSRP and it doesn’t offer me as much diversity away from the 3rs (or handful of other 911’s I own). When it comes to a drop-top, 981 spyder was one of my fav all-time cars I’ve ever owned. Hopefully 718 has a similar impression; if not, I’ll swap it back to a 981. Money-no-object, last spyder one of my fav cars, (including owning(ed) a cgt, 7-4.0, speciale). While not nearly the same level of high-impact drive experience as that lineup, the overall ownership experience of a 981 spyder was prob best car I’ve ever owned. The fact it was one of the cheaper toy cars I’ve owned in a while only sweetened the deal.

I agree. My dealer has 2 speedsters coming. Decided to spec them himself and not sell until they get here. Wanting $100k over or about $415k. hahaha. They have lost their minds. Told me yesterday that they are thinking $20k over for the first couple Spyder slots. I told him I would wait until they were MSRP. I will get a Spyder though which will be the perfect match/compliment with my new 3RS. I'm still trying to figure out who the moron was at Porsche that brought out the Spyder a month or so after the Speedster! Can't be helping Speedster sales.

^^^dont worry, the 1948 speedsters will all sell easily.

That's what they said with the 3RS and 2RS. But I still see several of each at both dealers in town and they have been there for a long time.

I want them both. But, I'd pick the spyder.

I think the spyder looks better
It can be used on normal roads. (the speedster is not a track car anyway)
It's a cubic butt ton of money less.
It will be more fun to drive.

Easy for me. Honestly, if they were priced both the same, I'd still get the spyder for the reasons above.

Porsche will sell all 1948. Dealers may get stuck with some "2nd hand" in the adm game.

Speedster is already sold out

My local dealer got one speedster and got $120K ADM. Played three customers against each other to get that amount, pretty sad. Hope the new mid engine vette changes attitudes.

Not if the spy shots are accurate

Gave back my allocation to dealer for speedster and getting a spyder instead. Prefer the looks of spyder and couldn’t see the xtra 200 would cost for speedster being worth it for type of driving I do. Also not a collector.

Out of the whale's mouth. Now I feel better lol. I still would like to have both in my little garage.
