Best hope is hopefully a 3 year of the gt4rs to really have a legit chance.
I heard a lot of people are actually turning down their allocations because of

We will see what adm is.... With 992 gt3 selling at 50-150k adm it will be interesting to see what dealers will try to get with the gt4rs. I am pretty committed but commitment does have a point you have to say no........ This would just be such a amazing car at COTA :-) 718 GT4 just get out powered on back stretch at COTA the RS seems like it will not have that issue.

ADMs gonna be wild. Know firsthand of customers OFFERING 150k over sticker for the car before it is even launched. People know it will be relatively limited, or they have crazy money to burn, or both.

Will re-focus my efforts on 992 3RS. My modded up Spyder will have to hold up to scratching the 718 itch.

I think availability will be an issue with all the supply chain mess and the demand of this car will be insane. I think ADM's will be silly and we won't be seeing many of these in the states sadly.
yup, that sound is insane

Ahhh... since after the Porsche video we are no longer speculating as to the inclusion high-horsepower, high-redline engine in the 4RS (clearly it will have both), we have moved on to random speculation on price point and ADM...

My dealer is doing no ADM on 992 GT3s and no ADM on the GT4RS. They might be in the minority, but they value customer relationships over profiteering on short-term shortages. But of course, it's far too late to get on their list (let alone build a relationship with them) for a 992 GT3 or 718 GT4RS...

Beautiful car, but it's frustrating knowing that there is no chance to get an allocation and the possibly competitive price for the car will be jacked up by crazy ADM. Local dealership is asking $25K ADM on regular GT4, I bet it's going to be a $50K ADM or more on the RS.

It just blows my mind how people are just willing to pay it, I strongly believe there shouldn't be any discounts or negotiation for a car but also no ADM. MSRP should dictate the market...

I hope a day to be lucky enough to maybe get one 🙄

I know everyone is free to do whatever they want with their $$$$$ but Jesus, paying so much ADM for a car is just crazy.
These are exactly the same people that will get bored of the car in a couple of months and do the same for a GT3RS, then the next new thing, then next new thing......etc, etc.
It really hurts PAG on the long run as true enthusiasts have a really hard time getting the cars Porsche deigned for them.

People play ADMs for all sorts of items - their money, their choice. And I cannot see how it has hurt PAG.

Because that NEW NEXT thing may and will probably not be a Porsche.....you need to also groom that core loyal enthusiast that may give a C8 Z06 a chance because the C&C/VIP/Flipper crowd had priority on a GT4RS.
But I do agree...your money, your choice.

Let me get this straight.

Paying ADM means one is not a true enthusiast?

Ok got it.

Jesus....people take things too seriously in here.
No, I'm generalizing and most of these wont be here in RL. You can be an enthusiast with the money/motivation to do it.
But if it makes you happy go ahead an pay +$50K over MSRP if you wish...again, your money. Please note that I'm referencing on the obscene ADM's types.
Lucky for me my dealer is straight MSRP....I do get kill if I do trade-ins

You can see it right now on the 992 GT3 forum here. Some people are asking themselves if it's really worth it to pay $50,000 or more over sticker price on a 992 GT3 that they will have to wait 6-10 months for when that puts them into the same price territory of other new cars from other brands that they may not have previously considered, such as a Lamborghini Huracan Evo RWD.

And 137.5 HP per Liter NA would also be a world record for a production car.

Having a nice exhaust is great and I know JCR makes some of the best, but let's keep our expectations somewhat reasonable
