Ok, is the thought that the RS Spyder is the Cayman Speedster with PDK?

Maybe this is the car I should be getting over the 4RS.

The Spyder is already the Cayman version of the Speedster. The Speedster is not an RS car, it’s a standard GT3.

Signal yellow? Fayence Yellow?

One could only hope.

I'd take Signal Yellow if it was offered as a non PTS or intro color... Speed Yellow or Racing Yellow, pass.

I don't think you get it. The no of cars that each dealer is getting is super low. In fact some dealers may not even get one. Those customers who are getting a 4 RS, pretty much already know. That is certainly the case at my dealer who is only getting 2-3 cars for the whole of 2022 and has already pre-allocated.

Let's just say that everyone who asks about certain cars on the forums, means they don't already have allocations verbally confirmed by the right people way before launch dates. So, if you're getting one, which is not easy or guaranteed and there is extensive gratitude involved, then you know way beforehand. But I was kidding about the kidney donation. Probably said too much but anyway... shiba inu to the moon?

So....

What is the prevailing thought on side window air scoop on C pillar visibility? Would Porsche make a lane keep assist standard? Blasphemy!

I highly doubt it. The blind spot in the Spyder with the top up is the worse I've experienced in any car save for a large cargo/box truck. I wish the Spyder offered a blind spot assist option. It would have been worth every penny.

if a Spyder RS comes with Signal yellow as an option… I can hear the value of my PTS Spyder plummeting at the very thought of it

That’s interesting, I‘ve read from a german forum that lots of dealers already got 6-7 allocations in 2022, way more available in Germany than US? Interesting.
