I'm going ghetto - which is a $300 torque multiplier that uses the floor to react, 3/4" digital torque gauge, my old Snapon 1/2" beam torque wrench, and a woodworking clamp.

Popped the money for a car with center locks... go for it and pay to get your wheels swapped by your pit crew

Agree with you tho, Its almost like a CF hood needs a CF roof to balance the look.

P.

You can always request it as a CXX option

I see people saying certain dealers have an ADM of 100k+. So how does this work? The dealer is practically selling an allocation for that amount? So while some dealers may not even get allocations, or all allocations are taken by VIP's, other dealers just decide to sell them?

I can’t wait for the first post from a future RS owner complaining about the whirring, ticking, banging, hissing nosies the engine makes and the general noise level of the cars interior 😂

Cheers,
Harry.

If...I think this is a car that doesn't need many of the available options. Guards, WP, Mags, and LEDs... $176,120


(Yes, I realize these wheels are not the Mags, but I uploaded the wrong pic)

Ha! I agree. We won't hear about that though. They'll just be flipped for something more pedestrian. Me likely loud.

I just received my GT3 allocation this Monday and saw the release of the GT4RS. So I asked my SA what is the situation for GT4RS allocation at the dealer. He told me he has 4 on the list for a while, no words from Porsche and not likely to get allocation. For now I will keep my GT3 for next summer delivery unless something change before my May build lockout date. Not going to give up MSRP GT3 spot that easily!!!

Northtown Porsche Buffalo NY. My SA is Russ. My GT4 delivered this January was MSRP too and Northtown has no ADM. I was 8th on the GT3 list earlier this year and I figured it will be 2-3 years before I get an allocation. Needless to say I was surprised to get a call this week because others had back out.
