Given adm on these how do you think this will compare to a Tecnica Roadster?

 

Apologies if already mentioned earlier in the thread, but it looks like Porsche took Christopher Walken's advice to improve on the Spyder:

 

Driving experience? Show-off factor? Most people seem to prioritize rarity or perceived unobtaniumness (that's a word) to evaluate what a car is like to own. I try to be immune to that.. but I'm not. the more rare a car is the less i enjoy driving it like it should be driven, or as after as it should be driven

Having said that.. lambo v10 is so fun, such an occasion.. the tecnica will probably be peak amazing. The Spyder RS?... more of a subtle experience, it's not a screaming Italian v10.

Who knows? But don't buy above MSRP.. this is a $200k car, not a $300k+ car like the tecnica

 

Driving experience. Show off factor I can live with, but Lambo douche factor is on another level 😆 🤣 😂.

I can't help but think the Spyder RS is going to be epic. The price point is where it gets interesting/challenging.

I really enjoyed my 991 Speedster especially with a jcr exhaust. I just couldn't justify a price tag so much above a gt3 touring. It was over £100k in the UK with heritage pack vs a fully.loaded touring. I hope this car doesn't get a similar price hike vs the gt4 rs.

My want for a Spyder RS is BIG and I like it is also quite undercover even with all the racer bits. That V10 technica roadster seems pretty special though.

I am currently enjoying my 675lts and it has made me realise that, God willing, I always need a top down fun car in my life.

 

That's fine to say, but unless you are the #1 customer at a dealership, the chance of someone getting a sniff of an SRS at ADM is gonna be zero, right? So, great advice to that 0.01% who fit that category, but says to the rest of us "it ain't worth it, buy something else." So unless you're a Leno or Seinfeld: it won't be worth the price, buy something else.

 

If I can't get this Spyder MSRP or low ADM I'll be happy with my MSRP Z06.

 

That's exactly the advice! Don't bother above msrp. as previous mentioned.. take a "regular" spyder and spend $45k on a demann 4.5L engine plus short gearbox and you have an SRS beater with a manual!

 

Instead of trying to replicate the intakes of the coupe, why not do something different and appropriate for the Spyder. Those intakes look horrible.

 

You must be a good client of a GM dealership to get one at MSRP. Well done.

 

So all those folks buying 4rs’ are suckers? At least here in the land of ADM?

Buying an aftermarket motor is not for everyone, for a number of reasons which I won’t go into here. If that’s your bag, bravo, but don’t paint it as a no-brainer.

 

Now isn't that an interesting suggestion...

 

Maybe they are making it ugly like that just to mess with us?

It looks like that entire plastic panel as seen on the previous Spyder is now fixed so why make the intake so small when they could take advantage of the increased area to make a smoother transition...

 

They should just do a central snorkel, Ariel Atom style, direct into the airbox and be done! (just kidding!)

 

because that would require a new fender design.
