Cool! I know a hundred places to track that slippery &*$# down ever season.
But seriously, talking about dream cars is a necessary respite from the 400th pdk vs manual thread, regardless of whether getting one enters the realm of the possible.
@Westcoast Continuing in the vein of using 4RS videos to assess spyder rs desirability, here is a video focused on “daily driving”, and it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Even if we could get it, would mere mortals enjoy it more than a standard spyder (excluding track days and the (locally) rare chance for a smooth, curvy backroad blast)? Will it only be suitable as a curio for collectors, or those topless-only-for-me track rats? (Tip of the hat to @Mr.Brick ) BGTS owners will say the spyder is already “too much” for regular use.

At the end of the day it's easy: if you can get a SRS at a decent price, buy one. Chances are high that you will be having lots of fun and don't burn a lot of money as its value will not drop a lot. No brainer.
Needless to say that it is way better to have something different as a daily, e.g. a SUV.

I will be there on the 17th for the press debut. 👍🏼
My gut tells me that 3 debuts is unlikely. Out of all three, the Carrera T makes the most sense. As there is already NHSTA documentation that it’s a 2023 MY.
Then the Spyder RS… simply because the 718 is EOLC. Dakar has less time restraints.
All guesses at this point.

Do any of the RS models come stock with harnesses? US models I wouldn't think would, since they won't come from Porsche with cages.
Harnesses in a convertible are problematic. I would be MORE surprised if they came stock from the factory that way, than if not.

I wish and hope that it is an option to order from the factory as a package (possibly clubsport) as in the rest of RS. If not, I think I'll change my current spyder for a GT3

the finished SRS mule we saw on the Ring was WP but had 3 points belts
then yes somebody thinks they’re dangerous on a roofles car… somebody no…

The Spyder RS doesn't have to follow the GT4 RS, heck it already broke the rule of no cabriolets allowed!
