If the Spyder RS ADM proves to be excessive, there is always DeMan. The 4.5 along with some suspension upgrades would probably provide a ride that is equally compelling as the RS.

700. Every dealer gets a couple; large dealers obviously get more.

That guess is based on 991.1/2 all GT production/NA deliveries. Looks pretty constant at around 1/3 rd of production.

Then Canada might get ~ 70, not a lot to go around...

Yep. My numbers hover around the 40% mark for the US market.

If they are going to make it a true limited edition final boxster, might as well give it the 3rs engine treatment. The final hoorah and an eternal Porsche icon.

From this angle, it looks like the humps are more pronounced, as in they sit higher than the regular Spyder.

Looking into the cow bell, wasn't there a floor with a small hole before, and now it appears open...?

I'm not seeing any changes on that mule. You also have to go out of your way to wash a car that badly.

Oh yeah, n4v4nod pointed out the "deeper" cow bells in the last spy shots. I missed that.
