You’re a NY guy and you have an MSRP dealer nearby? I can’t think of a single NY or NJ dealer who is at MSRP but kudos to you and your finding. Maybe that’s the trick… way out of State. I’ve encountered some fine people from different dealers across the country but have found the small dealers do not have a prayer of having allocation for more than one GT4/Spyder RS and who did not even have a prior 918 new delivery.

I currently own my 13th and 14th Porsches but I can barely get an annual service at MSRP let alone one of these rare cars. Must be some heavy hitters locking these cars up without ADM.

Most of the DFW dealers are MSRP, but their lists are correspondingly long, and the Best Customer types still snipe almost all the good stuff. Pick your poison.

First car I've purchased from the auto group and I service at an Indy, didn't trade anything in.
I get nothing from sharing this other than to help others understand there are good dealers out there.

Autobahn Fort Worth is MSRP, but they are saying that they’ll only get 2 cars or so….

All the DFW dealers but Plano are “MSRP.” But…that is not to say you can go in and get anything desirable unless you’ve been with them since dirt was invented, and for some of them, you know to “play by the rules.”
I got my spyder at Plano. Admittedly RIGHT before they started charging ADM on spyders, but still.
Pick your poison. At least ADM is egalitarian.

^^^^ Good use of the “” around MSRP…haha.
I’ve talked to many of these dealers about the Spyder RS and gotten the “brief”—-which I was well aware of.
There is a cost to acquiring these special cars and simple terms like ADM and MSRP really don’t apply as there’s too much additional individual accounting going on

Okay, not an A list reviewer, but this may be the best sounding review I’ve heard. This is pure ICE ear ****. OMG!
I need that sound in my life! I am now officially sold.

His superlatives about the car tell us pretty much nothing, because he provides no meaningful comparisons. Of course the steering feel is good, the car turns well, the car is not slow, and it sounds pretty good. Same can be said for lots of cars. But what are the differences?!
And I think his comments about the car being really fast discredit him. I assume it will be about as fast as a 4RS, which is not a slow car, but it does feel kind of slow compared to lots of other cars. There's no instantaneous acceleration with this car, it needs to be wound up in order to go.
Regarding the sound, anyone contemplating buying the SRS should give the 4RS a listen. Assuming they sound similar, my subjective opinion is that the 4RS sounds pretty good, but to my ears the GT3/RS cars sound better - a fuller sound compared to the 4RS, which sounds a bit thinner. I think it's very difficult to judge the sound from videos.
My order of preference is still 4RS over the SRS, but even if I get neither of them, I'm ok with that. I drove my friend's Hyundai Elantra N yesterday, and I was really impressed with it, a true driver's car for only $40k brand new. Makes Porsches seem like overpriced poser's cars.

Another useless review, other than his mentioning that the SRS will go into MY 2025, so maybe y'all don't need to trample over each other rushing to pay a big ADM to get this thing. And he has no authority to assure us that the car will keep increasing in value, his crystal ball isn't any better than yours or mine.

Spoken just like someone who cannot get an allocation of either nor likely afford anyway. Your review of the reviewer wasn't so good either LOL! Best to keep your thoughts to yourself when you don't have one nor ever will have one. I'm sure there is a board somewhere that discusses the Elantra where you can contribute legitimately. Good luck!

The word is “poseur”

If we are going to be / discuss poseurs, let’s at least get the word right. And you have to say it with your pinky finger out. 😎
