Dealers don't publicly advertise all cars they have incoming especially at large markups so they don't get skewered by the media/enthusiasts and to try to keep it on the low from Porsche. If you truly want a PTS car for 70k over then PM me and I'll be happy to point you in the right direction. None of these are selling for 300k+ and can be had for 70k over for a small amount of effort or just hire a broker. Btw WP is required to get PTS so all of the PTS cars will have them.

I have a northeast dealer with a GT4RS allocation. Will be September build so PCCB will likely be an option is what he's telling me. 75k over MSRP.

Is that a MY24 allocation?

Cali dealers might be more down to earth on ADM's because they will be receiving more cars. The Bay Area alone with 7 dealerships should be getting around 70+ 4RS'.

Agreed! I could get 40 over here in Cali a few months ago. Was told 25 over on the next batch last week if I want it....

I'm holding out for sticker most likely lol, they're (luckily) pumping these things out. Given the environment I am fine waiting as things seem to be coming back to earth extremely fast in the car market. If you were a friend asking me advice, I'd say to holdout as well haha

I got cars to enjoy until then, and I am sure I'll regret going back to PDK at some point, so I can enjoy the manual again for now, but I am a sucker for RS.

Also did ask about 718r and it being numbered, they told me yeah not gonna happen for me BUT! Maybe they add a manual option to the RS towards the end.....one can dream right?

Did they actually semi-acknowledge the R was a real thing, then? Or just that numbered cars are true Unobtanium?

If they add a manual option to an existing pdk-only car line, some of the people that bought early are going to lose their ever-freakin minds. lol I guess they did it with the 991.1 - .2 GT3s. Was there large scale rebellion by those with 991.1 cars?

They didn't necessarily acknowledge the car, but that if it's numbered their hands will be tied, even said Porsche corp. might be the ones giving the allocations like Ferrari does. I will be shocked if that car doesn't happen, I think when it does the gt4rs excitement will wane a bit which should help us enthusiast that want to actually drive these things how they're meant to. Unlike the past, where most GT cars were custom ordered by customer, it seems a lot of dealers are just speccing the 4rs for themselves hoping to get a ton when they hit the floor...I don't see that going well as it's a pretty niche car I would think most want to order themselves. I personally won't ever buy a GT4rs if I can't check the boxes

The 991.1's definitely dropped by a good margin once that happened

I noticed that there is almost exactly 100 pounds weight difference between US and Euro model (based on the specs published). US model is heavier. I wonder where it gains weight. Is it structural? "Track your dream" actually lists Euro specs, which is how I noticed it.

+1000 The only way I buy one is my specs ~$162k and no ADM, otherwise I would buy a 991.2 GT3/RS. Guess I will be in a plain old GT4 forever.
