Do we need to stage an intervention?

I am not playing the real estate game on cars. This is way beyond my affordability. Nonetheless, some people will buy it to be the first guy around the neighborhood. I am interested to see how much the average ADM on the GT4 RS is going to be compared to the 992 GT3.

I think the adm will be around 30k for the second or third allocation. cause u can get a z06 at 100k

panmric

i bet the asking ADM will be 30k on average. but many are sold at msrp, cause only few people are interested in gt4rs rather than gt3.

Applies and oranges.

Allocations are not out yet.......I'm on the list with no ADM but have several VIPs and Customers ahead of me as I got late into the list....but you know what, since I have the PDK GT4 I'm Ok if I can't get this one and probably try for a 992 GT3 later on. We will see.

Was told initial GT3 ADMs were being accepted at $50K by clients. Last couple have gone as high as $80K. Expectations within the dealer network are to the tune of $100K on the GT4RS.

Apple to Oranges are useless compares. The GT4RS sits alone. There is no comparison.

It is interesting to see people who like to compare the GT4 RS to other cars and another group of people who said the GT4 RS stands along in its class. I agree with both groups.

GT4 RS is the pinnacle of the 982 platform and sure it is special in the modern Porsche lineup. Its importance/specialness could reach to the level of the 997 gt3 rs, but not at the level of a 991 speedster or 997 gt3 rs 4.0 (limited edition Porsches).

On the other hand, we are shopping around and sure people are going to compare the GT4 RS to other cars in two factors: 1) similar functions, and 2) similar price range.
If the gt4 and spyder are driver's cars, the gt4 rs may be categorized as road-legal track cars. To this extent, I think it is fair to compare C8 Z06 with the GT4 RS. Other track-focused contenders could be 991 GT3/GT3RS, etc.

From a price perspective, An MSRP of GT4 RS (let's assume it's 150k, 10k below the 992 gt3) + 100k can probably get you a regular GT4 and a Z06, or a brand new 992 GT3 with ADM. But if the ADM is on average 30k, this will put the GT4 RS in a very interesting spot, what track cars can you get at a 180k-200k price range? 991.2 GT3s? Mclaren 600LT? AMG GTR?

Well written @Dr.JDK .

nineball

am i reading these posts correctly? dealers are asking $80k-$100k OVER list price for a gt4rs???

R8 Performance V10 in your choice of RWD or AWD is $150k-$200K. Once you hit $200k, you are in Lamborghini Huracan Evo RWD territory, also with a V10.

Edit - I forgot they still make the Acura NSX, which is sub-$200k and very capable.

Some might argue that none of those are purist "track cars", but they are all extremely capable on any track, especially if you put track tires and better brake pads on them.

I am on a "list" for a GT3, I think I would rather have a GT3 than a GT4 RS for the money.

SToronto

I have a deposit. But don't expect to hear anything until it officially launches.

I am told that numbers are going to be low.

Cocaine or meth are far cheaper than this. And an intervention more likely to succeed.

My dealer in the Chicagoland has 25 on the list for the RS (allegedly). Recently they sold a GT3 for 50k markup for an odd color combo car.
