Smiling and dialing will lead to eternal GT4 RS happiness.
...At least until they bring out something faster, quicker, prettier, etc.
I have called almost all the dealers in the US for a GT4RS. I have a big spreadsheet with contacts and their response... I did miss out on 3 total 4RS allocations at 20k over because I was later than the next person calling back, so I certainly appreciate leads from this thread! I have been able to provide rennlist folks with GT4 and Spyder allocations from dealers I have talked to over the years at sticker, so it does happen here.

This is the way!
I received 5 first wave allocation offers by this method.
Gotta put the effort in if you want peak deal. If you’re ok with average deal broker do all work for you

This is how you do it when you really want to purchase a car. You will be rewarded..

I'm optimistic I will get one at or close to 20K ADM in the 2025 MY run, the chase is fun sometimes but I want back into a Cayman after driving the big Z06 for a year and tearing through brakes and tires like no tomorrow!

I don't want to derail this thread, but would love to hear about your time in the ZO6. C8?

Yes, C8 Z06. Short summary compared to a 718 GT4 which I owned and a GT4RS which I have driven on track as well:
- Z06 is 5 seconds faster with minimal seat time at COTA than GT4 with similar 200 TW tires and alignment. About two seconds faster than a GT4RS with me driving.
- Z06 is 3750 lbs and feels heavier. No steering or braking feel compared to Porsche GT cars.
- Magnetic dampers have a much wider range of adjustment, smooth ride when wanted and firm enough for track work
- Kills brakes like no tomorrow due to the speed
- Build quality and materials is nowhere near as good as Porsche.
- 5.5L FPC engine is an absolute gem. Sound is nuts, power everywhere, pulls hard to 8600 RPM redline
- Z06 will kill you if you aren't on your game with nannies off. GT4/GT4RS is a pussycat and very balanced. Z06 has 670HP and will snap and will murder you.
Z06 is a great car, but the feel, balance, and weight are much more to my liking with the 4RS. That said, the Z06 is good fun and so if I don't find a 4RS for a reasonable ADM it's still an amazing toy on track and the street.

Thanks for the insights! Pretty much confirms what I expected. Beast of a car! I was considering the Z06 before I got the 4RS. The dealers at the time were still asking for 50k on top of Z06 MSRP. And I kind of figured consumables would be a nightmare. Would still love to try one out. Good luck in your 4RS pursuit

Sounds exactly my experience with a Ford Mustang GT3 350R. Exactly..

Wasn't expecting it, but I'll take it.
