GT4RS will be probably around 130-135 K base price and as with Porsche you can go much higher from there ..
how much ADM will people pay , no one knows the answer ..
but on the dealers side , the current car market is crazy , so that will support higher ADM

Or you need to be clearer when you quote a post; sticker means way too many different things to different people, incl ADM side sticker. Just because you optioned 25% of the car's base MSRP doesn't justify anything. This is an RS and not everybody loads it up for coffee and donuts at starbucks. Some actually take it out and drive it like its meant to be; track, in inclement weather, etc.

I've heard from some sources that the engine is a detuned GT3 engine, and they're pretty confident it's not the 9A2evo. But whatever the engine is , i will pay no ADM.

You and I both know that most of these will be optioned up, and will spend most of their lives polished in climate controlled garages, only to be resold every two years with 800 miles added. Just like the typical GT3RS.

I’m on a large NE dealer distro list based on a 981 Spyder inquiry years ago.

Yesterday I got my monthly “How can we help with your next Porsche purchase” email. I hit reply asking about RS allocations.

The SA finally responded saying he couldn’t find “my file” (I’ve never bought from them) and only very good customers with files will be offered waitlist spots.

LOL…not unexpected so I politely asked to be removed from their distro sends.

He responded by sending me a link to a 991.1 GTS letting me know I’d look great in it and I’d gain access to the waitlist with the purchase.

I didn’t even ask about ADM.

This will be the car purchase equivalent to Hunger Games

Very true. There could be good deals down the road to acquire an 800-mile garage queen for much less price than that ridiculous 80-100k ADM for the first batch. The only downside is that you don't get to spec your car. I can only justify paying ADM (up to a certain level, <30k for 4RS) by the privilege of speccing the car my way.
But it is also possible that the car will double its price a couple of years later. Who knows?

I have a deposit down and I'm guessing that I have a 90% chance of getting an allocation. With the November release, I'm sure the demand will skyrocket.

Thoughts on launch color? Maybe a new yellow? Personally I think the Python would rock the casbah..

Its a Ferrari tactic.. "look! I have this gently used Cali which will open the door for you to order a new...." They get to make profit on the Cali 3x and you get an F8 allocation.

What does it take to reach 90% certainty? What does that look like?

I would be surprised if Python is the launch color for the GT4 RS just because it was for the 4.0 in general and for the new MY22 Macan GTS as well.

My guess is either there won't be a special launch color or it'll be something new that will be exclusive to the GT4 RS for the better part of a year, when they'll make it available on some other models (like they did with MGM and Papaya Metallic).

+1, I actually just put a deposit down today at my local dealer and he said no other deposits have been taken for the car. I'm sure there's going to be ADM's and I think my chances of actually getting one are 10-20%
