Spyder RS Allocation Thread

I’m blessed to have both 1.2mt & 4rs. I only have less than 100 miles on 4rs as it’s just delivered 3days ago. So far I really like it even I don’t track. On hwy9 it’s a riot. On pagemill it’s a bit too firm to really push thus I’m looking forward to srs due to it’s softer setup. For my needs a srs in a close ratio 6mt is the ultimate 1 gt car solution but we don’t know if porsche is gonna make it happen or not. Let’s pray!

I think you're right. 4RS is the real deal as a track car and a road car which is somewhat practical. SRS doesn't really work as a track car, and as a road car it's basically a 718 Spyder with a more powerful engine, louder and more varied soundtrack, and more radical looks (and no manual option and a top that's no so easy to deal with). I'm looking at getting the SRS mainly because I can't get a new 4RS at MSRP. I'm ok with an SRS at MSRP because I think it will tend to not depreciate too much, but paying an ADM is off the table for me.
SRS is perfect for the road (well almost, maybe a manual will be better) and some track duties, 4RS is not perfect for track or the road either...

You should go for a 4RS, Spyder is not for you. Sorry, the 4RS is a regular GT4 with a GT3 engine, the same rear suspension problem on the track, the same steering etc. Do you want a better track & road car? buy a 992 GT3 or 992 GT3 RS. These are a big step compared to previous versions (I had), chassis and steering are the big change compared to the 991.2 or 718 GT line.

You do have a point. I have a 991.2 3RS and a 992 GT3 is coming in October. My interest in the 4RS is as a mid-engine track car which is the best they've ever made (I tracked a Cayman R and sometimes a 981 GT4), and I think the 4RS would be a fun road car also. The appeal of the SRS is mostly because of the open top as a road car. If I could get an MSRP 4RS, I'd do it, but that's not happening; not willing to pay way over $200k for the car.

I also don't think it's the best track car they've ever made...at it's original MSRP it WAS the most affordable value GT car ever made...but after the $20k price bump and ADM...it's definitely not better than a GT3.

Does seem a 991.2 3RS and 4RS would be super redundant. They are engineered to make slightly different noises though(3RS more howl, 4RS more intake), but i don't think that's enough of a difference to own both. I guess if you have the garage space to keep everything...

Friend called a bunch of dealers asking for Spyder RS allocations, was quoted 50k-150k so far.

They offered him spots, or said what the spots would cost when they became available? In other words, were they willing to pre commit allocations?
