If anyone is in the Los Angeles/ OC area and wants to start a relationship up with a dealer that actually knows and appreciates the product, I have only 1 deposit so far.

We are going to try to keep our allocations for local customers though- again we would like to build a relationship with our clients.

Congradulations, dude. I've been with the brand for 4 years now, and I am more excited about this car than anything else I've seen since the GT3RS 4.0


This is going to be a special car...

Geez, no flame, but "cough, cough" BS "cough, cough". That is just purely sales talk. GL

Sounds like you have had some bad dealership experiences in the past... I'm sorry.

I just learned to deflect and counter that which is thrown at me. But keep trying; afterall 4 years is still young.



P.S.
Since you are advertising, did you submit the sponsorship form yet.

dealer is bad until proven good
i have been with the brand for 30 years ;-)
i am local to you with several properties and homes there.
i like to have 991RS at msrp, deposit can be wired immediately once you provide a written contract with dealership owners' signature.

central coast? where is that? SLO?

I like the comparison to a 10 year old GT3, which let's not forget is a dry sump Metzger motor with an 8500 RPM redline..

In Germany you're dealing directly with the manufacturer a lot of the time...seems to be a lot better system from what I've witnessed.

Gary -- no worries. A lot of us interested in the GT4 are with you buddy. Unfortunately it is what it is. Please show me where I can get a Mezger motor with an 8500 RPM redline new at any price or a comparable car made by another manufacturer and I'll jump at it...

Placed the reservation. I am No. 2 on the list. Submitted white on black rims, radio delete and fire extinguisher. Thats it, as it intended to be a track beast.
