Wrong.

Outside of Canada and USA, 918 owners are just owners. Some are VIPs to their dealership simply because of their buying history, not because of the 918.

Having said that, some of those "VIPs" still got screwed over by their dealers because of greed. Can't name names but I know quite a few. Many in the UK actually.

I thought Canada had no VIP program. You know the 918 owners so I trust you. Can't fathom why that would be the case though.

There is a partial VIP program.

It doesn't follow the PCNA one, but 918 owners still gets first dibs until they sell the car, once the car is sold the status terminates.

Generally if a customer has a pipeline direct to dealer he will get more chances to buy the heavier cars...918 or not. The hardest thing is selecting the one guy for a car like the Speedster which is a lot more affordable vs the GT2RS (self eliminating)

2nd hardest.

Hardest would be how to say no to the other 50 angry customers that you didn't pick

If they are going to make 1948 of them, what does ADM look like? My dealer has me very close to the top of the list such that I would likely get one (being a local and the breakfast sandwiches and being cool about stuff seems to help). If it is a manual it is even better than a GT3 as I like cabs so it could replace my 993 cab (let’s be honest I will keep them all).

Given the 997 speedster popularity (good but not insane) and the ~2x 911R production, any hope for ~50k or less?

More potential buyers will want this car with PDK and if MT only as reported demand will be high but not insane given the reported 1948 units.

If they really make 1948 there wont be many ADMs...that's enough on the ground that lots of people will get them. More GT3 vs RS if that makes sense.
