Excluding VIP - correct.

Porsche is basically giving ADM dealers auction rights knowing the numbers before allocations. They should have said how many deposits register those names and receive allocations based on that register vs auction with no allocation.

Modern day Tea Party for ADM dealers - shenanigans.

3 month shutdown?!? That sounds crazy.

That shouldn't be surprising based on the mess with the timing of the PTS GT3.2.

RE: Speedster: Interesting news, thanks! Kudos for acquiring, owning and driving your cars - you've got some special ones. I've got a Touring coming (PTS), so I'm more than content. Anxious to see what they're going to bring to the new Speedster.

Default Vip’s

I’ve had it with the Porsche brand!!!! I’d say a good 80% of the vip’s who will get a 991.2 gt3 rs won’t even spec the car properly, these people have money but no brains how to spec a road legal race car !!!! People you must remember this is a road legal race car please don’t put 18 way adjustables in the car with adding front lift, these options should not even be offered by Porsche in my opinion, as for the Vip shananagans I think it’s bull, I’m pretty sure I was the first on the list for a .2rs with my deposit dating back to 2014 and the dealer had enough ***** not to give me a slot but offer me a 2016 .1rs with 300km and 18 way adjustable seats with a discounted price or a 18 gt3 with 60km on the clock, im sure the 18 gt3 is on trade in because someone received the .2rs slot. After all this I decided that as of now I will no longer be a Porsche owner ever again I’m selling all 3 of my Porsche’s (17 Panamara turbo s) (14gt3) and my wife’s (17 turbo s cayenne), I’m buying a performate huracan and a Bentley bantega and saying good bye to the Porsche brand forever!!!

Show some resolve and don't give your money to VW at all by skipping the Lambo and Bentley.

I thought it would at least be available to VIPs. GT3 RS is the most important GT flagship car to many people. If PAG is not allowing PTS for any GT3 RSs, that's pretty significant.

Well, that's one way to deal with it... not sure how rational you are giving it right back to parent company VW...

I will never go to Porsche but I can’t stay away from the VW brand
VW still has some of the more attractive brands that seem to catch my eye,

im in Canada and I’m not willing to pay over msrp, can’t fathom why people do that, the guy who will buy that .2rs will probably pay 50k over and spec it with 18 way adjustables and a front lift, lol

What's your problem? You attack people that option 18 way seats and FL? Has it occurred to you that many have back issues and find the 18 much more comfortable? Since it is a street car the FL is required on many roads and driveways. Yes, they are a heavier as is the front lift but you really think improving your time by a half second will make that much difference in your life? Your attitude may have turned off your dealer and he probably is saying "GOOD RIDDANCE".
