Great looking car. Shame the same folks show up to start an argument over nothing.
i think Golf Blue looks best in low light, like a cloudy day. Has such a really deep hue to it in that light.

I concur. Don't see anything wrong with what's going on here. Martin found a way to get cars at MSRP (isn't that something we're all trying to do?), the dealer takes care of a repeat customer (don't we want all dealers to charge MSRP and take care of loyal customers by sacrificing near-term profits, aka ADM?), and dealer gets car back to sell to the next customer (they are in the car SELLING business after all). Seems like a win-win situation here.

What they do is their business, but let's call a spade a spade. If I had the opportunity to get a car at MSRP, gently use it for a few months, sell it back to the dealer (who is then able to sell it as a "used" car above MSRP), and then roll that in to the next GT3 RS (and then 992 GT3, 992 GT3 RS, etc, etc), I'd do it too.

If it walks like a duck, if it quacks like a duck, and if it smells like a duck, it's Martin.

I've personally seen Martin at a track, actually driving his GT cars as intended. And far better than most I may add. He is the farthest thing from a flipper I've ever seen!
No need for all the childish name calling here.
What 'flipper' in their right mind would rather put miles on a 4.0 than on a regular GT3?? That makes no sense at all.

Some of you guys haven’t seen the ball since kickoff.
No one is debating the merits of free markets, capitalism or building a relationship with your dealer.
That’s all a red herring.

Doesn't the constant buy and churn get tiresome? You spent more time thinking about the car, talking about it and spec'ing it than you did driving it so what's the point exactly? Was it just insurance in the event you couldn't get an RS? It feels to me that Porsche GT cars are increasingly no different than the Ferrari game.

I can't wait for the weather to cool down so I can hit the track. You going to SMMR in late Sept with PCA Las Vegas?
