It looked OK in person. It was briefly on the track for a photo session on Friday afternoon. Sounded good, not sure if it was louder than a GT2RS. Hard to be enthused about it given it’s not a homologation car and it was surrounded by hundreds of historic race cars @ Rennsport.
I can't see how a Cup run the same way ie not raced wouldn't be more or less the same cost to run if not cheaper.
The main differences I was considering are the Sequential gearbox and the high revving race motor of the Cup. PDK doesn’t have the annual refresh requirements of the sequential (this used to be $7k 10 years ago - probably more now) and the $25k rebuild cost of the motor which has 100 hour service interval.
The 935 has street drivetrain from GT2 RS. Low revving motor (lower than a base Carrera) and street pdk are designed for much longer service intervals.
I'm with CJ right now eating s'mores around a campfire after Rennsport, reading this thread cuddled under a blanket together.. and he says he doesn't want his allocation.. first one to DM him gets it. Ballsy move on his part.. I'm impressed.
I wondered about that myself. I know CJ is successful and has the means, but is there ever a point where you say this is too much? Even at dealer cost, this is not a good buy. Probably not with these limited editions as the greater fool theory says you will always have really rich guys who will pay up to be in the club.
We ended up running into these random German dude who desperately wanted to show us their gold 993 turbo they build... 935 allocation already sold in order to pay for this one off beauty...
