To be fair, 488 and 720S are regular production cars, so you can't compare them to the Porsche GT cars. Cars like the Pista or the SVJ are more comparable (not in price, of course). You can definitely get any Lamborghini special editions cars at MSRP but I don't think you can buy any special Ferraris or certain Mclaren's at msrp without prior purchase history.

Finally Mooty, the truth comes out! I always wondered about that. All you do is eat sweets and ride bikes all day

Once you take a step back and look at total cost, you have to compare options. That being said- the GT cars from porsche consistently hold up to heavy use. I cannot imagine trying to replicate my use-case history with a different brand.

This new speedster is a mile past the last one for sure.

I never respond to these types of questions because the only answer which counts is in the OP's heart, and he/she already knows the answer.

But, then I gave in because this is fun and I have an opinion which is worth maybe 0.5cents.

Gt2RS is REALLY fun, but only for a little bit.. then it just becomes a stupidly fast car which you have to drive slowly everywhere except for the track.. but it's pretty valuable so you won't really track it.. so then it just becomes an OOH-AAAH car for others which is THE WORST.

The speedster, will be the car you want to put your wife/girlfriend/mistress/daughter/best friend in on a sunny day, take the top down, and enjoy at every speed from 0mph to whatever that screaming 9000rpm engine will give you..

There is not even a question in my mind, that the speedster will give you greater enjoyment for the money.

Also, you think Mooty is kidding but he's not.. the movie Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was inspired by his life story.

Also also... both of these cars are overpriced va the competition... at $300k I'm in a 720s Spyder.

No question GT2 RS, ridiculous car. think it looks better.

Speedster seems a bit too expensive, first thought was Porsche was taking advantage of the market, because of what happened with the 911 R.

Maverick11

Ill just have a boring MT GT3 for half the cost. Just as good to drive in its own way as the others.

I struggle with this statement. Price aside, the 2rs is arguably the most capable and best performing vehicle on the road/track today from the factory. What would you buy for that price that will outperform?

Dealers are sitting on tons of 600LT inventory and were handing out allocations like candy. I can't image the 750LT being any different.

Just one at a time?

I vote for Speedster when dating and GT2RS when divorcing for quick exit.

mooty

you took the words right out of my mouth, but way more eloquently.


take the top off the car or the mistress? I guess both then.



I am glad you watched my movie

you know how it is...

manouk

take the top off the car or the mistress? I guess both then.
couple guys I wanna meet before I die. Messi and Mooty . And party with Maradona for a weekend

Between 911R and Speedster, 6MT GT3 feels like the steal of the century.

It’s the 440 to the 426 hemi.

I would argue that the steal of the century is the 918 Spyder

I second that. On equal footing I believe the 918 Spyder is a better overall deal than the LaFerrari and Mclaren P1. Even though it was a million dollar car at the time of its release, the privilege alone that gives the owner any car S/He wants off the production allocation model is a definite plus which is a "steal" by itself. No disrespect to CGT which is another magnificent car, the maintenance on the 918 is substantially lower in cost then a CGT. Even if the battery needs to be replaced, it is about $40K. $40K on an engine pull out on a CGT is average if you need to replace internal components such as the carbon clutch. At any rate, CGT is up there when it comes to collectibles.


Back to regular programming. The Speedster and the GT2RS are two very differing cars. Both at good at its own traits and features. The GT2RS holds history currently for holding the Nurburgring record for a production model. How many cars overall can stake a claim as such. It is mild enough to drive around, and and hunk of a beast if you let loose its inner soul.I have not had a convertible in a long time and looking forward how it once feels again, which is open top driving is simply relaxing.

Drive safe,
