old school yes, but wife warms me child service thinks differently

grew up immigrant in school with big jocks. I'm short and skinny. get picked on. nevertheless, I kicked the guy in the ***** and poured my milk over his head (he was sitting at lunch table I was standing up after he flicked his fried to my lunch... ). the faces of the other football guys and cheerleaders were price less. luckily he was too big and slow to retaliate before we got pulled apart. then he had some serious respect for me. now we still great friends even after I wrecked his new 1000cc bike in the parking lot. oh no, I didn't ride it, I can't hold it upright in high school. it was too heavy for me.....he told me to hold it and see if I can ride it, the minute he let's go, I dropped it lol

I think a bit of quarrel amongst sibling and friends bring them closer. SO, next time I slot at u, I am simply befriending u lmao

ok, let's all go,drove our cars now
I love it. Thank you.

With all due respect to the OP,Porsche ain't talking... And even if true,unless it comes with a flat 8, 600HP and 1350kg,one would be hard pressed to spend that kind of money. I'm sure they'll find 500 people to sell these things,but will it be a value proposition...?
All the speculations I've seen so far are related to logic and past experience : how far can you push a flat 6? 4.2L? Porsche wants a reliable engine so they'll probably stop at 4.0L. How much extra power can you get with a 4.0L,intake and exhaust...30-40HP. That's where the speculated numbers are coming from...
Bigger wing,more downforce,bigger tires,lighter panels,decals bla bla...classic.
PDK-SR because race car...
What am I missing...nothing.
It won't surprise me at all...most likely.
235K? They can keep it.

I'm guessing there aren't many people that are willing or ready to track a $200k+ car in anger. That's the reason why there aren't that many Ferraris, McLarens, and Lambos at the track. But I could be wrong, in this new "new normal"...

The question is; will the new RS be an even more extreme track car than previous or will they make it more street/user friendly. Now that I am asking myself this question; in which scenario do they place themselves in a better position to sell it for $235,000?( I do not believe they will price it there but lets pretend they do)

Could it be both more street friendly and a more extreme track car? Given the amount of adjustment available in suspension etc these days and potential trickle down of more 918 technology? The 918 R&D cost is sunk, why not maximize their return on investment and help marketing "justify" the $235k price tag.

^ Good point- I guess the 991 GT3 has proven they can deliver both. I still do not believe the price will be any more than $200,000 US for the base

My '11 RS had a much harder edge than the current GT3 IMHO.

My info might be off but a Cup Car is the most extreme and it's $234k. If this was true it would make this version more expensive for a street legal Cup Car? 235k makes no sense no matter how you slice it unless the next RS is not a GT3 RS but a GT2 RS and they just don't bother with the GT3 due to the need to turbo it.
