Jimmy, it MAY be there but there is no reason for Porsche to allow us to drive it. The RS is sold out with a hopeless list of people praying to their car god that their name be called. No need for them to peddle it.

I still don't see the $50,000 delta between the GT3 and RS. Nor do many of the Porsche sales people. I suppose its like getting the $10,000 Apple Watch which essentially does the same thing as the $359 apple watch. Owing the best of the best.

^ I do not disagree with you regarding the justification for the delta. I am very happy with my GT3 and just uncovered her yesterday. Weather has been pretty good the last few days in IL so I am going to head home shortly and take her out for an hour.

I guess my main reason for wanting to drive it was to see if there is any justification. But in the end - it is the latest and greatest so I get it. We all work hard for our money and every one is entitled to spend it as they see fit

Got mine today. Look forward to it.
t will be great if we can coordinate the dates where we can finally meet some of the members on the Rennlist. We should try to make a master list to keep track of Rennlist members going and on which date. Just a thought. Mark

But, weren't you affected? as in an original 2014 order that was switched to a 2015? I believe the event is only for those affected by the stop sale, meaning you originally ordered a 2014 prior to the stop sale.
