i can't say anything bad about them
they was prefect with my Macan Turbo , i built it as i wanted
i guess Porsche dealer become greedy , but i understand their side
they want to make maximum profit.
and they have 918 customers or previous customers they more obligate to them.

Sorry you had that experience. I have had the opposite and will never buy a car from anyone but Hennessy. Not saying, by any stretch, your in this crowed but they have had it with jerks crapping on them by telling them how much they flipped their cars for etc. Deal with Scott Hamilton and get to know Mark the General manager should you wish to give them another try.
I am on the younger side - Sean knows me offline - and I was shopping for a 993 in early 2012 (I was 22 at the time). Hennessy had one on the lot, and I showed up on Friday evening to drive it after having called ahead. The salesman snidely told me "Son, we don't allow kids to joyride these cars. You might be able to afford a first generation Boxster, though." I bought a 993 the next weekend.
Fast forward to 2015. I had sold my 993 for a reasonable profit, and also owned a 997.1 GT3 briefly during the interim; it was a total loss after a 16 year old hit me on Peachtree. I started shopping for another car in June 2015, drove Sean's first 991 GT3, and bought a car with buckets from an RLer.
I took it to Hennessy to do an oil change in August 2015:
The SA, Dan Bush, asked me "Is this your car, or your dad's?" WTF?
The SA also insisted I needed an $800 annual service on a car that was 8 months old with ~3k miles; he was, of course mistaken. He had several weeks of experience at a Porsche dealer at that point.

very professional.

how much over MSRP you paid for your RS?
i don't want to buy used RS and pay over $60,000
i prefer to get new from the dealer.

What I don't know is since some of them are buying undelivered cars from their customers if they are "new" and when they were punched in.
But there are a few dealers with cars they built I've seen many build sheets where they were the buyer.

Best of luck with your search! Maybe look into some of the newer dealers that have just opened up or are planning to soon? Those that come into mind are Porsche of West Broward (FL) and Porsche Chandler (AZ), which is opening any day now or just opened this week.

thank you 
i agree with you , the 675LT it's a better car
the chassis unbelievable , i feel more connection to the car then the GT3
you can really feel the power to weight ratio advantage.
i don't want to replace it with Porsche
i want the Porsche addition to it.
the Perfect garage for me:
1. 675LT
2. Porsche GT car
3. V8 / V10 / V12 NA engine car , nothing come close to the sound of those engines , like 458 , Lambo V10 or Ferrari V12 no matter what model.
the engine sound ever heard it's the Carrera GT , i drove this car for around 20 min , i will never forget it , what a car !!
Huracan also , fantastic engine - i can't imaging how well the Hurcan superleggera will sound !

Congrats! 675LT is a way better car than GT3 or even GT3 RS to me.
Comparing to the money you paid for 675LT, it's easy for you to get the next RS. Just buy 2-3 Porsche(I believe they prefer cars like 911, Panamera; Cayenne and Macan are not counted) from the same dealership, or trade cars like GT3/GT4 to them. That should be enough for you to get an RS allocation.

i have Macan Turbo
we have new baby (my first baby)
and we need bigger SUV
so i order Audi Q7
when the Q7 will arrive , i will not need the Macan anymore
so i will need car for myself
i thought since i can't find any brand new GT3RS for a price i think worth to pay
maybe i will get GT4 , enjoy it for 1-2 years
and look for GT3RS in the meantime.
i search today at Cars.com for Yellow or Blue GT4
many i found already sold
or they don't have the option i like to have.
