And all the advantages and disadvantages that go with it we will just have to accept and learn to love!

Most don't. If they did Porsche would build 2,000-3,000 like they do with the GT3.

I've never preferred turbo charged cars. I like the sound of NA engines.
After driving the 991.2 I'm actually very impressed. Hardly any lag, thy torque is crazy fun. So qurious about the 991gt2rs.

In a normal market the price difference keeps the gt2rs out of reach for a lot of people. Not the case at the moment. With 991gt3rs being sold at $250k. The step is not that far to get the gt2rs.

The GT2rs will be quite the GT. Yes most can't afford it or even be able to get a chance to buy one, but why make them, is what I say? Most purist now won't track their 3rs let alone a 2rs. Are these future potential buyers only going to bubble wrap them or actually drive them?

Sure, but if sticker is say 275 on gt2rs, aren't we going to see the same market spikes assuming GT3rs are at that 250 number? Can't even imagine what a 2 PTS would go for on secondary market assuming difficult availability.

Personally I think market will calm down and we can get back to normal again.

Not for the faint of heart to track a $250k car, but there are people doing it.
Green and blue are popular at the moment. In 10 years they might be not so popular. We never know and seem do forget really quick. There is plenty of people on RL that's have seen all these trends come and go. I've only been addicted to this brand for 25 years so still a rookie.

One thing is for sure, I think the gt2rs will be amazing and can't wait to see and drive one.

I can see your point,

Its remarkable how many 991RS is being sold. It's likely more than double of 997.1RS.
Can't see the market holding up with that many cars produced. Some will move from gt3rs to gt2rs. Similar to how many moved from 991gt3 to gt3rs.

I think many current 991 GT3 RS owners who get their hands on a GT2 RS will keep it in addition (vs trading), I know I will, since the turbo will be a much different beast.

I have a feeling one drive if the 991.2 GT2RS may render the GT3/RS redundant! Luckily I'm not in a position to afford one lol
