The people who take what's said on the net seriously are the same one that miniature golf seriously.

IMO Rosenbergendo has contributed greatly to this forum. He is entitled to his opinions.

Personally I am happy to say anything to your face I would say in a forum.

I'm one of the organizers standing out front welcoming people and helping them park.

Stop by this Saturday, 7:30AM is usually when I arrive. I'll buy you a cup of coffee.
Now that is a much better response. 👍

No problem. I have had some memorable posts, like the time I photoshop'd a 991 GT3 RS to let everyone know how I would have improved it. It took a while before it dawned on me that I had insulted half the forum.

Sorry!

Do we know anyone that paid $500K? I would think most of the owners are VIP that paid MSRP.

headline is not that correct...
jethro said it this way: if you paid 500k+ for an R than you are an "idiot".

in my opinion: everybody who paid 190-300k for an R - does have a winner in the garage!

I am from same camp...anything i say on net I would say to your face. That said, I have wanted an R but the market is too rich for me. I am still hoping they come down.

I thought you bought an R? Personally I don't want one period. But that's just me.

How are you so sure of that? I assume it's unlikely you have ever driven the R nor is it likely that you have driven the .2 gt3 yet.

Based on the hardware differences, one can be imo fairly sure the dual clutch/e-diff car will be a very different car to the R to drive. For all anyone knows, it's possible and perhaps probable even that the manual .2gt3 might feel significantly different due to differences in chassis tuning/ecu programming.

Hard to call anyone an idiot when they are throwing around 500k for cars. Chances are they have done a few things right.

I thought he bought one too? He started a thread titled 'bought an r' guess he changed his mind?

Explain to me how the "driving experience" will differ.

It's possible the GT3 is a better driving experience (whatever that means) given what reviewers have written. I was trying to be kind to the R.
