Will .2 GT3 RS be easier to obtain?

IMHO, the GT3.1 RS will not be an investment. As soon as the .2 RS comes out, prices will really tumble. Just look at 997.1 GT3 RS prices (at least in Europe) compared to 997.2 prices. 60-80,000 euro difference! That's a lot.
Indeed, I expect it to be even worse with the 991.1 considering they made a boatload of them (in relative terms).
Across Europe and the UK now, there are over 200 991 GT3.1 RSs for sale with prices already starting to fall. Used car buyers are going to be able to pick and choose. It will be a buyers market, not a sellers.

These cars were never meant to be investments.

At my age, closing in on 60 I'm rapidly thinking more towards retirement in a 5 to
10 year window and tiring quickly of throwing $ and chasing the latest and greatest when what I have is awesome to start with . I May just keep it and enjoy it in retirement. I'll never really miss or notice that the second or two faster the new model will be at Lagun Seca anyway or the 5 second difference at the Ring. In the end who cares? Me, less and less.

991.2 GT3 prices will support this.
991GT3RS is one of the best 911s ever made. When all the dust settles in the next 12 months. Would easily expect prices to re test the highs.....

Tumble how far? Below prices of 991GT3? That will Push everything down with it. I don't see that ever happening. Msrp at worse. I believe Martin is right that the .2RS will be much more expensive and ADMs will be through the roof . If that occurs 991.1RS values could rise.

Don't people become less argumentative, dogmatic, and tense as they age? Don't people who own 5 expensive sports cars become more humble?

I suspect, for some owners, they are able to purchase the car, through financing or other means, but they really can't afford to drive/track the car to any extent, as the period depreciation and running costs would be too much for them to stomach. Hence, they keep the miles low, baby the car, etc. And others buy the car merely for eye candy. I think the segment of the market that a) enjoy tracking enough to make it worth the time/cost investment, b) have the money to actually cover the full cost of doing so in an RS as a period hobby expense, and c) don't choose to do it in a different car for discretionary reasons related to cost of driving style, is actually very small.
