Can anyone please PM me if they have a lead on a specable GT3 RS position under $50K? Lowest I've found in CA is $50k. Thanks!

A friend at the Luft event in LA sent me a photo of this one available at South Bay Porsche

Do not tell your Wife. I've noticed they can not tell the difference on these models

As long as you keep getting same color.

Hahaha! Exactly! My GT3 is actually a base cayman.

Still calling around in the NE without much luck for anything reasonable on a speccable GT3. Narrowed down my options to the MB GT R I can just go pickup off a lot, or the upcoming M2 CS if I can find an allocation. Looked at the Corvette a bit but couldn't get past the interior. GT R and R8 seem to be the high water mark in terms of track performance with best in-class interior, but there's something still pulling me towards the GT3 (I realize the Turbo or S would be a better comp with both of those than a GT3). M2 CS is unique, more functional, 1/4 the price, and *should* be easier to find.

I just saw a video on the M2 Comp Series. That looks very promising. I also like the MB GTR and think many have jumped over to try that car out with all the ADM mess. I was certainly tempted.

I think MB nailed it with that car. It's certainly pricey but with the R, you feel like it's worth it, inside and out. I looked at a nice color combo of the absurd green with black, so black spoiler, black wheels, black interior. Beautiful. Sure, it's not going to lap like a GT3 or TTS but if you want to have some fun, you can get it sideways in a hurry - quickly. The interior is also great, complete with two functional cup holders. Can fit a golf bag in the trunk no-problem, so it truly looks like a great "weekend" car. M2 CS looks appealing for the same reasons, just on a lesser performing and markedly cheaper scale.

I can't stomach the R8 list price for what it is and how common they seem to be, so I think I'd only look used there (where there are many options). I also considered the F-Type SVR which sounds glorious, but has the reliability of a Jag and an interior that doesn't move me (complete with their awful infotainment system). The NSX is on my list to check out before I make any final decisions. The ADM stuff is sad, because I had my mind made up on a GT3 3 months ago and haven't been able to close any reasonable deals. Happy to pay *some* markup, but getting jerked around for 50k on a 180k list price is just a matter of principle for me.

I would hang in for the GT3 allocation especially as some people start relinquishing their allocations for the 2019 GT3-RS.

I actually liked Shmee's recent video review of the GT-R vs the GT3, thought it was informative on where the GT-R excels and doesn't do so great compared with the GT3 in his opinion. You might want to check it out if you are debating between the two cars on their merits (if it is based on how easy or simple the car is to get, I think the GT-R will win).. M2 CS seems to be a really fun piece of kit to drive worry free.

I really really like the GT-R interior and actually the looks of the car in general (especially in black and silver, not a fan of the green matte paint). The sound is pretty great too for a turbo, I think AMG nailed the sound with their new turbo V8.

That being said definitely go with what you want/your gut is telling you. If you can't find that elusive GT3 allocation and want the GT3, there are and will likely be more delivery mile examples coming up for sale if you are willing to explore that route

It's funny, the whole GT3-RS buying process. I was negotiating with a dealership on price and he asked for a certain price I accepted that then he calls back and states he will get back to me next week because the GM is out of town. Then, even though the GM is still out of town, he tells me if I bump up my offer by 20K above what he initially asked for it would seal the deal. What a game!
