Really only in stunt factor. While they do some unique things, it's more of a brand than a watchmaker still. IMHO Vacheron still above. It's a heritage thing as well with the big 3, even if VC isn't as interesting as of late.

I still love the brand, and my local salesperson in Charlotte is a great guy. I'm not disappointed that I (likely) won't get the car, but am disappointed that was led to believe I was number one on the dealer's list, only to find out that was "not accurate." There are too many games getting played above the heads of even the experienced dealer sales staff, which is a shame.

So instead, I bought this. My 3rd new Ferrari and will hopefully get a Pista allocation soon. When I drive this I don't really think much about what other cars I do or don't have.

Grigio Silverstone, a guess because it looks a bit too dark in that bright light

Love Porsche for the track ability and durability but if I wouldn’t track so much, it wouldn’t be on my radar.

Between Mustang GT350 and AMG GTR (Black series) there might be a few alternatives.

at GT2RS money the choices are endless.

agreed completely...the new black series should be an amazing car. I do think the GTR is the best car for the money, and was very very quick at cota.

What gets me about the 2RS, is at that price I want bespoke interior, or at least no button blanks....but the interior parts carry over from the base cayman is too much for me.

Nothing.

i speculate not much more real power but lightness and brake cooling added.

the GTR seems almost here with ceramic brakes.
available below MSRP already my dealer has a deposit for black series.

so, you don't want to pay ADM for a Porsche.. but you'll pay the market rate on a 458 Speciale Aperta which is in the $650k ballpark? something doesn't compute.
