Lots of great points in this thread in regards to the Magnesium wheels. From what we've seen is GT2RS' with the OEM Magnesium Wheels are more sought after than ones without. How that will affect asking price of these cars 3, 4, 5 years down the line remains to be seen but I reckon the highest optioned versions will end up being the most desired.
^^^agree. But additionally, down the road, cars don't trade at +/- MSRP. they just trade at a price. Nobody quotes a 5/10/20yr old Porsche in +/- msrp. Market will list a higher optioned car for more money sometimes but whether those options trade at a premium to their original cost, nobody knows...

Amen Brother, got the car in March. I payed 25K over but got an extra set of wheels, Xpel Clear Bra full front up with partial roof, Roll Cage and harnesses. At the end of the day it's all about what you can live with. Sure it would of been nice to wait till now to pay MSRP but I think the 10,000 plus miles of driving it were worth it to me.

GT2 RS - never go to a track?! I think you're not getting your money's worth on that car.

Why don't the above take them to a track - you'll have a lot more fun and at the same time learn something. No point speeding excessively on public roads - 
. You've got a great car far better to learn and experience the cars ability and recognise ones own limitations.

I guess my point was: you have a car that is explicitly developed at - and for - the track. It seems like you're missing out on a large chunk of what you paid for if it never sees a track.
I'm not advocating you blow your $$ on tires and brakes or go 10/10 at a track and risk balling up the car. But doing one track day just to see what the car is really capable of? It'd at least confirm what you know the car can do
I can do triple digits in any number of cars, but I can't defy physics the way a modern Porsche GT can. It's a whole part of what makes those cars what they are
P.S. Love the car, and I can't blame you for not taking it to the track if you're set on that (I'd probably only do it once or twice in a car costing that much)

I went to the Silverstone experience centre last week and was due to do my GT3 driving day after purchase. Unfortunately the GT3 was out of action so was told to re-schedule or drive the GT2 RS.
Of course I snapped up the GT2......What a car!!! absolutely incredible, I was physically aching for 2 days after, like I'd done a day of astronaut training.
Whoever owns one of these, you're really lucky. I'd be in it all day long.

These are great points and every owner has a different view. I will have a handful of track events per year but doing a couple things to make sure it doesn't end up costing too much, e.g. brakes changed over to surface transforms, roll cage, morefrequent oil & pdk oil changes, track insurance.
That said, I'm not an advocate for high speed driving on public roads, especially in these track focused cars as they are less forgiving than say a tts, Ferrari gt series, McLaren 720s, etc. The suspension is stiff, tons of power, and the public roads are terrible and can unsettle the car extremely easy on corners and cause an accident. Save the speed, hard cornering for the track.
