For $175K, I expect 28 different shades of metallic and every hard color ever painted a car in for free. With 6 different Caliper options and PTS accents and Calipers as an extra cost. * interior colors with 24 optional deviated stitching. Or at least as many variations as a Cayenne.
I expect leather as well. And XM. And top view camera's. And whatever the f@cks comes standard on an 125K MB with more HP, more TQ and 7% discount just for having the pleasure of picking it up in Germany... Never mind the 175K stuff out there.

But hey they are Porsche's and we keep insisting on paying MSRP or more for old cars and we keep lapping it up because faster on track and more fun and dependable on track than anything else.
For me, the day these cars don't survive track days, the day the gimmicks like laptimer's don't work, fault codes and limp modes are plentiful at the track is the day it all ends for Porsche's upcharge.

If you don't track the GT3RS get a Turbo or smarter money buys a S Coupe, but that's just me..

If thought the AMG GT would survive track days and be fun, I'd get that...
A nice C63 Coupe for wifey with the savings.

I played on the GT4 configzerator and fully optioned I think I was at $110k. Sounds like heavy bang for the buck....my dealer is sold out of his 8 allocations and still has a list ready and waiting.
