But you and I certainly agree that there is some cohort out there that doesn't care about $ at all, and the elasticity of pricing for those people just doesn't matter, period. Agree with that. I just don't think there are many, and I think pricing gets hyped by dealers but actual transaction amount is different in many cases.

Funny this happened to me today as well. I live in DFW and my dealer called me today with a Dec build / Jan delivery - needless to say they have my deposit and I configured my new Dark Blue metallic GT3 today. This will be my first GT3 so I'm beyond excited. I currently have a 991 Carrera S which I bought in May, awesome car but a bit of an impulse purchase considering my previous Porsches were a 996 Turbo and a 997 Turbo. I just couldn't bring myself to drop $180k on a 991 T yet. I was on the fence between that and the GT3 anyway but wanted a toy so I bought the Carrera S. So as it will turn out by the time I pay the "I'm an idiot penalty" on trading in a '14 S with 2k miles on a '15 GT3 built to my specs I could have bought a turbo. Lol. Funny thing is I couldn't be happier. GT3 ownership ahead...

Maybe a few, but not many. There is no "blah, blah". It's simple. If 200 dealers in the US are charging MSRP for this car plus $1k shipping to the door, there are only a few people (regardless of how wealthy they are) that would grab $20k in cash and hand it over above MSRP for a car that is not even sitting on the lot.

: "i will never buy a 991 GT3 (unless my wife wants it)!" I definitely have egg on my face.

I couldn't be happier that more people are coming around and will get a chance to experience this car and add to our little community. In this case, falling dominoes are a very positive development!
