I bought more than that and they told me only way to guarantee is buy a 918...
I'm still looking for change under my kids mattress

Didn't work with Chrome. I just used Safari on a Mac.

2015 3d config isn't as good as the 3014 one... Doesn't show sport chrono for example, as well as a few other details like leather vents and a few others I don't recall. Not sure how a program could get worse, but it did. Very clunky

I agree. The 3014 configurator is going to be incredible! I can't wait!! I wasn't aware Porsche already had a preview. They are on the ball. ;-)

The fact that you and your buddy refuse to believe what is posted right on the Porsche website is laughable.

Stop wasting my time if you can not produce a document that says Porsche dealers in the US are not free to set their own prices or you can give me the name of ONE dealer who lost his franchise for charging over MSRP.
Sully, I hate to throw gas on the fire, but it's good to see you now acknowdging that there can be market pricing. A couple weeks ago you thought it was nonsense:

Brusno, I see these as two separate topics, but ok...

What I personally believe is that its a nationwide market, with $1-2k coast to coast shipping, and plenty of these cars at MSRP. I am not sure how that is at odds with believing that Porsche has a policy to not charge customers over MSRP for their cars. I never said that there were no dealers trying to do it...
