Ok in the US, most of these cars will become garage art and be bubble wrapped (probably only driven/towed to cars & coffee events). Might be different outside the US. Sad but a true inevitable fact. The whole cars becoming art/investments doesn't compute for me. Anyhow, I wanted to get one because I knew they'd be hard to get. And because most all will never see a street, let alone a track, I wanted to be one of the few that could proud show off on how cars like these should be driven.
they are out there , don't despair , many on the 918 group are top guys i assure you

If you fit in it, this is an alternative.
No waiting in line..
Track worthy..
Manual..
Brown alcantara available..
Ceramic brakes, dry sump..
Priced like disposable..
Just don't go to the dealer. Have them bring car and paperwork.

With the cleaning lady on vacation and the facts out, people have the real deal to consider. If they were skeptical before, but "converted" now, is there anything wrong with that?
I'd rather have skepticism rather than salivation over anything that Porsche puts a badge on. A critical group makes for good conversation and idea generation.

I would like the opportunity to buy one too but I know won't. That's why it is a limited edition. And that's why I just go, "c'est la vie", and don't accuse Porsche of BS. It's just not worth getting that angry over it.

They like the car, they want to buy the car, they've worked hard to have the money to buy the car, should Porsche not be willing to add $$ to their balance sheet and sell another car?? 
In my line of work, I don't turn away sales and profits. As capitalists, sometimes these things make no sense to many.
Can you blame the critics sometimes?? You have to see things from both perspectives.

Called my dealer and told him to give it to the next guy on the list. Was hoping it had a ducktail. If I'm spending 180k on a porsche it better have a wing on it.
The want for this is not as strong as a GT3 or GT3 RS.

So because they don't track their expensive super car, they're not an enthusiast USC? How do you know the guy passing you in a spec Miata isn't simply driving his track day car, and his RS is at home?
So motorcyclists are not enthusiasts if they don't track their bikes? Hmmm, poor Charlie Boorman must be sad to hear that....
