it will be 9xx cars and US is gonna get way over 120

I think the VIP program is just fine.

Envy of those that have more toys is unbecoming.

This seems to be not working! I just wanted to add that I fully agree with >3mph. There is no easy solution (or solution at all) to the conundrum created by the VIP program, which IIRC lasts for 10 years!!

I don't blame the non-mortals. I blame Porsche for being the idiots that created the VIP program. If they thought their 918 car was so great, why did they feel so compelled to off the VIP program to sell those 918? A little whiff of desperation maybe??? It's going to come back to bite them in the *** in the intermediate and long term.

918 and GT3RS owners will be mailed carbon fiber swords and given an address of their adversary.

If you want a 911R you better slay your competition.

If this is not idiot is at least masochistic for PAG
and i would add the ones going to pay over MSRP are legitimating this dodgy practice

Time will tell. 918 owners have been conveyed your info - PCNA has conveyed to dealers 120.

You both could be right - it might be 120 + the VIP allocations (297 isn't it?) So 417 out of say 911 for the US is about 45% which seems to make sense given where the market is.

Only time will tell, but I would be very surprised if they didn't at least bring some in for non-918 customers.

In a market where demand is higher than supply there are no rules about behaviour.

I just think PAG is getting out of touch with current customer base.

Or maybe the stealers can see how much the 918 owners are willing to pay over MSRP for the cars.
