We already got a taste of this with the non-Limited Edition 991.1 GT3 RS. PCNA is navigating turbulent waters because of their decision to create the 918 Spyder VIP program.

^ i dont understand their logic
if you dont import enough, you will **** off many ppl
if you charge too little, you leave money for flippers.
why not just import 200 and make them $3MM each.
i know i can't afford one and i would happily STFU.
if they continue to do $250k car, there are plenty of ppl who can cut that chk. and they will fight for it, then those who dont get allocated one gets all upset....
to me, its a very very simple problem to resolve.

If they import 297 or less to the US, it will be mayhem. In fact, if they don't import a little bit more than 297, you'll have a strong number of Porsche loyalists really pissed off.

Right now, based on what I'm hearing, and based on the spy shots, the car isn't really tickling me much either. I do get the collectible nature of the car, though, and that's really its biggest appeal to me (whereas a lot of the other collectibles have multiple reasons for appeal).

Haha, indeed. A part of me wants PCNA to learn a lesson, a part of me doesn't, and another part doesn't think this is the right way to each this lesson.

I do get why the car might be collectible since it'll be limited, but I'm not a collector so the car doesn't fit into my wheel house. I'll just enjoy flogging the poor man's version of the 991R on the track...the GT4. It's one thing to have mortals pissed off at PAG/PCNA...can't image what kind of fall out PAG/PCNA will get if the non-mortal VIPs get pissed off.
People will get pissed at PAG, but the real culprit is PCNA (for creating the 918 Spyder VIP program out of desperation when 918 Spyder sales where lagging dramatically in the US -- for quite a while, until things picked up when worldwide availability started to dwindle, and the hype kicked in).

It's not just because it'll be limited, of course, it's because it's likely the last of its kind (Manual N/A 911). I'm still not sure if that's enough draw for me.

Of course the question still remains will the next GT3 be NA. I personally think its more likely than not. RS however will be PDK only moving forward of that Im sure.
