You'll have 90 or so VIP's left in the dust, and I assure you all will raise their hands for this free / guaranteed allocation (unlike what happened with the GT4 initially, where only ~80% raised their hand).
This will be a problem because the VIP program assured folks that you'll get an allocation for any limited edition model. Period. No exceptions. I have the paperwork that states this.

OK everybody, please stop with this nonsense. there isn't going to be a mess. there is a provision for that in the VIP program:
In the event that the number of Porsche 918 VIP customers wishing to order such a limited-edition model exceeds the total number of such cars allocated to the United States, production numbers will be allocated to Porsche 918 VIP customers in sequential order of the time the customer placed their order for the 918 Spyder.
it all comes down to when you bought your 918: if you were the first guy with a deposit or the last guy in-line.
In the event that the number of Porsche 918 VIP customers wishing to order such a limited-edition model exceeds the total number of such cars allocated to the United States, production numbers will be allocated to Porsche 918 VIP customers in sequential order of the time the customer placed their order for the 918 Spyder.

We'll still have 918 VIP's who complain, and get upset.
Anyway, it'll be interesting.

That's true, people that are spending that kind of money are used to getting what they want (take my avatar and multiple by 10x) because they have the means of paying for whatever they want. I'm sure PCNA will get some blow back from the VIPs that were left out in the cold despite the small print disclaimer above.

Heck yeh!! - there will be some upset people - but - those that can afford it will pay the premium and buy it from one of the other 918 guys flipping the car although I think this car will certainly be a "collector".

I seriously don't think Stuttgart would be that stupid, to **** off the VIP owners would be extremely dumb. Just send 300 R to the US. Price is irrelevant! Make it even. Let's say $300k.

Maybe its me, but it's a bit annoying for me to think I have no chance at a limited edition car that wont be insane money because all the people who do have insane money get to eat them up.
So I'm too poor to buy a Porsche because I'm more poor than the rich people who bought a Porsche
Teir 2 Poor Status.... great

I hope/suspect this will mean more 911R.
