This is what I am waiting for. I want a Manual, NA, nice looking Wing. So far the 911R just looks like another 911- I guess we will see in a couple more days

Porsche would do well not to alienate their traditional base, IMO.
Yup, especially the younger buyers who's incomes are increasing. Just saying...

I don't suppose you know if the blip shift can be deactivated? That's like asking someone to help excite your girlfriend...

my suggestion, 1st in line, people who are known fans of the company, loyalists, no brokers or flippers, after 2 years finish production for anyone who wants one as long as they agree not to sell for 6 mos

I read that they will keep 911 R in future lineup as well so maybe we won't get to buy this round but for sure you can buy in future rounds

carbon wheels-cool heres my formula every Porsche you currently own 3 points, every Porsche you owned in the past 2 pts you ever do a ED or visit Zuffenhausen 10 pts, you on a Porsche forum 1 pt You ever flip a car -10 pts each, own a Corvette? - 3 pts (just kidding) anyone with 5 or more points gets on the list, the first 500 allocations go based on amt of points, the next ones go by order received, sell cars for the people who are willing to sign a 1 year no flip, but ok to trade to dealer contract, next contracts first come first serve
