My 2014 is available if you are interested..

You can find a low mileage GT3. I did about 3 weeks ago. I looked for about a month to find the right car just over 1000 miles and the car had all right options.
I did find a few 16"s put the dealers have a 30 k premium on the car. I found a 15 for sticker and had clear bar already on the entire car. Be patience and you will find the right car.

Enjoy you want regret the wait.

Any takers ?

People forget the S in msrp stands for suggested. The market will dictate the sell price. I might be friends with the owner but trust me I wouldn't defend him based on our friendship if I agreed with you. Got to take a closer look before jumping to conclusions. What dealer or civilian would sell their RS to southlake for sticker when we all know they can get way more...... I don't like the price nor would I ever pay over sticker, but this is a business and they are simply taking a huge risk buying at a very high price themselves in order to hopefully make a few well deserved points. My $.02
This is a big Porsche dealer on north east !

I passed an offer from a Texas dealer on an open allocation for a GT3 RS for 75k over msrp on Friday. I called them today after changing my mind, but they sold the allocation
