not UK nor GER has other taxes on car purchase further than VAT.
i see that P wants to have some 720s customers?
i have in mind that you can order in UK also LHD on special request? somebody could order 2 at their dealer?

I've configured a low spec non W package car in black which would suit me fine , but I'm not going to get too revved up about it until becomes clear if this is basically a VIP only car . Looks like the black leather interior with black stitching as I have on my GT3 RS is about 7K - that's about my only option other than the fuel tank .

If 500 or less = Porsche marketing hype.
Worst offenders ar dealer principles hording these cars.
Recent years of pro forma always end badly. If performance cars become instant collectibles,they will never be proven, thus never truly special. Doesn't have historical value.
Simple marketing creation. Such as in numismatic world the rare circulated coin is more desirable than produced limited boullion.

Brakes. You're trying to stop a car that's heavier than a gt3 rs going a hell of a lot quicker in a straight line. And also rose joints tend to wear out a tad faster. And with a highly boosted turbo engine I'd be doing a lot more fluid changes as well.

If I can get one yes. The question is, can I afford to keep it?!
It's overpriced but still I don't see a solid alternative and I want it.
I do know that Mr Purple isn't going anywhere until the next NA is known. I love that thing too much; 19000 miles, many at Sebring and all I've done is add rotors pads and fuel.
I was talking to AP about my setup and he seems to agree I was on the right path. I commented that the track setup should have been in the manual so it wouldn't have taken 15 sets of tires and 19,000 miles to figure it out on my own.
"Ahh you're one of those customers" was his comment LOL.

Track insurance on a $300K car is also going to be very expensive.
If the car is tracked heavily, also expect significant depreciation.

Going to post some vids once I upload them. I spoke to AP and the silver car at the Michelin stand is his actual car and spec.
Not limited was confirmed by him.
Seeing the Guards Red GT3 next to it really
made me think how mean the car would look with all the CF on the red.
Something for the guys who couldn't be there. Sorry I am not too good with taking pics or videos.
AP interview to follow.

To maximize profits and to take full advantage of the kool-aid it is selling, Porsche should MSRP every GT car at $500k then allow for negative market adjustments via best-offer bids by customers to dealers for allocations. If market adjustments are still non-negative (i.e. there are still many bids at MSRP or above), then adjust MSRP higher on the next model. Keep raising the MSRP until all market adjustments turn negative (all allocation bids come in below MSRP). Dealer gets 8% of each transaction -- the rest goes to Porsche. Thoughts?
