gt2rs last time was not priced in line with the other cars either, msrp on base 997.2 gt2rs was around $250k and 997.2 gt3 base was what, msrp $115k? RS was 140k? I don't remember all of the 7.2 msrp, but the 2rs has always been out there

Thank you sir. I appreciate your shared insight,
I just need to hurry up and wait!

The 2RS is 1.55 bar max and the Turbo S Exclusion Series is 1.32 at 9.0:1 and 9.8:1 compression ratios.

Thanks Whoopsy. At least they are telling you something. Porsche's playing hard to get is getting old. Like dating the prettiest girl in town, too much work.

Thanks Loess💪
997 GT2 and GT2RS have the same compression ratio 9.0:1

I have my UK and German contacts working for me. I know my chances getting one in the US is very slime. But question. Why do some of you guys sell them so fast? Just for profit? Seems like to me people love the new GT 911 cars for the moment. Live in the moment. Then quickly move on. I hope this turns out how I feel it will. I hope it is as special as I believe it is.

Don't sell mine until the new arrives, which usually means 3-4 years. But I'm not a flipper so I guess that makes me unusual these days....

It was actually the girl's dad tell you what she want when in fact she hasn't even decided yet.

I'm not sure if you calculated these speeds or found them elsewhere, but they do not look accurate. The listed 5th gear ratio is off, and the calculated speed in 7th is significantly higher than you've called out:

Ratio MPH kph
1 3.91 39 62
2 2.29 66 106
3 1.58 95 153
4 1.18 128 206
5 0.94 160 258
6 0.79 191 307
7 0.67 225 362

Note that modern radials do not grow anything like 1.5% in diameter due to centrifugal forces.

Interestingly Flacht generally tries to gear vmax in top to be at the engine's power peak. The listed 7000 RPM HP peak would equate to 219 mph with this gearing, it's only turning 6750 rpm at 211 mph. It's unlike them to leave that performance on the table, so either the power peak is wide and flat or perhaps the car can go considerably faster (pull downforce off the car carefully and I'd bet you could gear it out).

Someone should fork over the $3500 for "deviated" stitching in black. The deviated stitching thing has been played out IMHO. Of course, I am a mere mortal and there is no way PCNA lets me buy one, but if I did I would tick that box and skip the red interior.

Speaking of Germany here is what you can find on mobile.de right now somebody is offering 991 GT2RS with delivery on March 2018 for EUR 610.000,00 (you can pick up your color scheme and other option as well). There is also another for EUR 580.000,00 with delivery on January 2018

Those prices mean huge markups....

AsianBond

you are right, thanks for the insight.

i also dont understand why everyone is getting so excited on a model that has look the same for several years now, too bad porsche did not make it look more different

GT288

LOL! If that's what it's going to take. I'm going 675LT. But we'll see.

Nizer

Meh, it's been tracked - no interest.

GT288

Exactly! But do they not realize this isn't a numbered car? Who's going to pay that kind of money when you really don't have to wait at least the next generation. No thanks!! One of my brokers in UK told me he has a great connection with a Porsche contact. Maybe we will see what happens. But if I can get it starting at MSRP what is the point? I love the car. But paying those prices makes you think about that idea again. "You're paying for a GT3 RS with a Turbo S Engine. "
