I have a US allocation and I'm not a VIP or anyone special. And my build has to be at the end of production - Nov '18. I don't think my dealer will get an allocation with a build date later than that. The VIP allocation ahead of mine has a spring '18 build.

The only reason I'm buying one is to take it on trips to faraway tracks and thrash it!
I don't particularly like how it looks, and it wouldn't be in my garage on that basis.
I'm also unconvinced about long terms values as market is getting saturated.

Have already booked first 2 track days with friends at Spa in early May, (which is a 1200 mile round trip).
This is a full stop for me though, not going to keep chasing the next version, just use what I have.

Similar argument for them to point customers to 'good dealers'.

The argument for kickback doesn't make sense at all as the ADM problem is basically an American problem with you law. It's not happening in Canada nor anywhere else that I know of. Something is wrong with your law and you guys should write to your congressman and have them change the law.
Dear Mr. Congress person,

I am asking for your help. We need to enact the same laws of rent control used in housing applied to the Porsche dealer model. I am tired of having to pay market prices for Porsche GT models and could use some help forcing dealers to sell me something at a prescribed price.

Sincerely,

Ipse sorry i agree with you but paraphrased incorrectly.

I think that the GT2RS will be incredible and regardless of price i will track mine if my store gets a 3rd slot-
Right now we have two- one for the VIP and one for the winner of the lottery/ points system I instituted in March.

In regards to cost vs track- for Mooty and others...guys like Footsoldier and me are dumb enough to rip our P1's and 918's on the track...350k GT2RS? Bring it on. I have tracked almost all of my mclarens (exception being 650LeMans) and they're expensive.

I will track my P15 Senna and my Ford GT.

I would really liked to know the full story on the distilled water.

e.g. I'm going to Spa for 2 days and it might be hot.
Do I need to stock up on this stuff? Annoying if so.

some say that if you use sparkling water instead distilled water you can get 50hp more...

Ah, so it's in the weather-exposed area underhood. That makes sense. Thanks for posting. It'll be interesting to hear the specs attributed.

Engineer hat on: average tap water is 150-400 parts per million total dissolved solids. If you boil a pot of water too long on a stove you’ll see those solids as the white stuff that’s left behind when the pot is dry. With time they build up to form a hard scale which is both unsightly and cuts heat transfer. Boil you pot dry 100 times and with very hard water and in theory you could have 4% less pot volume left due to a nice, thick, rock hard coating on the bottom.

Your intercooler is functioning to evaporate water very much like that pot, so using hard tap water will cause it to scale up over time. That would be bad, because unfortunately the chemicals you’d normally use to attack and remove the scale will also attack the aluminum, so once it’s on it’s likely to stay. Of course it will happen slowly: 400 ppm is a pretty small number, so while you might visually be able to see some white stuff on the intercooler after running a couple tanks through it probably won’t hurt anything. If you want to keep it clean, on the other hand, distilled water is one ppm, so 150-400 times less white crap.

Personally while I might use tap or bottled water once or twice if I was in a pinch (ideally “purified” bottled water, never “mineral water”) I’d try to stick with distilled water, as the white stuff would probably bug me. Not to mention a future owner if I ever sold.
