Whoopsy while I can see most big money collectors who pull their money from paper roll dispensers not caring about value retention the average guy, like me, who saves up to buy a $250K car does care. Believe me.
While I didn't buy my RS as an investment and I bought it as a lust object it won out for my money over some others like a Mac for example based on the fact RSs tend to hold their value well.
If money availability was like pulling toilet paper off the roll I wouldn't care either.

? I also don't think 9K engines belong on road cars. Besides, don't think there's any performance benefit of wringing it that high. Make them 8,500 max for reliability's sake. And rather than more and more power, Porsche should focus on lighter weight and keep NA. At the current price point of the RS, only a little more should allow a carbon tub, and stay competitive with 'only' 500 HP.

"Something very special" in my mind means another sport classic or speedster. Time for the special editions to send off the 991 platform. Maybe those that didnt get an R in the ROW will get a shot at one. I have no cleaning lady. Pure speculation on my part.

Was again told by dealer(s) that Gt2(RS) is next at Geneva and no GT3 intro there.

For clarification.
I would suspect the "specials" come after Geneva as they should be trickled out as we approach the close of the 991. Logical.
But was Chris confirming that the GT2 is coming instead of the GT3 in Geneva? That would be news. He confirmed delay of press release to dealers etc. Could they scrap it for Geneva and bring the Panny shooting/wagon and GT2(RS)?
My money is still on what Trackar said, but rosenbergendo also has a pretty good track record. Time will tell.
