The GT2RS doesn't have to be much more $$ if no LE.

Partsbin? Could be a GT3RS with active are adapted from TTS with TTS motor.

GT3RS $175K++
TTS $188K++
GT2RS should cost no more then $200-$225K

If not, what are your specs and delivery location? I am sure someone (perhaps me) will give you your deposit back.

I took it off Lodi's hands...though he did have to pay me some $'s for the favor I did him by taking that RS piece of crud.

GT2RS will have a base price north of $250k and a decently optioned one will be around $300k.

The GT2 RS feels like a track-day refugee, and with our tester’s bronze-colored wheels, fixed rear wing, and gaudy red-and-black Alcantara-lined interior, it looks like one, too. Factor in the $245,950 starting price (our example’s black paint pushed the as-tested figure to $249,090), and this is a very focused—albeit special—machine of limited use.

Sure. Your in. All those stuck with these inferior models are welcome.

Shouldn't be more than $225k. But, will cost more.
No # 000 limited edition gt2rs. Same game as gt3/RS. Want early you need to know someone.

If you go to Goodwood? Maybe you can order 2? Get a group buy discount? ðŸ‘

because if it would be true RS is the last
either .2 GT3 would be (and then guess production hyper extended ..)

and for the most, 2 carbon bumpers with a mag roof is not so special

not to mention the two engine comparison...

but you have the light RS badge on the back indeed...

not enough to spend over 160k

Spread is not $160k.

RS always command more $ even over faster or "better" GT3.
Engine difference not enough, in fact no where near enough difference. Most performance cars today are hydraulic valve trains. Even last Mezger was hydraulic. Power outputs are near identical on the 4.0s. New motor revs 400 rpm higer. Imho..Yawn.
It's not just the special components many of which you left out not least of all the entire body of the RS with its significantly wider front and rear tract and still greater aero but it comes down still to those two little letters. Just does.

Going to Goodwood.
Assuming it's $200-even $250 I'll lock them in right there.

TRAKCAR Forrest green metallic / White Gold accents.
997RS 4.0 what color?

Who else wants one?

No right or wrong on this for sure. The 991.2 GT3 is a good fit between the stealth 911R and the extroverted 991.1 GT3 RS.

Count me in at that level, but I'm out if $300k. Forrest green would be nice, like that 997 RS 4.0. I'd get Meerblau. Wonder if they'll go back to a factory graphics package for them...
