Lets first wait for 6 months after the first deliveries of the 991.2 before we all start celebrating. I went thru the 2014 fiasco so I am always skeptical. Looks great on paper but we need to wait and see
Well and simply put.

OP: NO.

I will sell you a car at $200k just so you can have this wonderful opportunity of having a future $300k car, how's that

seriously, does anyone here who is supporting high mark-ups somebody who is not a flipper or paid these markups in the past? I don't know anybody who paid more than MSRP, do we need a poll or something?

Things usually go boom between intervals when it happens or after you exceed intervals. Racing = high stress and chit happens.

A New GT4RS with 4.0 would be epic but what state of tune? I say 415 hp. They can't let it get too close to GT3. Will it also be yet another gift to the 918 "privileged" leaving everyone else outside looking in? Will also be the inevitable markups for those units made available.

It never ends.

Waxer, you need to eventually get yourself into the VIP status. You never know, Porsche may build that special car again and you get your chance.
