Wish it came in a manual though!


This thread is kind of funny now because the 992 GT3 crew who paid ADM are now calling themselves regular joes

I think these three models sound really interesting, and Porsche being the most profitable car company may build more than you think. Didn't they build almost 2K of the 50th edition? True, there will never be more than an 'internet-hyped' launch will demand. I feel sometimes that Porsche is becoming more Ferrari like in pandering to their best customers, and arguably as with any business, it should be the biggest enthusiasts who get the best cars first, and without these ridiculous ADMs.

Best customers = Biggest enthusiasts

Pay to play world.. always has been.. only difference is now with the internet everyone knows everyone else's business. But just with an desirable or scarce asset, only a few have access.

Ducktail for 50th seems more appropriate...

correct. I sent a dm to a "well known podcaster/ authority" chastising him of his incorrectness esp on the sport classic. that info was shared on a dealer call 6+ months ago and has not leaked accurately yet.
