Take away RWS, drive select wheel, PDK, and bit of weight, tune the car to lower performance and thus increase 'playfulness', produce in limited number, and you can add $100k to the price tag over GT3T. Clever.

Does that mean one drive mode only or is it configurable through the nav screen?

Only Porsche can remove features/hardware and charge more for a lesser car.

Don’t forget the gold badge they added. “Only” 1963 of these are being pumped out.

Yup, my Touring is just a big expensive paper weight now. I'll pay someone to take it off my hands ASAP.

That's the Porsche motto, get less and pay more.

That's what makes it worth $100k+ more than a Touring.

Do you guys all get together before your post to make sure you are saying the same thing, but using different words?

And yes, all buyers of the S/T are not astute enough to realize they are paying $100K more than a touring, but getting less than the touring.

Hey, let us bitch about it, if we want to! Many feel this way about this car.

Maybe no-options base Carrera with manual is the best value. Put low grip tires on it and it will be playful enough.

Poor man's ST:

Don't mind them, it's actually healthy as venting is part of acceptance ... and unless they post a pic of being offered one at msrp and declining it because of their reasons none of this really matters.

Wait till the ADMs start coming out ... I'm genuinely worried about trojan.

I won't be getting an ST at MSRP because I'm not a top 1/2 customer at my dealership and if I really wanted one I'd stroke a big check but I'm happy with what I have in my garage for now and need to keep cash ready to help my contingent buyers purchase their move-up homes. Clients first, toys later...because of them is why I have fun cars in my garage!

I can't wait until I see stealer ADMs, I'll be having some fun with my posts bashing them.

FYI - Esses Racing is doing a private track day at COTA on 11/16 and Edge Addicts has an event on that following Sat/Sun.
