British price with VAT converts today to $294,500 (once you add tax in US, the price is well higher here, unless you live in a state without sales tax).

Thanks for the clarification. You have a car for every occasion, including one that comes with free parking* The ST will fit my rotation just fine, but that means parting with my GT3T, provided Mr. Dealer isn't asking for Seinfeld money. Given your collection, it would be interesting to learn what car you'd keep if you sold all but one.
* Surprising omission from Porsche marketing when they had trouble selling the early 918s.

It's funny you say that, but I know of quite a few people (first hand and indirectly) that say the GT4RS is the first car they would get rid of in their stable. It is really not all that.

You are firmly in the subjective minority with that opinion. Which is totally fine as...different strokes for different folks. As long as you understand that many people, consider the gt4rs borderline unusable and therefore unenjoyable.

I own several cars and have owned every modern GT car since 997. The 4RS won't ever leave my garage. It's that good (Bad) in a way. Interior is dated, it's loud, unstable, but sure is fun as hell to drive! I love old muscle cars and hot rods and it's sorta fitting that Porsche ended the era with this car. I'm a junkie for all things Porsche.

Interesting. I have a friend (the only person I know personally) that is a VIP and he still says it is the 911R that he would keep.

Same here, and he’s own’d every 911 built and the R he swears by and if he could have only one that’s the car he would keep. He only tracks Porsche race cars, and everything else is a road car for him.

But sure is fun around a corner, but not as fun as a 3RS or even simply a GT3 for that matter.
Just a guess.

I do too. All that I spoke with have said the same things. The suspension is too stiff, it’s a terrible daily and the car feels like a parts bin car.
