Reason I’m not buying one is because these “special editions” are a complete cash grab for dealers, facilitated by Porsche. Most will go to flippers. Porsche artificially limits production to enable dealers to allocate to their best customers, and most flip them for massive profits.
Although this time Porsche got even more greedy, the MSRP is a joke! This will limit dealers’ ability to mark it up.
I find it laughable.

I will go for a manual Spyder some day soon but the wife have me sleeping in it.

That's why the GT4RS had a much bigger want factor than the GT3/Touring and the GT3RS. I was keeping up with 991 GT3/RSs in my GT4s on track so now I should be able to do more than that with the GT4RS with both 991 and 992 GT3/RSs.

Just ironic hearing people's experiences with the 4RS. AP was clearly positioning it as the best mid-engined road car for canyons/back roads...clearly not a fan favorite but wild they built it!

The blip aka rev match will be a selectable function from the touchscreen. It was a physical button on the 911R in the console but not anymore.
Watching this being unveiled and watched every single video on YouTube.
Couple of interesting things about this in standard specs - a) throttle blip button (like GT4/GT3) is not seen in videos / pics etc but spec says it is there (see attached). b) comes with power steering plus.. hmm. I hate it whenever I drive it (drove in 992 GTS and 991.1 S) and it comes standard..perhaps goes well with extra light clutch and single mass fly wheel set up driving experience??

Manufacturers make them bigger and bigger as people become fatter and fatter.

Also, are you here just to bash the ST and current model 911s? I'm not sure what you're adding to the ST convo. All I hear is how much you love your 996 and Boxsters and how much you'd prefer something other than the ST.

Have you lived with a 992? I heard this before before I bought one. While the proportions may be indeed slightly larger, it's a fantasy to call it a grand tourer. It's very much a 911 and I've owned mostly aircooled cars. You know what is amazing? That despite all the manufacturing regs and reqs, a 992 weighs the same as a 993 30 years later.
