For $300k+, I'd 100% choose an exotic over any Porsche.

It's evidently worth it to others, but not me.

Why waste your time telling me not to waste my time?

At MSRP the car is worth the price of admission, but when you get to $100k+ over MSRP I much rather buy a Pista or Speciale.

Trying to be helpful here, but it seems to me Porsche is not your bag. You need to find a make that ticks all your boxes for Porsche will not change their cars to suit a few random people, and the market will forever be the market - irrational as it may seem to some.
Please take this in the positive vein it is meant.

"I don't think the car is worth a big ADM" doesn't mean I don't like Porsches. I currently have 8 Porsches, and didn't pay ADM for any of them. I like other cars too. No car is the 'be all, end all' of cars for me. Sorry if I'm not on board with boosting Porsche hype which results in lots of people paying more for the cars than they had to.

Ferrari for cars&coffee/Instagram car, yes. But for track+everything else and a table for when we get locked down and social distancing again this coming winter.. RS wins.

I don't disagree as I'm planning on my GT4RS being my primary track car with the coffee table wing but I'm sure a Pista could be fun on track too.

The Pista is uber fun on track. Just need to upgrade the brakes.

Pads, brake lines, and fluid or do you have to also upgrade the rotors too?
