GT3RS Allocation Thread

You must be kidding with that statement....that is EXACTLY why they'll pump out as many GT3RSs as they can. They could give a rats azz what the market value of your GT3RS or any other one is, they are about maximizing profits and revenues. They aren't stupid, they know demand is there so they'll keep building to their capacity.
Chris Harris has always been and will always be an over-rated TV personality that through a temper tantrum over not getting an allocation and made his melt down public all because he felt entitled. I can't take someone that claims to have the Pulse of the market and yet acts that way seriously.

Bro its obvious.
Porsche is redefining themselves. It's chasing bigger fish with less bait..... just more effective at catching. It's literally sales 101. Bring to market you believe in as being highly desirable, release in low quantities to keep the lure amd desire high, then gradually increase price year to year. The buyers will still need there.
Real-estate people arent actual sales people so I can see how there would be confusion.
People get too damn caught up in "limited" it's dumb as hell unless it's truly a remarkable car that shouldn't be driven as that's what you do with actually rare cars.... you don't drive them.
Do simple math. 200 dealers. Let's assume 3-5 allocations per year and that's being generous. That's only 600-1000 units for MY24. MY23 we saw hardly any US units and lots were pushed into 24. Compared to the regular GT3 the RS will be significantly lower #s. So let's use your example of the Touring. The market for that car is still 70k+ over on units with 4 digit mile on them with bland specs. So using your own logic the 3RS will still remain high priced and more desirable it the big scheme of things as it has a much larger following and target audience.
More people want the 992 3RS for 1 very good reason, it actually looks bad *** Compared to the prior gens.

WRONG, Porsche is building capacity to build more and more cars. They are a publicly traded company now so it's all about revenues and profits. If you don't think they'll build more 992.1 GT3RSs than they built 991.2 GT3RSs you are just kidding yourself. And guess what, they'll build more 992.2 GT3RSs than 992.1 GT3RSs and everyone who got a 992.1 GT3RSs or wanted one will want the 992.2 GT3RSs. Porsche seeing the demand and know that they'll sell every single GT car that they can build. Their goal is to sell more units at higher prices, not limit quantity for regular GT cars (aka non-numbered cars).

All the newbies know is what's been happening in the past few years that GT car prices only go up and are the new investment asset class.

He's ordered a few cars and all of a sudden, he's got Porsche business model, supply chain and GT cars all figured out.

You can keep telling yourself they're going to keep exceeding production, sadly it just isn't the case.
Call me wrong, I truly don't care. I just don't want you getting disappointed when you see those MSRPs climb and supply shrink.
