Well said and agreed.

Its interesting that Porsche as a recently publicly traded company is largely okay with middleman dealerships charging ADM in lieu of taking further profit for share holders / said company.

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.
You don't get it, they don't have enough capacity to sell to everyone that wants a car because the demand is significantly higher than the supply. So Porsche can easily increase the supply of GT cars without diluting the market. Think of the "demand -1" model that has been talked about on here for years. Of course Porsche is going to keep increasing MSRPs across the board so not a really big shocker for me. I don't care what my cars are worth as I buy them to drive them and not to store them to collect dust hoping they go up in value.

Again..... ok. If you say so. If Posche wants to build more they easily can.

Not really, it costs a lot of money to build production facilities. And Porsche isn't increasing supply now because they don't want to have a glut of cars out there when this pandemic-induced bubble bursts and demand drops, since that would cut into future sales. Porsche is playing the long game because that's the smart way to play the game.

I agree with you, but according to USC he feels Porsche will keep building more and more and unfortunately that's not the case for exact reason you stated.

I believe Porsche is increasing capacity somewhat, but not enough to meet demand for the next year or so. We'll see how it goes, the pandemic and aftermath results in somewhat uncharted waters for the economy and car industry.

Yes, they are increasing capacity but not enough to create a gutt of cars especially GT cars.

this is also likely being accomplished by offloading Cayman production to Osnabrück, thereby opening up more 911 capacity at Zuffenhausen

That's exactly what I was thinking of where the additional 911 capacity would come from.

I think this is being taken out of context in terms of 'volume', yes they will build more 992.1 GT3 RS's than they have in the past. Look at the rate that they have increased production on these cars since the 996 generation. Will it be hundreds of thousands like the F-150 is made in quantities of - no... But you can sure bet that they are not producing less than the 991 generation of RS's. Nothing accurate is out there on 992 GT3 numbers yet, but based on what number are for sale of GT3's currently it sure feels as though that they made more of those than previous generation non-RS GT3's.

Lastly, I know how many allocations a regional dealer got of GT3 RS's thus far, cant foresee the number being lower than the 991.2 GT3 RS.

They are going to make more then the last gen. Anyone who says they aren't hasn't been around in the porsche community long enough or is just delusional.

what materials are they short of exactly?
production always starts slowly at the beginning of a model run, then picks up greatly in the middle of the run.

It’s overflow production, not moving the 718s there entirely.

You can’t order PCCBs or buckets on anything consistently except if it’s a special variant or a GT car.
