they don't like dealers selling out of their region to the highest bidder
but on the other hand they feed the frenzy by spreading ambiguity which increases the ADM game .One dealer tells you there is MY2025 another one says no
then they send me a promo email about the new ST and prior the SC with a link to build the car and submit build to your local dealer which is stupid to say the least as they know that the dealer will laugh at you for submitting the build
and as I said before , customers can tolerate stuff for so long

Don't be silly.

PAG loves that their cars are commanding premiums above MSRP. Which marque wouldn't?

As someone who is in the target market for GT cars, I have ZERO interest in buying any non-GT 911 including a Turbo S and I'm sure I'm not in the minority.

Very well said. The whole marketing thing for the SC and ST is comical because 99% of us have no chance at getting either car unless we are willing to bend over and pay a big ADM to a greedy stealer. I didn't want to waste my breathe asking about the ST because I knew I had ZERO chance of getting one even if I traded my Touring in.

Those rumors are due to dealers giving their predictions/opinions but passing it off as fact. Chances are that Porsche corporate hasn't told them explicitly on whether there will be/will not be MY2025 GT3 RS.

Now with that said, I think CJ's prediction of no MY2025 GT3 RS is much more likely due to past precedent. I couldn't find any past history of Porsche having a single Model Year contain models from two generations. Second, it looks very likely that MY2025 will be the 992.2 generation based on the car spyshots looking very close to final. It would be surprising if those car spyshots were meant for a MY2026 car.

Late production of 991.2 Gt3 RS? How long did we see 992 Rs on the ring, 2 year before launch?

I too am in the market for a GT car (GT3/GT3RS) and that's despite already having a 992 series TTS. They offer very different experiences which have been discussed till nauseum on these forums.

thanks - then timing seems about right for this airbag recall to be the same as "your" airbag recall

Porsche is recalling over 2,900 vehicles from the last several model years for potentially unnecessary airbag deployment. Below are the possibly affected models and what owners of these Porsche cars should do if their vehicle is included in this airbag recall.

911 GT3 mit Touring-Paket (VIN: WP0AC2A99PSXXXXX)
Last updated Nov 15,2023
Recalls

Re-code Airbag control unit | APB3 | Nov 08,2023

Description
Existing air bag deployment logic maximizes seat-mounted air bag deployment, including in types of crashes in which such deployment is not warranted or required by applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards.

Safety Risk
In the subject vehicles equipped with optional Full Bucket Seats, deploying seat-mounted air bag has the potential to cause ancillary injuries in types of crashes in which such deployment is not warranted and also not required by applicable FMVSS.

Remedy
Porsche will reprogram the ACU to implement a new seat-mounted air bag deployment logic in the subject vehicles to reduce deployment in types of crashes in which such deployment is not warranted and not required by applicable FMVSS
