if you mean October- December? Suspect telling you no slots because I would imagine the available dates havnt been released to Porsche USA yet. They just release June slots for my S/T only about 2 weeks ago. Typically that late in the year shouldn’t be an issue, at least Nov-Dec. October is a perfect time as little crowds and plenty of track days. Good luck

Personally I would wait on the 3RS. Experience a few brands. The “one “ will keep calling you. That happened with my 993 when I sold it so I searched for another. And for that price you can enjoy a few vehicles. I am fortunate to also have 4RS and Cali T (that I traded up from a 430)

do not leave it up to SA, dealers are awful at arranging ED. Once have allocation and commission # send email to Porsche ED and do all the legwork yourself. I do ED almost every year, it’s getting more challenging to schedule so contact ED department directly and make all arrangements yourself

I've got the chance to get my hands on a 992 GT3 RS, but here's the catch: my dealer is asking for $160k over MSRP, bringing the total to a hefty $460,000. However, they're throwing in some enticing extras like PPF, satin black wrap, roll cage, and black keys for free.

Originally, I was lined up for an allocation, but now it seems the option on the table is a new car already built with around 70 miles on it. I'm torn between pulling the trigger on this deal or waiting it out in hopes that prices will eventually come down.

Your insights and experiences would be immensely helpful in guiding my decision. Thanks in advance for your input!
Only you can judge what the car is worth TO YOU.

Me personally, there’s no way I’d spend that kind of money on a 3RS. In the $300k+ range, the only car I’d consider is McLaren.

I haven't driven either one, but judging from the cars I own (992 GT3, McLaren 570, 991.2 3RS, 992 TTS, etc.), I'm pretty sure I'd rank the McLaren above the 3RS as a road-only car. For the track, I'm a Porsche guy.

Now I want a 750S. Not for the quicker time but for the feeling he had when he got out of that car.

Comparisons like thus video crack me up. All it shows it power to weight on a tight track allows for better acceleration out of the turns. I'm no track expert nor claim to be, but the 750S would be an obvious choice for this test. Also the arrow of the 3RS wasn't really able to do its job on such wet conditions.

Both great cars for 2 different intended purposes.

765LT still the sweet spot.

Guys...every car manufacturer is clued in on their product and where it stands vis a vis other products.

There are no more deals when you cross shop at this elevation.

They’re both $300k sports cars. Granted, the 3RS has a new car warranty and more accessible dealer network.
