Persistence? I don't think I've posted much in this thread. Maybe you have me mixed up with someone else.

I think the GT3 RS is a great car, well worth the MSRP. Given that it's designed as a track car, buying it just for the looks or only for the road seems silly to me, but obviously some people are doing exactly that.

I might say the same about you, except that I know of some people who are definitely worse.

I'm sure more than a handful of these cars being bought are by showoffs/posers for Cars & Coffee, flippers (many VIP cars will be flipped after their hold period), collectors, and the hot money crowd who want the most hyped new shiny toy out there.

I don’t normally read this thread and wasn’t subscribed, and I see that I walked into a room full of people having some ‘issues’ related to their car purchase, so I’m gonna unsubscribe …

95% of every suv you’ll see today was bought bc the owner needed a minivan, but thought the suv was cooler looking.

Hold the phone.... You do realize most GT3 guys buy GT3s ONLY to say.... "I drive a GT3". Yet dont have the ***** to drive 120mph yet alone push a machine to any of its designed engineering glory. Lets not forget, most GT3 guys know only one thing about their cars.... "it can rev to 9k RPM.

I'm buying the 3rs for one main reason, I want instagram followers on my private ig acct I never use. Already started the car its very own Onlyfans page and thinking about linking it to Rakuten. Wanted another Autostacker so figured the pay per clicks would cover the costs.

What's silly to me is how many drive the speed limits on public roads when they're empty.... also rev limiters are just so EU on the sound regulations.

Funny you bring this up... when you daily "racecars" it definitely makes you think 2x about what places you can turn into. Driving a Viper ARC-E is probably the worst though..... there's no option for lift and every turn in must be damn near parallel entry. The nose section of the 4RS seemed a tiny bit longer that the 991 and wasn't 100% sure when I ordered both the 4rs and 3rs went mandatory front lifts. The irony is both the 911 and 4RS look like boats compared to a Viper ACR-E.

Im not really sure why you would care? And I mean you really don’t know what any individual is going to do with it so you’re just guessing. But in all honesty, why would you really care what reason an individual bought one of these cars for?? Or why would you care if they paid over MSRP? Why wouldn’t you just congratulate them on it and if you think it’s a good looking version, let them know that? This is an open forum but it’s never really welcomed to criticize based off of speculation. Any criticism should be constructive anyway. Otherwise it’s more of an insult.

Very true, but you also can’t tow with a minivan. Not anything of significance anyway.

Is there a thread that posts open slots and their ADMs? I was thinking this would be it?

Frankly most the guys that say their dealers are offering a slot for X ADM probably are blowing smoke.

The 3RS will end up being a very limited run for the US due to parts constraints and are selling for even 200k USD over sticker over in Europe.

Point is simple, without a commission number that dealer doesn't have **** and I personally wouldn't agree to a 6 figure ADM withoit seeing proof of an actual slot.

I just Took delivery of my 4RS and even that car being a slightly higher production run has a list waiting for it.

For anyone curious this is Carrera white metallic with Xpel Stealth PPF.




Also.... 18ways for the MF'in Win! Also this was a stickered 195k spec with everything deviated stitching and leather wrapped basically.

This caThimble a cruiser than a race car to me.
