Is that fair?
I’m getting MSRP as long as I buy 12 watches and get PPF for them.

$100k would be more fair because then you'd be able to say you definitely paid more than anybody else.

Best case this is priced a little but below the Turbo, could even be priced between the Turbo and Turbo S...even if it is called GTS (which most rumors do not agree with).

Yesterday I drove the ring for the first time. It's even clearer to me now why Porsche tests their GT cars at the ring.
Interestingly, I could count in one hand the number of Lambos and Ferraris but it was full of Porsches and BMWs.

Probably because it's in Germany and bmw/porsche produce way more vehicles than Italian exotics.

Amazing experience. I'm hooked now. This is just the beginning.

Perhaps partially correct, but not the whole story. Porsche is just a more capable, reliable, and consistent track car. Lambos and Ferraris are not.

A 992.1 GTS after a stage 1 tune puts out 570-600Bhp and 700Nm of torque, an incredible difference.
The .1 is heavily de tuned to sit well under the turbos in the range in terms of performance and power. A simple stage 1 ECU tune unlocks the car’s full potential and that tuned .1 will be faster than the .2 with its electric turbo. That .2 can’t be tuned either. Additionally, it’s just more stuff to malfunction in cars that are already top heavy with tech that is prone to faults.

I’ll take a mildly tuned 992.1 thanks.

Well, Ferrari won LeMans last year, and the 488s and F8s were winning at Daytona and various WEC and IMSA races. So I wouldn't say they are poor performers in track trim.

You wonder why no one builds/opens a Nurburgring like facility in the US, open for per diem driving to anyone - perhaps with an insurance requirement to filter out the street racers, and people who would steal cars and take them to the track.
