Default OT: 2011 GT2RS!

Went with my buddy to the local dealer last night to pick up his new Cayman and they had one of these sitting in the lot. Number 500 of 500. Sticker was 259K and change. Would love to have driven it!

Sorry for crappy cell phone pics and it was raining and overcast in NJ yesterday.

I'm not greedy, I'll take only one.....

I would be a little pissed if it was mine and being left outside in the snow...

What's with the rear headlights. Speedy back-ups need more illumination?

Yeah, I would not be happy about it being outside either. This dealer has space for about 5 cars in the showroom, the rest are in the elements.

The car is not sold yet. The salesmen said there has been huge interest and he thinks it will be gone by the weekend.

That's weird. I thought only about 150 of the 500 made it to the States and they were all spoken for...

Yep, and that was before the economy took a massive ****ter.

Some banker didn't get his bonus this year...

Exactly. Don't know the entire story, but the car was sold and the buyer backed out.

Somebody at the dealership must've made a nice commission off the deposit they kept, hehe.

500 of 500 is pretty sweet, BTW. Whoever gets will technically have THE LAST 997 GT2RS. I bet it's gone in no time.

WOW! What a car, but that's also a lot of clams for a car! Sure looks sexy though!

Wow, amazing colour!!

It's pretty lame of the dealership to leave it out in the salty parking lot! I'm sure whoever buys it will never know.

Yeah, gotta make sure those Panameras and Cayennes stay warm and dry...

I wouldn't worry too much about it being outside for a few minutes. It's probably on the truck already.
