Now,where were you all you do gooders,experts and net forum F1 racing drivers in the early 90's when Porsche almost sold out to Daimler because they were close to folding ? So how come you guys did not do your part (read buying) in helping the company ? Dealers had to beg to sell cars (at huge discounts) and were killed on flooring costs .
Talk is cheap but excuses are even cheaper, GT2 = too expensive and widdowmaker / GT3 OMG a sunroof , I might scratch my Stand helmet / GT3 RS, not enough "hardcore" / Carr GT = we don't want any driver aids but help us we don't want to get killed so we have to sue etc etc .
Conclusion : if YOU would sit on the board you have responsibilities to every Porsche employee first to put bread on the table and keep the company in the black and would not give any considerations to some net forum "racers" who whine about not getting hardcore cars when Porsche actually builds a dedicated ............Cupcar........... but does it look good enough on Sunset Plaza with my Zaino wax ?.........

I think, that is one of the main reasons why the "less is more" attitude towards true enthusiast-model does not generate sale. Think about it; a stripped down version that costs more????
Average buyer can’t justify 200 more rpm for 50 more HP; how could they even “imagine” that in their head? When was the last time a car buyer held titanium and steel connecting-rods in theirs hands to feel the difference? It is not like the smell of the new leather or the look of the “Carbon Fiber” interior.
I’ve read on a post that the next M3 will have Carbon Fiber roof (w/o Sunroof) option.
P.S. I laugh out loud when I read "might scratch my Stand helmet"!!! Hey, but Stand21 gloves are *really* comfortable and worth every cent!

^Considering you can delete the 5 series' sunroof, the 3 series', and the M6 doesn't have one altogether, I don't think it's that farfetched to think the M3 will have a delete option
