Fair enough, it will be interesting to watch. I'm thinking of GT2, CGT, 996GT3, Ford GT initial feeding frenzy and their aftermath. Jim you have nothing to worry about if you're getting yours at msrp and keeping it. Just be very careful at Mid-Ohio to keep the shiny side up!

WOW, That is some air. I will go to drivers school and easy my way into the auto racing world. I have been to Mid Ohio many times and have never been on the track.. When I was growing up my friends dad was married to the sister of Jeagger of Cincinnati Microwave and we went to the track with them several times. Thanks for the vid.

Well that did not work. One question? What is wrong with you that you must attack others. I just want to talk cars and enjoy. You want to fight? Then go to Iraq. Why did you ask for help?

nice try. i didnt attack you jim, and you know it.
you don't want to talk cars at all.
you just want to talk about what you think an RS is worth on resale.
you're very transparent.

Yes, yes you have. You have attacked me,you don't want to talk cars at all.

you're very transparent.[/ So, you do not know me. I do want to talk cars. No, bright guy I do not want to talk about resale, this is not my post. I want to talk about this car. Let me quess you are not able to get one? Nice try?, and no I do not know it. If I am so transparent tell me all knowing one, do you think if you offered me 75K right now would I take it, could you pay, and what is the answer. I do not know you and I do not want to judge you. However, I can tell by reading you posts that I am not your problem. Mirror time not seat time is what you should quest for.

I am glad you think so because I usualy like your posts and what you say. What you say now is correct and I think we will all enjoy watching the saga of this car.

actually that is not true.
when many of us got 996gt3, we said this is it, the BEST (whatever that meant). it's going to the grave with me. some of the insane one's own multiple GT3's. but many of us sold it for different reasons.

997GT3RS would be the same. what if in 2008, PAG does a street legal RSR with 3.8L? i dont have the funds, but many other rennlisters do. and i am sure they will move up to the RSR.

NO cars are real "keepers".. i learned that after many years of lying to myself.

Werd brudda. Every time I buy a car, I think, this is it! Gonna keep 'er.

36 months and 4 porsches and 1 ferrari later prove my best intentions wrong.

There is no reason to think that the next generation pcar won't be as notable a jump as the 996 to the 997 and I'll probably want that one as well.

BTW moots, you leasing your cars now? I've been thinking that I should.

Over MSRP is money lost. No problem with that. If you want it and can not wait then get it If I was getting one and someone offered me $20K I would sell it in a second. I would then wait an buy another at MSRP or a used one
