how's this for starters:

Exactly, though I think the current numbers are closer to $50k and $15k...

This thread is all over the place

I have read somewhere that Porsche makes less profit(percentage wise) on a GT3 than on a 997S or TT. Is that true?

Yes, the base GT3 is the most Porsche quality per dollar available in their current lineup (and costs Porsche relatively more to produce)...

Mooty,

You would be surprised, there are a few around, a couple TT's 5-6 Carrera's of varying vintages and an equal amount of boxsters & Caymans with a Cayenne or two thrown in. Only one GT3 however! Yea, Sea Ranch,on Hwy-1, I may have built your Boss's house I have done just over 100 of them here.

Jack - Nice Lotus Cup Car!

Did you run with the Audi Group at MMP this weekend? If so, it was nice to meet you. Let me know how your Cup car turns out...

Thanks,
-Blake

And now it's over, what we have learned. It is very difficult to sell a GT3 RS over MSRP.
