I didn't know that you could put a deposit on a GT2 right now. I do agree that a GT2 RS would be a wet dream.

Default GT3 RS

My buddy's dad bought a GT2 and I think it was his wet dream...because he started crying when he realized how steep the depreciation curve was!

Why not have your cake and eat it too? Get an RS and have someone throw some turbos on it.

Next best thing - RS & 996 GT2. #1 position for 997 GT2.

RS is amazing, preferred track car - GT2 is the fastest / toughest / raw HP - love it!!!

And btw, on a percentage basis GT2s haven't depreciated more than GT3s - they are basically on par. The 997 GT2 will no doubt depreciate but it should fare a little better since Porsche is producing fewer of them than the 996 version.

when is yours coming

That is not even a dream. That is way beyond imagination. Walt Disney could not put that on film. You guys must pump pure oxygen in just to be able to breathe. Wow!

Gorgeous, well-lit, well-displayed garage. Cars aren't bad either

Do you have a work lift as well?

Wow, is that your garage? Are you looking to adopt a 38 yr old orthopedic surgeon? I have a GT2 allocation for 2/08 if it helps...
