My sense: GT3's are sitting on dealer floors because they lack key options (mounts, lift, seats) and/or are stuffed with options most don't want, bad intro timing (fall delivery), and the economy.

Hmm, nice to know that Canadian track junkies are getting first deliveries
Local dealer has sold six RS already. Our local PCA region, Rennsport, has a large population of 996 and 997 Gt3 and RS. Last count there were 8 997 RS and twenty odd GT3's. Nice. There will be more 997.2 RS than MK1's in our club it seems. I suspect it has a lot to do with the fact that Porsche sales did not tank in Canada the way they did in the US.

Carl I don't know. I got #1. Marty Robinson got one too as did Denis Paradis and Jean Benney. Don't know the rest.

Economy is only one part of the story. Options are the other critical factor. Lack of DEM and Lift in early release cars kept a lot of folks on the sidelines. Maybe I'm not impulsive enough but I'd never spend $120k-$130k on a new car that I hadn't spec'd myself. And I certainly wouldn't buy one that a dealer had done this to:

IMO, it's the ridiculous specs that are keeping the cars from moving. Minimally optioned cars don't seem to be haning around long.

I am personally AMAZED at how many dealer ordered GT3's out there have adaptive sport seats. IMHO, that's like putting a solid oak frame Lazy-Boy in a hang glider.
