In which case I may yell out "FORZA FERRARI". Fastest production base car in the world my-***. If you consider a boutique auto manufacturer that happens to use a production line as production based then whatever. You can build F1 cars on a production line if you set up the tooling and methodology to do so...

Does anyone know where I'm going with this? Sorry off topic for one. And two any car that does a sub 7 minute lap of the Ring is not production based even if it is assembled on an assembly line.

On another note, patiently awaiting the response from Dodge! Of course they will automatically point towards the cost!!!

used 997 cup = 100 + used 997gt2 = 120 + used 997gt3 = 70 = $290 > gt2/rs unless you order it in a custom color, full leather and extra carbon -> then = same

So Will you buy 2 used 996 gt3s or 3 specboxsters instead of a 7.2 gt3?
These comments of buying New cars Versus buying Several Old Cars are pointless unless you are talking about racecars (where new is same as old but fresh/rebuilt as there's no warranty)...
aples to apples please...
Does It justify 100k over a GT3? Or how does It compare against a New Gallardo or more expensive 458 or maybe the Mclaren? Those are the relevant comparos for the real buyers in that can afford to buy in that market

It's the fastest real street legal reliable Porsche EVER... How much is that worth?

I am not ashamed to admit I am fully aroused by the performance and specs of the GT2RS

What a car.

much better deal than that damn Sport Classic foolish people bought, i see value in the GT2RS to an extent.. the Sport Classic was just a pure waste of money, for a bump roof and interior, oh yeah.... oh shaped echaust tips.... the rest can be added to a build to order car.


GT2RS sounds like a friggin beast.

True this ...
I liked my 997 Gt2 as well as my 996 Gt2.. Street legal full leather ac and radio sub 2:00 car at vir... But not a 100k over a gt3 Rs !

If they truly made oneof a series I understand but the make more and mre the become less sought after..... Sir I choose not to play in the market any more... My 194k Gt2 didn't hold the value... The rs's didn't .. Panamara not .. Fcars not.. Hell the only thing that did was my ford Gt !!! Lol

back to the point it's bit now or ever will be worth a 100k over a GT3
1 in 100 will even be able to explore the limits of that car
