If you add in the CF seats, cage, fire, battery switch and whatever else we don't get (plastic windows) ... it's most of $250K taxes and first year of registration all lumped into the (im)practical reality of actually taking possession of the 4.0 ... ouch ...
217k not including tax and license. Specced similar to my 3.8 RS with all the fancy, useless, non-track stuff. About 240k with the stupid 10% tax and fees here.

Yeah, I can't imagine that would give anyone warm and fuzzies if you shelled out a quarter million for a GT2RS and kept hearing him say this RS is the one RS to rule them all.

It goes to show how hard it is to be a "product evangelist" because you can't keep polishing up the same old superlatives. Still, he's working to a broad audience and he's in English as a second language.

Nevertheless, GT2 RS owners are not likely to quibble over the rightful place of their status symbol in the annals of Porsche legends. And hell, most of the GT2 RS buyers will be parking a matching RS 4.0 right alongside and using the same feather duster for them both.

Well for me, not surprised... as expected, and... if I could, I would.

Tax here is 13% BTW.
