Have to ask!

I know when EVO tested the GT2 RS, they noticed the red alcantara was worn from nervous hands gripping too tight!

The PTS really cuts the pool of potential buyers...I almost bought Graham Rahal's orange but was concerned about resale and aware of my severe car ADD!!

I agree. RB is a plus. However $230 is a LOT of money for a Porsche track car. Not saying it isn't worth the asking price, just saying that is a ton of money to ball up into a wall.

If the asking price is 230k, what was the initial purchase price?

231k? I still prefer the classic white. But definately a rare, very cool car. Those that have one, are you driving it as a DD?

I love it as a daily driver. Smoother than the 3.8 rs I had and much more midrange punch is more of a blast, even on the street!! I suspect the difference in power between 4.0 and 3.8 is felt more on the street than the track. Personally, I don't want to beat it up on the track, too special of a car

That's how I felt about my 4.0...so much torque, you don't need or want to rev it much past 5k.
