Will Porsche burn the midnight oil to beat potential tariffs ?

Nope. And if they decide to raise prices to cover we will pay with a smile. Watch.

I was told this past weekend by dealer sales rep (German) that the plant is shut down now for 2 weeks for summer break and work will begin again in August. That's probably good for nothing, but I am hopeful, as my car is a late September build. Fingers crossed that tariffs will not impact.

They have zero issue selling them all, why bother? The parts problem are costing them so much already even eating any tariffs would be cheaper. Reality is, it will be passed on to customers and less than 1% will pull out.

How many more threads regarding this tariff issue are you going to start? Why not put all into your original thread on this subject matter? Oh yeah, the mods keep moving it to a forum with much less traffic.

I would cancel your order and let someone else have your RS who isn't worried about production #s, value, tariffs, how rare GR will be as a result of polling where people pick colors other than GR, or the wrong cost/benefit ratio of the WP.
I'm not scared of any of those things!

I bet you would like me cancel my order. But the thought of you looking at your GR RS knowing it’s a near identical twin to mine and I paid msrp is just too special for me to give up. That should also make it extra special for you and well worth that adm. Remember, just think of Waxer and your adm every time you look at your RS. Enjoy! Lol

You should go back to worrying about the total production of 991.1 GT3 RS
