LWBs too! I'll do a write up later when I get a chance... to play on the floor with it... I'll likely be drooling a lil bit and making 'zoooom' sounds too. I'm waiting for my son to get home from school so we can play together. He has a 458 so I'll let you all know how it stacks up.

Where did you find that? I've been looking for a model. Is it a 1:43?

In exactly 9 minutes this was viewed 45 times.

We are all quite insane. The folks at Porsche should be amused by all of this.

Yes, 1:43. $70 on eBay plus $40 to ship. Crazy isn't even the word...

You have to laugh at this statement in the description on the Suncoast web page for the model.

"This model is already discontinued by Porsche."

This is crazy.

I knew something was wrong with that pic!!! I just thought it was a bad cell phone pic from stairs or something. Wheels looked so wrong!! :

I have no idea when the first allocations are coming in.

Oh man are some of us on the edge for the first REAL pics LOL!

This is crazy.
Despite my deposit since last September and being 8th on the list, Sucoast ultimately couldn't get me an allocation. Sad times for sure. I just had to have one so I found this beauty on eBay. Apparently Porsche allowed for only RY at the time of this build. I was bummed that I couldn't have GTSilver but I ended up lucky enough to have one at all. Discontinued baby!

I paid a smidge over MSRP but I'll save that for another thread. Still trying to sort my thoughts on all that
