Would love to see your car when it arrives!! I think it'll make the rest of us drool--PAG hasn't done a painted cup car since the 993 era. You getting yours in blue or white?

Congrats! Good news is that when you deal with race cars you deal direct with PMNA and dealers don't get involved.

OK still the their thought process is the same. While the OPTION to install afterward is there from Motorsports, it did not come with ABS. If IMSA required it of all Gen 1s and 2s next year then the trickle down in a couple years with many more cups with ABS already installed would factor into their decision. Until then, I just dont see it happening. You can present all the reduced costs data , but the increased safety is not bad untill you look to the 997s that could have been forced to install ABS for safety, but never was and never will.
that is what i thought as well

mine was as follows:
$223k for the car
$25k for shipping & import
$20k for spares package
$26.8K for sales tax (which can be gotten back, if structured properly...)
so, $268k net after getting sales tax back...
VERY important to note that once you have the car, you’re just getting started with spending $$$ - and you should do so with a race shop that REALLY knows what they’re doing...
additional costs include:
- dyno/break-in time...
- abs kit - must have, if at all possible...
- additional sets of wheels - preferably 4...
- radio/video systems...
- cool suit cooler...
- wrap design/cost...
- tires - the gift that keeps on taking - “hey - the first set is on me...”
- race shop track prep...
- hit/touch something - it IS going to happen...
it’s an expensive hobby/sport/mistress...
but it’s really good for your mental state - and i mean REALLY GOOD...
and there’s NO WAY i’m giving it up anytime soon...
The CUP operating cost is much higher however.

I agree..............these prices have gone DOWN from PMNA over the years...........in the Cup world, this is a bargain, especially considering how fast these new Cups are!
And the new 992 Cup won't be out until early 2020.........this would be a great Club/track car.....love the blue! :-)

I wonder if they will finally come standard with ABS?
