Who has a deposit on the LE GT3 RS?

When I was selling Porsches, we had a list of people leaving deposits on "speculations."
And the $50k increase for 50hp isn't too ridiculous. For Porsche anyway. Look at the dollar to horsepower ratio for the X50 and X51 packages on 996 models.

My guess is a minor power bump, carbon fibre bits from the 2RS and a lot of bling carbon inside as PAG empties the parts bins. I'm thinking 1997 993 Turbo S as a guide.

Dealer relationship is beyond that of needing deposit, but do have right of first refusal if my dealer gets an allocation.
Just to add to the rumor mill- it is going to be PDK mated to 4.0L, 495hp. Corner sensing dynamic camber adjustment of front wheels. Sequential shifter mated to a regular six-speed for no lift upshifts but don't need 40 hour rebuilds either. Electronic downshift throttle blips.
They went to Guard for a LSD that actually works and MovIt is doing the brakes.
Oh- forgot the active aero front and rear.

Nowadays with Porsche pumping out so-called special editions/models like rabbits, I don't see the need rushing into the LE and encouraging them to continue the practice -- there are way too many models in the 911 line already, mostly are just mix-and-match parts-pin specials with an engineering tweak of horsepower here and bodywork there.
I would say at least wait and see what the offical specifications of the LE will be, before rushing our money into it.
Just my thought.

I doubt PDK - adapting the M64 block to PDK for a few cars would not make economic sense. As to 500 HP, the latest GT3 R gets near that since it has no restrictor. No warranty either mind you ..

Limited edition of a limited edition of a limited edition. Then there's Mk I and Mk II versions, each with "limited editions" to their run. Add em all up and there's a LOT of cars.
Oh well, marketing cars this way is great for Porsche's bottom line and makes people like me happy when you can get GREAT cars for 50% off (or more if you want a GT2) by waiting a few years.
