Question New GT2? Why?

Who's ordering a new GT2? I'm sure there won't be many available. I wonder if the price will hold up better than before. With the MSRP around $200k, do you think there will be a premium? I don't know, but I just don't feel that this is going to be as successful as the RS in holding its value. What do you think?
But, what a car!

With traction control and stability control, at least this version won't tear your head off if you look at it the wrong way. I think that will ensure it's more popular than its forebear, although hard-core purists may not be impressed.

Polar Peter,
Noticed you have a Scuderia coming in. When do you anticipate delivery? Will the CF seats be US compliant?

I've tried to get on the list, but my salesman still won't even admit that it is officially coming to the US. Anyone know where I can put my name on a list?

Congratulations on the car. Even though I have an RS coming next month, the Scuderia is in another league.

Instead of losing $100k on one GT2 buy 2 GT3s and dont lose half as much and end up with two cars.

Default RS

An older RS might be a better choice. Which one is more fun, 73RS, 964RS or 993RS? Looks like it's best to wait on any version if you expect to drive em.
