Not one for me but thought it will appeal to a few hot-shoes on this forum! []

I think the problem comes in getting one.......

The review in Autocar says revs 9000, 750 more than RS but RS revs to 8800 , I thought ! See below RS test

Although its 8800rpm redline falls 200rpm short of the GT3's heady power summit, the RS engine sounds even meaner, rawer, more mechancial than its 2013 namesake.

That is some engine [8D] and if you don't think too hard about it, not a bad price (before options, of course[]).

If you can get one before they are sold to the "chosen few" and then those cars that are resold by the speculators few months later with a few miles on the clock will no doubt be selling at inflated prices.

Just get fed up with great cars that you can't get hold of new. Asked the dealer and ...... no go

Yes, it's the triennial ritual of hope and frustration followed by disappointment. Unless you married the DP's daughter.[]

So out of order when you've bought Porsche and passionate about the mark and you don't even get a look in
