Car-spotting thread

Email received from Porsche dealer. 2022 GT3 production in USA will be 820 cars, not 3000 as previously thought.

So, GT3 allocations will be priced at $50,000 over sticker. So roughly $225,000 for a car with a few options.

so I looked this up, there are 192 porsche dealers in the USA...that means each one could get 4 to 5 cars.....You know the used porsche market way better than I do....at 50k over, would you still be able to turn around and sell the car for more than you paid for it after a couple of years?

And this email coming from a dealer, im of course totally suspect....what factories PLAN to build and what they actually build are not usually in line.

Wheels were cambered out too.

The automotive equivalent of a B29. I wonder if the driver has a release button to drop Yeager once he reaches cruising speed on I-95.

Fun fact about the B29 that I love....it cost 3 billion to develop that plane..the most expensive project in WWII....the entire Manhattan project was 1.9 billion. Amazing, considering it was used effectively for about a year in WWII, then for only about the first year in Korea...limited role after that bc mig 15s were shooting them down......Then replaced by the B52 which we are still using.

Agreed it's not as bad as it seems. Wanna hand me 50K and see if this works out?

2018 models are still selling over sticker. Maybe 10 to 25 over. Touring models 30 to 40 over. Which is why they are marking up the new ones so much.

Reminds me of the used car market right after cash-for-clunkers.

My guy tells me that Porsche is doing what everyone else is doing as a result of the chip shortage, allocating overhead to build and sell more SUV's (their volume sellers). Their sports car prices are super inflated right now, he's telling me to stay away if resale is a concern. The GT cars really don't count, his customers that buy those aren't too concerned with resale since its usually represents one more toy in an already vast collection. Plus they buy a $200k plus car then spend another $100k to customize it to make it a little faster.
