992 ST is out, Yawn, another multi millionaire toy

Yeah, I'm not even posting a link to it, it's all over "all the internets" thanks to Porsche's guerilla marketing... not like anyone here will buy one anyway (not based on $, but availability)...
1963 will be made and likely sold by tomorrow night ;-) A car designed for feel and involvement more than ultimate performance (but it has that too), lighter, a close box ratio (finally!!!), nice homage to the early S/T..

$300K with an option or 2 ($291+), plus what, $200K of dealer markup probably? Or more ?

Where is Porsche going? They're becoming Ferrari... You can't even buy these if you win the lotto tomorrow, you need to have a relationship with the dealer (read you bought all the cayennes they can't sell). It makes me sad.

Porsche were the brand I chose to follow and buy (mostly used cars) from as I could. Good engineering, robustness, perfect on track etc... Over the years I worked my way on track to discover the incredible nature of a GT3 - first as a passenger, then borrowed from friends, then "rented" at PEC many times.. Got me thinking... Back in the day, regular joes like me would see the new GT3 come out ($100-150K) and think "OK, in 5-8 years of depreciation", you're mine - maybe if we don't need a new roof - LOL ! These days, used ones are worth more than they were new. New ones are way more $ than ever before, before you even factor in the stupid dealer markup or the dealer relationship game.. So game over. The car is amazing on track but I can't justify those prices.

Anyway nice ST.. Good to know they can make a close ratio box, we only asked them to for like 2 decades !
