My intention was not to have Porsche lose any money by giving away free stuff and sponsorship, but rather having a type of contract/lien on the car. The only way you would get that discount would be if you somehow show your entry/use of the car on a track. If you fail to do so, then you would not be fulfilling your promise which gave you that big discount in the first place. Then you would be required to pay the difference.
For simplicity's sake, if a GT3 stickers at $100K, the individual who agreed to actually "use" the car, would only pay $70K. The guy who only wants to pose in the car would pay $130K. That way Porsche did not lose any $$. I know this is utopia but what else would discourage/differentiate the snooty 911 drivers from the actual enthusiast who just can't afford to enjoy the machinery? The guys buying the car to show off would not be deferred by the price since if they can swing $100K then $130K would not make them blink either (probably).
By the way, Mazda and Mazdaspeed have an arrangement where you can get fairly good deals on parts if you show you track your car. Meanwhile, we have to BEG dealerships to order "plasticky" brake deflectors.... sheesh.
