You will be surprised regarding pure racing cars. I friend of mine races in the Lamborghini Blancpain Series. He has 3 Lamborghini GT3 cars (Huracan and Galardo) and none of these have lost any money (despite having been in the armco I don't know how many times).
I think he's been telling you porkies...this one is 100k down already...

The 991 GT3 RS is a track tool and not really a collectors item. Porsche has produced more than 8000 of them.
I track my GT3 RS regularly and it is a better car after a track day.
8000? really? where is that figure from?I track my GT3 RS regularly and it is a better car after a track day.
Whenever i track my gt3's they are a worse car after a track day.
What am i doing wrong?

Has anyone been keeping a record of UK delivery numbers,
and how many have already been sold, or advertised for sale?
I've been keeping a log of cars I've seen. Here's what I have for RHD UK customer cars:and how many have already been sold, or advertised for sale?
40 - cars delivered and individually identified by separate VRM/VINs
10 - cars delivered and individually identified but VRM/VINs not obtained
06 - cars I know of still in the pipeline / coming soon
The numbers above don't include the test mule, the launch car, the press car or the 2 pre-pro cars (which have now been reassigned as Andy and Darren's cars, GT08BOS and GT08AMR respectively).
I have quite a few images of further cars (mostly Stirling/Lime examples) which remain unidentified. They could be duplicates so they aren't included in the counts, but in reality there's probably at least another 5 cars within those images.
Furthermore, its highly unlikely I am aware of every car out there so, realistically, I reckon there will probably be circa 70-80 UK cars...

My registry for worlwide cars lists 45 UK RHD Customers cars + 1 press car + 2 pre-productions (now GT08 BOS and GT08 AMR). - It does include very few cars which haven't been delivered yet (incl. mine)40 - cars delivered and individually identified by separate VRM/VINs

- it doesn't include 3-4 cars in Stirling Green for fear of double-counting as they are similarly spec'd. (there are 7 in stirling green included in the 45)
So, all in all there are a total approx 50-55 UK cars, definitely not 70-80.
How many Stirling green cars do you have in your count AOK? Maybe you have counted some of the re-registered GT8s (i.e. those flipped straight after first delivery)?

You can only be as sure of your data as I am of mine! FFM said:

I've been made aware of 2 more physical cars + I didn't know you had one coming. As such, my UK RHD customer list now looks like this:41 (of which 10 Stirling Green HS) - cars delivered and individually identified by separate VRM/VINs
11 (of which 02 Stirling Green HS) - cars delivered and individually identified but VRM/VINs not obtained
07 (of which ?? Stirling Green HS) - cars I know of still in the pipeline / coming soon
There are at least 2 more Stirling Green HS cars in my "unidentified" pile which can't be any of the above due to alloy/winglet/roof/decklid combinations, but keeping them out of the count just in case. The following are excluded from the above count:
KW65WJM - Test mule (still being driven around, spotted recently)
KU16EJV - now GT08BOS
KU16EJZ - now GT08AMR, apparently
KS16WVG - LHD launch car
GT08AML - RHD press car
XXXXXXX - RHD Grey with Orange Asia dealer car

All 10 of the Stirling Green HS customer cars for which I have identities are (as of today) showing as having 0 previous keepers. They are also all taxed, so cannot be 'passed to trade'. In fact, of all 41 cars I have identified there is only 1 car which (by DVLA records) has definitely changed hands, and it's a little known black car.Edited by AOK on Monday 24th April 20:38

We are aligned in regards of those 10 (3 of those are Auto transmission + 4 Manual + 3 un-identified). Do you have the limited edition number of those too, by any chance? I only have 4 of the 10Edited by AOK on Monday 24th April 20:38
Question about GT8 exhaust valve... Yes, yes it doesn't need to be louder... But...
On my Vantage Roadster I had a switch installed to open or close the exhaust valve, and on my Vanquish I just have the fuse out and permanent noise - but even still it's not too much.
The dream world would be a switch with 2 modes; how it is in Sport and just always open - whereby it wouldn't be valved at slow speeds and low revs. Obviously the latter system would not be London friendly so it isn't really an option to do it 24/7. The other would be to just pull the valve for the road trip coming up and put it back in afterwards. Has anybody come across clever ideas for this yet?
