Around the the same delay as mine, do you know what the delay is ??
No reason given but they think it's probably chip shortages

Last one I looked a couple of weeks ago there were only 5 cars in the OPC network...there are now 12. Great cars...not sure I’d be spending £150k on one though !

Choice atm essentially is either £150k now or £160k in a weeks time come June, as predicted a few months ago....

I thought you had good taste taff for a minutesmile the rear end is proper fugly,front not looking so bad from the 3/4 angle,but who ever designed that rear end needs to go back to bmw.

I think people are seeing the high prices and chancing there arm to make a few quid., I would imagine they will be on SOR at the OPCs.Bullet proof engine has made them attractive , I keep saying to myself if I sell what would I replace it with at that price point and get the same performance.You would think the RS would be going up in value , but they are not from what I see.

Rs models were sitting around for quite a long time hence the prices,maybe the lack of track driving opportunity hindered their sales ?

Could well be that , different market really than the GT3 being not so radical looking and as track focussed.Would love an RS, but seeing as my driving is on the road I get the feeling it would be to hard a suspension and maybe tramline at speed.Was put off an RS because of this and still wonder should I have as I only use the car to blow away the cobwebs and not a DD.

Have a RS as a daily and fine , better as PDK and with a lift rides higher , so fine in all multi-story car parks .

I owned a 991.2GT3 before my current RS and i find the RS at least as easy to use on the road as the GT3. Same LWBs so ingress/egress the same and with lift no problem with speedbumps etc. Would never swap my RS for a GT3 of any gen.

Looks like my loss then, but food for thought.

Anyone who pays £220k for one of the first flipped 992GT3s is clearly in need of therapy. There are far better cars to buy with that sort of money IMO.
;-) correct, never ever. Better buy 991.2 RS.
£220? I would put a bet £250 is reached. There are 991.2 Gt3s at nearly £160k now.
Yep and the GT3 has the major bonus of the optional way more interactive manual gearbox.....

The black decal on the door is awful. It exaggerates the long wheelbase (compared to classic 911’s) and makes the rear end look even more heavy and bloated than it already is.
