I'd feel a bit silly spending $240k on a 911, no matter how fast it is. Even with only 500 GT2 RS models made, the general public is going to have a hard time noticing that your 911 is any different from the multitude of 911 Turbo's on the streets meaning that you're paying the exclusivity price without the exclusivity benefits.

Well, I wouldn't buy an exclusive Porsche for the general public to notice, I'd buy it if I liked the way it drove and thought it was worth the money.

As it goes I'd be hard pressed to spend 1/10 of that price on a car right now, so I didn't think my response was needed in here, considering the angle of the first post.

Well my thinking is that you can easily get a RWD 620HP sport car for far less than $240k. When you get into that kind of financial territory you're often paying for exclusivity. With the Porsche 911 (as great as it is), you're simply not getting exclusivity which means that you're paying a good deal of money for very little benefit.

Aficionados will drool over it, and there are a few of those out there. It's less of a crowd pleaser and more of a motorsport/car fan pleaser.

You'd be hard pressed to buy a RWD rear engined supercar with the on track credentials of the GT2 for less than that though, and for some (911 enthusiasts) that matters far more.

I can recommend a ZR-1 or GT-R for less than half the cost. You could then use the savings to modify both of them for even more performance.

Well I can't afford either, as I said, lol. But I'd buy both a GT-R and an Aston Martin (Vantage and DBS) before I'd buy this particular Porsche.

That said, I would've probably thrown a regular 911 Turbo in between the two Astons.
