Shmee150 Absolutely Incredible Head to Head Review I think it's awesome that Autowelt let you drive both gens of 911 Sports Classic and I definitely agree that they aren't worth the 100k extra and I think you should definitely get a 992 Carrera GT3 or GT3RS along with a 718 Cayman GT4RS

I think you somewhat overlook what options the price includes. There are very few options. I spec'd one up with only 5k in options, whereas I normally spec 20-30k on regular models. Of course, I guess it depends whether or not the standard spec really appeals. Then there's the fact that you have a unique powertrain and body shell, etc, and you're never going to lose any money, rather you are likely to make money. Consequently, I don't think it at all surprising that all 1250 were pre-sold. IMO, the GTS is more overrated than the Sport Classic. As always, YMMV, and that's okay.

Shemee, Enjoyed your back-to-back review. I just looked at one from our local dealer this past weekend. Beautifully done, inside/out. Of course it was already sold. What surprises me on this 992 Sport Classic and considering it's price (not to mention the crazy dealer markup, as much as double, on these pre-sold units), I wonder why Porsche did not build these as Normally Aspirated with a 6-Speed manual. With all the carbon fiber that IS used in the car, could had been a limited edition Sport Classic 992R, just saying. Perhaps you're right, it intension is to be a "clinical drive" 911 Porsche.
