^Congratulations, that's a head-turner...NOBODY who owns a Porsche is going to see you and not take a second look. An RS Boxster was lonnnng overdue. Complaining about not having a radio and cup holder really fails to grasp the whole impetus behind the car. This is not supposed to be a comfy car. Quiet the opposite it should have ZERO of any of that. I thought it was quiet outrageous when I first saw a 997 GT3 with a SUN ROOF! These very limited builds are supposed to have very limited uses. If you want a car with more versatility don't buy this one, same reason more people don't buy a Lotus.

As for the pricing. When haven't Porsche been screwing their buyers with huge mark ups for performance similar to offerings from other brands? Those guys are a-holes who can afford to be a-holes because there are no shortage of people who will pay whatever they ask. That's one of the perks of being a small car company with a legendary reputation.

I agree there will be great demand for this car from the autocross/track crowd. What they will be willing to pay is another matter. I don't think this car will fare any better than the other track oriented Porsches which are also limited in numbers and are taking big hits on resale. While the build numbers are small so is the target market. The bottom line is that when it comes to not very practical track toys there are a ton of options now and fewer and fewer people with the dough to support a very pricey hobby.
