I presently own a 991.2 GT3 RS very similar to the one in the video.
I consider myself an average driver who loves those moments when I can exercise my car in situations other than track venues. I love my RS and it provides me with the entertainment I seek in owning a high performance car. It makes me a better driver because of the limits it's capable of.
I know the 992GT3RS is a superior car especially in a track environment assuming the track is long enough to accommodate the speeds required to initiate the downforce the 992RS can deliver. Additionally, the 992RS requires considerable driving skills in utilizing the downforce to maximize its performance. I don't have those skills.
With all that said, I would consider by the car if it was sold to me at MSRP. I would view it as an investment that challenges me. Sadly, my dealer is asking $150,000 over MSRP. Given my limitations, it would be a foolish expenditure of money.
I think that's a reasonable reaction. I think you would enjoy having a new RS (new warranty and improvements in the car), but the financial difference is not reasonable. The MSRP has increased enough on its own (and you are apparently willing to spend that amount). However, any amount on top of that (especially $150k more than the difference) makes the whole transaction unpalatable, even if you can afford it.
