Re: OFFICIAL: 911 GT2 RS (2017)
Leawood911:As I recall Pikes Peak ended badly for you last year so perhaps you should not have mentioned that in your application.
But don’t feel bad I can’t even get a GT3. Been one the list since the 997.
Depends on the point of view, I found a cliff that I can drive of without falling 4000 ft
In the process, demonstrate the durability of a Porsche race car when the same car is back on the grid the very next day
935 WAS a sour spot for me. Frank told me 99% sure I will get one. Head of PCNA same thing, head of Porsche Canada too, and same with head of PMNA.
The car was suppose to be only for Motorsport VIP customers and there really aren't 77 of those in the world. Well 70. 7 of these are for 'special clients'.
I have been dealing with Porsche for so long now I know my pecking order, the initial requirement was that one has to be a Motorsport client AND one cannot be a car dealer, that was straight from Weissach. A quick count in my head I know I am in. The second requirement was a surprise as a lot fo the biggest Porsche Motorsport teams are run by their dealers. initially I was told Chris Pfaff isn't going to get a car as he is a dealer, the biggest Porsche dealer in Canada in fact, but he also ran a very successful race team, that paid Porsche a giant boatloads of money a year, so not a surprised that he would eventually get one, actually the only one in Canada. He really do deserves one. But Manny? Really?
He tops me by about a million and change in Instagram followers and 3 Bugattis. Dude not even a loyal Porsche guy.
Likely I will beat him in his GT2RS with say a Panamera on a track. One handed. With a cigarette in hand. And with 4 passengers.
Now I know where PCNA's priorities lies.
