They seem to have the same engine, but rated at different power outputs?

I don’t think I understand the difference.

The Spyder is a Porsche motorsport car with the GT4 suspension (991.2 GT3 front suspension and brakes+ GT3RS dampers),

This video details some of the differences (I'm not saying its a great video, but it does highlight why the spyder is a more sharp edged car.)

I haven’t driven a new GT3; would love to compare them. It’s nowhere near as insane, obviously, but it really does feel like the apex of what you can imagine in a Boxster.

So badass.

I am still hopeful I get a chance to buy one new.

I’m looking at CPO. But it depends on feedback from JST and JV.

All the CPO GTS 4.0s I'm seeing (both Boxster and Cayman) still appear to be asking way above original MSRP. I dont doubt these cars will hold significant value in years to come..but i'd still be uncomfortable paying that much above original MSRP

I see the same thing. There is just so little inventory of Boxsters/Caymans of any kind on dealer lots, I suppose they think it's justified. But, help your self to Macans all day long.

Edit: Here's a local GTS 4. It's nicely optioned, but surely that asking price is over sticker:

MSRP $102,990 (in the notes of the listing) - so 20k over

Yup. Which is nuts.

I can wait. I just hope to get one before production ends. I think the jury is still out on whether they will make them for MY 2024. If they do, I'd like to think I should be fine. If 2023 is the last year that could be bad news. Maybe the additional plant will help. Maybe a recession will "help."

It seems many people are on multiple wait lists, so there is artificial pent-up demand for sure

With the demand being what it is maybe Porsche will pull a Toyota and keep it in production for 10 years…wishful thinking I know.

Yeah. I’m just assuming I won’t get an allocation.

But there seems to be enough inventory that is CPO.

I’m terrible at waiting. In case you didn’t notice.

Market is cooling, I think—two GTS cars RNM in the last week.
