Saw the car - it's spectacular!
About a week ago, my wife and I went to Germantown to see Shahul, Steve and their GT R PRO. I am shocked that anyone who could afford a GT R and who's in the market now for a GT R or maybe a GT C wouldn't grab this stunning limited-edition model in the same spec that I saw at the L.A. auto show about a year ago. One of the PRO owners on this forum who had a GT R suggested that there was a marked improvement with the PRO on the street and on the track. Early YouTube channel posters were enthusiastic, as well.
As with others' responses to posters saying they they're worried about resale in light of the upcoming Black Series or 2021/2 refresh, I would think that the PRO would be a great car to own and drive now particularly if he/she plans to track it. I agree with others that the PRO, even if rarely driven, will hold it's value about the same as "regular GT Rs" percentagewise especially out a few years. As others pointed out on another thread here, after a while it's all about condition and desirability of the spec.
I saw the PRO at the LA auto show about a year ago and got on the list at my "we're-the-largest-in-North-America" dealership near my home in SoCal. I was one of three who would likely get a car. The GM met with each of us to review our intended specs (mine was very close if not the same to Shahul's and Steve's). They wanted to make sure that they weren't stuck with weird car if the buyer walked. They were clear that there would be an ADM "depending on the market at time of delivery" but when I later learned that they had turned down someone who offered $100,000 over MSRP, I took my name off the list. I also realized that I wouldn't track the car enough, if at all, to warrant the track-oriented suspension adjustments and aero bits.
Before we were thinking of the move from SoCal to VA, I had thought about buying a GT R or C as garage mate to our '18 GT3 and as the replacement for the DB11. I had started to talk to Shahul about buying from their store but then we moved to VA where we'll need a winter car. The day that we were at the dealership, Shahul and Steve had just taken delivery on a number of AMG 63 vehicles - S Class Coupes, E-wagons, some other AMG coupes and maybe a G63-Wagen. Some had already been shipped all over the U.S., and they are prepared to ship the PRO, as well.
I thought Benzbell did an excellent comparison between his former AMG GT R and the 911 GT3 RS. I, too, miss my GT S but not enough that I would trade the GT3 for one instead of the DB11. Prior to our current cars, my wife and I took turns daily driving the '16 AMG GT S and a '15 911 Turbo S. When driving one, I never missed the other, but was always excited to get into the other car for that experience. Most readers on the forum can understand why each car is special in its own way.
If anyone has read this far, let me digress and vent. It galls me that some dealers in areas like SoCal where there are a lot of high-rollers who want to brag that they paid $100K over for the first GT R PRO or the first G63, have the opportunity to charge crazy ADMs that drop to the bottom line as pure profit. Dealers in the same region that choose not to charge ridiculous ADMs or that don't have the $$$$ customer base to charge ADMs or if that choose to take care of their enthusiast customers cannot possibly compete for better bottom-line results and as a result likely don't get the best allocations. I'm a big believer in dealer/sales loyalty and my non-ADM GT3 with a last-minute allocation reinforced my loyalty to my Porsche dealer. Another bottom line: somebody buy this car, track it and post about it. BTW, lack of an ADM is probably a good hedge against part of the depreciation.
^ I repeatedly told Shalul to equip the car with the Yellow interior and not the Silver, but did he listen? No. So no trading cars for me! lol
I’m kidding of course, and agree that Shalul deserves this car sold ASAP. Anyone wanting a perfect spec ‘Pro’ at MSRP would be nuts not to buy this car.
