could be $120k loaded (my dealer's estimate)... very nice dealer markup i am sure-
(i noticed that one of the options is a debadge option- seems strange to pay not to get something!! )

but the markup on this car is still not as bad as the f430 markup- around $100k markup, and they are still hard to find here!!

just noticed that this article suggests a $100k plus $20k for options price:

Wow, $130K for that? If I needed that type of car and for that kind of $$ I'd take the new 911TT in a heartbeat. For me personally if I had that kind of money, I dont see anything out there sexier than the GT3 right now.

I would probably end up saving the 40k and get a new viper, but the GT3 is dead sexy for sure.

however I haven't see a too much of the R8 or a true road test (etc.)

The GT3 is dope, but lets not forget the R8 would be a better DD car.

Right now I'd love a Ferrari F430 but hell that's 2x the cost of a GT3 for a car that (IMO) is not 2x as dope as the GT3. If that makes any sense.

The GT3 is for those who want to feel snootier than the common Z06 owner but can't afford to be truly snooty and own a Ferrari. It's in between.
