Well, my buddy Russ has picked up his second GT3 RS which is for sale. Price TBD. He sold the first one pretty quick and then got a line on the second one just today.
Curiously, I called Pfaff Porsche in Canada and they only had an allocation for 8--all of which are sold and said that only 25 had been allocated for all of Canada.
Then I called Atlanta and their guy said that there may NOT be a 2008 GT3RS and that they had 15 people on the waiting list.
Then I emailed Dubai Porsche and they said they had sold 5 already, but wouldn't tell me if they had any more coming. (Interestingly, Porsche is building a tower in Dubai!)
LSD - Limited Slip Differential
A limited slip differential (LSD) is a modified or derived type of differential gear arrangement that allows for some difference in rotational velocity of the output shafts, but does not allow the difference in speed to increase beyond a preset amount. In an automobile, such limited slip differentials are sometimes used in place of a standard differential, where they convey certain dynamic advantages, at the expense of greater complexity.
The main advantage of a limited slip differential is found by considering the case of a standard (or "open") differential where one wheel has no contact with the ground at all. In such a case, the contacting wheel will remain stationary, and the non-contacting wheel will rotate freely– the torque transmitted will be equal at both wheels, but will not exceed the threshold of torque needed to move the vehicle, thus the vehicle will remain stationary. In everyday use on typical roads, such a situation is very unlikely, and so a normal differential suffices. For more demanding use however, such as driving off-road, or for high performance vehicles, such a state of affairs is undesirable, and the LSD can be employed to deal with it. By limiting the velocity difference between a pair of driven wheels, useful torque can be transmitted as long as there is some friction available on at least one of the wheels.

Well, the dealership http://www.thegallerydenver.com has picked up its (3rd) 2007 GT3 RS. They expect to be sending this one to either Dubai or Russia.
