Porsche GT2RS








Intoxicating power, race car seats, and a performance that beats every other car – everything a driver could ever desire. Like a plane that cuts through air and flies ahead without looking back. 
That is the kind of velocity you can expect from the new Porsche 911 GT2 RS. 
A complete driver’s delight, because it is up to date, the fastest Porsche 911 ever made. 
With impeccable driving capacity, the 911 GT2 RS takes you from 0-60 mph in a whopping 2.7 seconds and to a top track speed of 211 mph. 
Reaching a maximum power of 690 hp, there's a reason the GT2 RS has quickly become Porsche's golden child. 
The Porsche 911 GT2 RS, loved by many, created for few. of them?

 The 911 GT2 RS is what happens when you combine a lightweight sports car with a 3.8-liter flat-six that cranks out 700 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. That monstrous power is sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The 911 GT RS accelerates from 0 to 60 mph 0.1 seconds slower than the 918, but it has a top track speed of 211 mph — making it not only the fastest Porsche 911 model but the fastest Porsche currently in production

 Based on what we are observing in the GT2 RS market, we hope car flippers will be deterred from buying limited edition track cars. Although the GT2 RS can still command close to $500,000 for a well-optioned paint-to-sample model, we found examples starting at around $345,000. This is a massive dip from when the car first went on sale in 2018.

Trump’s Golf Cost = $340 Million in four years.

What White House Jobs Pay
President (Donald Trump) — $400,000
Holding the nation’s highest office comes with some nice financial perks, the most obvious of which is a $400,000 annual salary. Along with that tidy sum, the president also gets a $50,000 expense allowance each year, a $100,000 travel account and $19,000 for entertainment, according to CNBC. Every president since 2001, when George W. Bush took office, has earned this amount.

Like his predecessor, Joe Biden, Vice President Mike Pence makes $230,700 every year. That number has been the same since 2010. Pence was due for a slight raise in 2019 that would’ve given him $243,500 a year but that bump was frozen in light of the government shutdown that was happening at the time. The veep has joked that he’s thrifty, despite his respectable paycheck, saying he buys his suits two for one.


Trump’s Golf Trips Could Cost Taxpayers Over $340 Million

Trump and Obama golf outings
So far Trump’s golf trips have cost at least $105 million

Trump’s trips to his golf courses are very expensive and much more than Obama’s since Trump’s have been more frequent and usually requires Air Force One and all the accompanying security arraignments


The GAO report estimated that just four of Trump’s trips to Mar-a-Lago cost:

  • $13.6 million
  • Do not “capture all of the total expenditures by the government”
  • Do not “include certain classified cost information”
  • $60,000 in expenses paid to Mar-a-Lago (there have been 24 so far)
  • Were not able to identify meals and incidental expenses, if any, that may have been incurred at the Mar-a-Lago club
