Look at the 993 GT2 - selling for well over twice what they were new fifteen years ago and have only ever gone up in price.

 

It's a lovely thought isn't it: a whole year in a 997 Gt2RS for free.

Reckon you would have to take some brave pills in the short term though: 997 GT2's have already lost around 35% in 2 years, with a production run of less than 2000. Still, those two magic RS letters still seem to sprinkle the gold dust onto whatever they are bolted on, whether it's on a Porker or a Sierra.

Would be a shame too if they were bought just for speculation rather than the intended purpose: pure driving. Sadly, a lot are.

PS Beautiful car Trouty Glad to hear that it will be used, and not polished.

 

I am definitely not good at the polishing thing

 

The guy who bought the first customer GT2 RS was running in a VMAX competition literally the day after he got it. He had to run it in for 200 miles and then compete

 

There was a 993 GT2 for sale at Oulton at the weekend.

Yours for only £245,000.
At the moment there's also a yellow 993 turbo s for sale for £114,000.

5 years ago that GT2 was probably about £80k.

 

You can't buy them anymore.

Demand outstrips supply = Second hand values soar.

They might fall a little once Porsche start building the GT3 RS 4.0.

 

Good on him!

I can just invisage him cruising up the motorway at 70, up and down the 'box, left foot dabbing the brakes to bed the pads in!

 

Lovely car Trout... very envious.

 

that is one hell of a sexy motor and i love your choice of colour too, what mpg score does it get?

 

If I decided to "invest" in one, something awful would happen (e.g. some safety scare or something) and prices would plummet. I can do the same "trick" with weather and surf abroad too - want cr4p surf in Oz for five weeks? Ask me to visit. Want snow in the middle of SUMMER in NZ? Again ask me.

 

Mattee - please stop looking at this thread

 

Stunning motor mate, I'm incredibly jealous - I'd have this and the 993 GT2 sat in my garage

 

Nice motor, Trout.

 

It's doing about 20mpg at the moment. Brisk, not insane driving. My last GT3 did 21.9mpg over the time I had it. They are very efficient cars for the power.

 

Like Troutys worried about mpg

 

I like to think about the environment

 

Can you take your surf board to the French alps please.

Thanks

 

I'm on the next flight...

 

And stay right away from Menorca at the end of August, please.

 

And stay away from Mallorca in May and Alaska in August.

 

And Blackpool in April .









Im joking !!

 

Okay, whilst we're at it -

Cyprus from 6th April and Camp Bestival in July.

Thanks

 

Will try my best...!

 

is it as good as my dreams suggest ?????


luv it !

 

It is not as raw as the 996 GT3 and so in some ways loses out there.

But in other ways it more than makes up for it - one of the greatest chassis's I have ever driven. No, the greatest chassis. It is brilliant. Covers the ground so easily - I cannot wait to get it on track.

 

Haven't posted here for a while but following your advice on PH to lighten up, I thought of no better place to do so.

Stunning car - enjoy!

I loved my 997t, albeit a different breed.

Steve.

 

LOL

 

Awesome car, it was a privilige to sit in the passenger seat for a 20 mile blatt around the local B and C roads. True weapon! Look forward to a track day

 

The spit and polish man came around today to do paint protection. It is almost glowing in the dark - will get some pics up tomorrow
