The Gembella GTR 600 "kit" moves the 996 Turbo's intercoolers from the bumper to the top of the engine under the deck lid.
I couldn't find a pic of a 996, but the 997 setup is near identical.

Here's hoping the 996tt starts pushing 6 figures, though I think it will be a slow ascension... Said article states that new turbos are going for $150k, which I think is a bit low. New 991tts I believe are almost hitting $200k!

Here is an article that came out today. Predicting 5 cars that may see 6 digits in '17.

Highest price I have seen at auction for a pristine 996T was in May 2016 at Silverstone (Europe) was $97,000 USD (it was a Cab btw). This weekend at Mecum should be interesting

Imagine that.

Figures
Since the original place I found the article (nesn) did not show the author's name, I hadn't really given it much thought. Just thought it was a fun little article anyway. Looks like it was written by someone named Andy Reid. Assuming it's the same person, he seems to spend a lot of time around car auction/market and writing related articles. Again, if the same person... he apparently is the ClassicCars.com East Coast editor. https://news.classiccars.com/?s=andy+reid

Good point! The pricing is all over the place still with the high end almost $100k in europe, $78k in us, and the low end in the low 30's. Seems like the days of clean/well documented/stock(or at least easily reversible to stock)/clean title cars in the low 30's are behind us though for the most part. It's a moot point for me since I love mine too much to sell anyway Fun to see how the market seems to be headed and that these cars are finally getting a little respect!
