The 4.0 NA flat six and PDK-S are truly incredible, but $150k plus for a glorified NA 911 and we all trip over ourselves to buy them and fight over ADM’s, flipping, etc. Really??
Think about it, what if Ford or GM or heck, even BMW, MB, would throw $10-15k of hard cost into an NA Ford Voodoo engine, GM smallblock, BMW straight six, or an MB 4.0 NA V8 and make more than 125 hp/ltr and rev it up. It’s all easily doable for probably way less than 10-15k/car more including a fancy transmission.
Yet, we all think Porshe is magical and can do things no other manufacturer can do and we are all willing to pay 2-3 times as much happily for the privilege.
i think the new mid-engine Vette is going to definitely affect long term prices of other sports cars in the $100-200k category. That said, people continue to buy fancy watches even though they keep worse time than any Casio, Seiko, or Apple Watch, etc.

CJ was faster than McDreamy in 919 but Porsche made sure no times slipped out for the Doc.

Also - Rolexes tell time like crap. My Wife gave me one as a wedding gift 13 years agao and that is the only reason I wear one. The only benefit it is the very few things in my life that actually appreciates
