But I thought most folks angry with this market and dealers and flippers and owners etc,... were just angry cause they don't/can't have one..

I'd be curious how many folks out there that are furious about pricing are owners of 991 gt cars?
I can't imagine too many owners being so bent out of shape about … heck.. anything really :-)
Not a fan of ADM for anything or hoops you have to jump through to buy a GT car. From dealers reneging to trying to throw surprises at you last minute... you name it. Unchecked capitalism and greed at their finest

I'm sick of those who say "I pay cash so I don't care about the value of my car"
I call BS
I pay cash when I go out to dinner, I still care how it tastes
value threads are common because people want to know if they got a good deal or not
Ferrari-chat doesn't have value threads because Ferrari owners don't drive their cars
There's one person I know who doesn't care about the value of cars...his name is Floyd Mayweather
Unless you're doing it like The Champ "Floyd TMT", you low-key care about the value of your GT car...stop pretending/faking!
Just because I would rather drive my GT3 than TALK about it's value...that does not mean I don't care what it is worth

Because I bought the car for investment, not for driving or experience

Admins, can we make a sub forum to discuss prices, value, and depreciation?

I agree with the OP.

I want to be " that guy " who's owned his Porsche for over 25 yrs ...that was given to him by his Dad , who was the original owner. I've always admired folks like that, so much history and love for their car.

Really? That's the key to turning quick lap times in a GT car, PDK? A lot of people must be doing it wrong.
