why so much talk about price
Granted new to this particular board but I have noticed more talk about pricing depreciation etc than other forums . Why not talk about driving experience, joys of being able to afford these cars and all the good technical things you find on many of the other forums. Sometimes the forums sound like the business reports on TV rather than an enthusiast forum. If you bought a Porsche as an investment rather than to drive it maybe you should post on CNBC

It is crazy no doubt
Because everyone(not everyone) wants to drive a "GT" cars for free or, minimal expenses, and then unload/flip it when it suits them with minimal to $0 loss.
Note to forum - these are depreciating assets. I look at whatever the car is worth is just a bonus because I pay in cash so money is gone.

I read a few other car forums, so I agree that price is discussed here far more often, even when compared to a Ferrari forum. My wild *** guess is that most GT cars are priced in a range that a lot of people can stretch to buy. If you are in the market for a Ferraris, McLarens or Lambos you either have lots of money or you don't. I imagine a lot more GT cars are financed vs other exotics where cash is used.

GT cars just happen to be 'relatively' affordable cars that retain their value much better than most toys...it's no surprise that people want to understand/discuss what that future value might be, regardless of their financial means.

Buy a 997 RS and join that forum. Less money talk over there That said, we have all spent 150-300K plus for a car. Where I come from you can buy a three bedroom house 5 acres and helluva nice garage! At the end of the day it's an awful lot of money for most of us. EVERYBODY is concerned about VALUE and resale, don't let anyone fool you. The difference is some drive and some don't.
