Whether one tracks or not is of little consequence. (But it is rather torturous to forgo even a little track work.)
NA is a huge factor for many ppl, perhaps wan't as big an issue with 997's and early 991's but now is the only way to go within the 911 range if you want a high-revving NA motor....

9k revs never get old regardless of being on track or street

Or like in in my case because I lost the interest in doing track days, (I do maybe one or 2 DE) and I enjoy driving the car when I can and in the twists of WA state, Oregon, Idaho and CA.

Check the underbody most tracked cars will have track scars.

What cracks me up is "never driven in the rain". Makes me wonder if that means I will have a deluge of depreciation once I drive it in the rain for the first time .

Same here. I find events like the Smokies more entertaining. However, I did have a lot of fun participating in DEs and Club Races in the past.

on my 2nd, never taken either to a track which doesn't take away from them being great daily drivers

Turbo S is good on the track, but so is a GTS and Cayman, etc. Go to PSDS and track their cars

Image in So Cal. You got to have the newest PTS GT car in your collection to go with your newest Mac and Lambo or you ain't sh*t. Turbos are ubiquitous. Game recognize Game
