I’m with you on that and I’d probably go one further back and get a Chal Strad. It’s the start of the run and super cool in it’s own right. All of these cars overpower the road. Only way for it to be a “keeper” is if it adds some sort of extra spice - nostalgia for example. Tracking these cars does nothing for me - so much better to just have a purpose built race car of which there are a number of good options at various price points now.
It didn't/hasn't been quite the experience I had built up in my mind. Still a pretty epic car but does fall short of what i built up in my head. That said, it will always have a special place in history. That also being said, I'd take a Scud over a Speciale and that is BEFORE the extra 100k in your pocket after.
italian redhead should be curvaceous, if I wanted grace Jone scud... I would have bought G wagon ha

If keeper means "holds its value" then the GT2 of ANY generation is a winner. Look at the used prices of 997 GT2 even. Big bucks! I think Porsche makes fewer of the GT2 than any other car they make.

997 2rs went well under MSRP before they went over. And 997 2rs GLOBAL production was less than half of 991 2rs delivered to NAmer alone. It's just not a comparable car (good or bad). Oh, and it's the last manual mezger turbo ever to roll off the line.

No 991 Porsche GT will sell for at or over MSRP unless it is a numbered production car like the R and/or Speedster. Every other 991 GT was produced in too high of number to be a car to be a collectible that will see for over MSRP. Heck, they produced 50% more Rs than they did 997 4.0s and I believe that they built 2-3x as many 991 GT3/RSs as they did 997 GT3/RSs. The 997 GT3/RS cars will maintain their values a lot better than 991 GT3/RSs.

Additionally, people didn't buy in the pre-991 era to bubble wrap GT cars. They bought them to track or at LEAST actually drive them (with very few exceptions). You will have your pick of a plethora of copies of uber-low mileage examples from the 991 era for years to come (that doesn't just apply to Porsche).

This is what I recently did.

Yup, Porsche kept building and building and building. Hell, the dealers with their games showed them that all of the cars were selling so Porsche kept pumping them out. I'd love for the stealers that played hide the allocation/spec their own cars game to sell their delivery mile cars below MSRP.
