One day we all will look back and say Dang I should have bought it at 210. Some of us already saying Dang I should have bought 1 a few years back. IMO these Touring most likely going to be the next 997 4.0 RS.

I've never been a touring guy myself; however, this is a really cool sleeper/stripper spec. Also, I've always thought the sofas were a fitting seat in a touring (makes me cry seeing them in a RS though).

That said, the price I paid a year ago for my car would probably be considered below market value now, whereas it was on the high end of fair market value a year ago.

Strong words, but I don't really agree if only because the Touring doesn't have a bespoke engine or mechanicals. I think the 4.0 RS is going for up to $800k. No way the Touring touches that. I do think it will continue to do well and hold value above and beyond any other car in the 991.2 generation shy of the GT2RS.

Agreed. No one knows where our **** will land if I take a dump at the beach today. But time will tell for sure. Each day passes by there will be less and less Touring and with Porsche going more and more electronics and more EV........ The 991 generation for sure will be the last analog.

I feel like every single non-FAL has been sold on BaT lately. Lots of gaslighting going on over there about the importance of this. If you use this car as a "real" car, 90% of people will need FAL. Not to mention there are a large swath of people for whom FAL is a dealbreaker, must have option. Makes no sense to have PCCBs and yet skip FAL, IMO.
And yet, these cars are selling for 50k+ above sticker. It's impressive.

On the GT cars, I need FAL. On the 992 Turbo S, I don't need FAL, but I put the car in Normal mode in order to move the front splitter up when I'm concerned about scraping.

My take on FAL: The functional importance probably depends on where you live and how you use the car. Maybe the majority of people really require it, but that's not my experience. I have a turbo S with FAL and have only used it two or three times in years and not sure I really even needed to. My RS has no FAL, which I like due to simplicity and less weight, but that's me. The car is mostly a weekend special for me - mountain drives and back roads in New England. Also, many track people prefer a car without FAL. When I think about this aspect of my RS, I like the fact that I don't have it and the car is lighter and more pure. It seems on Rennlist it's a big talking point for re-sale, but in the actual re-sale market, I don't think it's as important as Rennlisters make it out to be. Anyhow, I'm feeling good with no FAL :-) I think it's more RS, especially lightweight Weissach in nature.

It's definitely a need for me - I didn't have one on my Turbo S and I did fine, but my GT3 would get jacked up very quickly if I didn't have it.

I'm almost avoiding driving a 992 GT3 because I don't want to have an FOMO about it - I'm intrigued by the double wishbone and mythical "turn in" that is practically becoming a meme with that car. Otherwise, there is nothing else about it that draws me in.

Turbo ride height is higher than RS I’m guessing

Similarly, if M or AMG offered a car with perfect rear traction, I'd have no interest. You're talking about taking away the fundamental handling balance of the car.

To the extent you do have to still drive the 991.2 gen like a 911 when pushing it, accounting for and keeping weight over the front axle, not an experiential downside to me. It's something to learn and perfect. If you remove that variable, then you'd have a car that basically sticks without fail front & rear.

What I like about the GT3 (compared to the 992TTS that it replaced) is that it has that traditional 911 feel.

Wouldn't say it's a zero sum situation between performance engineering advancement and character, but at some point as you evolve toward perfect performance you lose engagement, imo. You can only be wowed by performance for performance's sake for so long. In the case of my Tesla's acceleration, for example, that lasted for like 2 days. Not to say the 992's front end is like Tesla acceleration, but I've never been on board with the idea that the 991.2 front axle was some great flaw that needed to be engineered away, made more perfect. Especially if we're talking about street use.

Anyone know anything about this Maritime GT3 in Cali? Apparently was owned by a collector, but since it was modified (roll cage, suspension, but not sure exactly what) they won't CPO it.
