I’m sure it will. The 991 weighs less than the 997. The 992 will weigh less than the 991.

its interesting, everyone sees it differently.

i think the 991 looks much better than any of the 997 cars. Sleeker and still a small car.

but that’s just how I see it

I definitely see the merits of both the 991 and 997 and it also depends upon how long one has been around and owned Porsches. If new to Porsche, the new 911 is your yard stick and the older 911s will appears just that . . . old. If you have been in and around 911s for 20 or 30 years, the new are actually a bit awkward and large appearing.

I like my 991.2 Turbo as it has a great look. That said, long term the NA 997.2 will be a much more demanded and valuable as will be the 997.2 turbo. Prices have already began going up on the NA 997.2 to the point of being dang near ridiculous. I am trying to pick up a 997.2 GTS aero kit (white or black) in great condition to put back as the writing is on the wall.
