"What do they do with those cars "after"? Anyone know?"
As I understand it they are bid out to Dealers who then CPO them before being offered for sale.
Enjoyed the experience as it allowed me to try the 991.2C versus my .1GTS both MT. I will be back to try the GT4 in a couple of months as it answers many questions.

Going there in two weeks (son looking at colleges). I signed up for the 90 minute driving session (991.2S) and think it will be fun. Have never done any track events, so a good introduction. Thought about the Turbo vs GT3 drive, but then I would want to upgrade. . . .

I would agree that the value of the driving depends on experience, and maybe best suited to an "intermediate" driver. A novice (like my wife) could be intimidated by the lack of runoff on the track (much of it has guard rails right at the pavement edge). An expert may be underwhelmed, and looking for more after a few laps.

Porsche West Broward had a CPO 2016 GTS with about 7500 miles that I was interested in. Turns out all the mileage was put on at the "Porsche factory in Atlanta" which I'm assuming is the PEC. I told the sales associate that I'd be willing to consider it at a steep discount given its history, but he wasn't willing to budge.

The main instructor/manager stated that they sell them to dealers.
He stated that he tries to spec these cars predicting demand so he can sell them later
also this entity has its own budget , so he is responsible for loss/gain etc

I bought a '16 C2S cpo and was told by sales manager that it came from corporate hq in Atlanta. I've done the experience before so was slightly hesitant, but it only had 1,000 miles on it because I think it's tenure was cut short by the 991.2's showing up there. It is in perfect condition, had all the options I wanted and in addition to the 6 years of warranty I was able to get it for $20k off (msrp $124). They have the cars wrapped in clear bra as well, so another expense sparred that was added to the pro's column. Only downside to that is they do the headlights and I know there's an ongoing debate about headlights delaminating. Figure I won't be removing that to avoid any issues.

Any time behind the wheel of Porsche is worth it! A couple of the guys I track with have completed all the Sport driving school classes at Barber and some have spent a day at PEC. Apples and Oranges, like a track day and autocross. Both fun, but different.
