Marantz2270 - Even when the 992 GT3 becomes available, I do not foresee the prices of the 991.2 GT3s dropping significantly. The Touring has been and will remain the most desirable of the 991.2 GT3s on the resale market. I think a lightly used, well-spec'd Touring will remain around sticker for the foreseeable future. For me, the performance gains (whatever they might be) in the 992 are not worth it for me to upgrade. I will never, ever push my Touring to its limits. Also, the exterior and interior of the 992 Carrera (on which the Touring will be based) does nothing for me. I don't like the squared off hood, the awkward rear, the side view mirrors, the door handles, the overly digital interior, etc. The 991.2 GT3 has, for me, the perfect balance of analog and digital in the interior and it preserves the classic lines of 911s of yesteryear. Good luck in your search for a Touring!
And you are right on about the balance of analog and digital that the GT3T was able to achieve. It is, perhaps, the classiest modern Porsche I have seen in the flesh.
Additionally, thank you for your good luck wishes in my search! I hope to join the Touring club sooner rather than later!

With speculators/flippers speckled throughout the Porsche universe, I can totally understand the annoyance at value threads. That said: Is there a way to ask what folks think the market for these cars will/will not do in the coming months and years without coming off as fixated on dollars instead of driving?!

Thank you for providing your thoughts and insight! I agree with you, this car will certainly remain the most desirable of the 911.2 GT3s. People rightfully adore them.
And you are right on about the balance of analog and digital that the GT3T was able to achieve. It is, perhaps, the classiest modern Porsche I have seen in the flesh.

I don't think the 992.1 GT3T will be anywhere near as desirable as the 991.2 GT3T as the 992.1 GT3T will look far worse with the ugly rear and overly digital interior
If I had my heart set on a buying a new custom ordered GT3T to own for a long time, I would definitely skip the 992.1 GT3T and look toward the 992.2 GT3T, which might get a 4.2L engine, and hopefully the mid cycle refresh will tone down the rear styling.

That is what people used to say said about the 964 bumpers (or enter any other historical 911 gripe here) and yet we will all fall in love again.
Remember that Queen song?
"Get on your bikes and ride
Ooh yeah, oh yeah, them fat bottomed girls
Fat bottomed girls
Yeah yeah yeah
Alright, ride 'em, c'mon
Fat bottomed girls, yes yes"
Hahaha
