I don't have the dry powder for 7.2 right now. I'm looking at a gated Ferrari 355 GTB as my next purchase. But I'll keep that in mind
No worries, I just didn't think it was a funny opinion. What would be a funny opinion is saying that the 992.1 GT3RS will be worth more than the S/T, that I would laugh out loud at opinion. Honestly the only reason why I would be open to selling it would be it would free up funds to buy a CGT, I always want to be upgrading like I did from the PTS 997 GT3RS to the 4L although I wish I could have kept that PTS car.

I was having a laugh (not maliciously) at the guy predicting the future value being highest for the car he owns while the 2 he doesn't own will be lower. I couldn't care less what they're worth long term. Keeping them both.

For what it's worth, I have a model car of each car I want to own in the future sitting in my office. One of them is a black 7.2 4l. I love the car and want to own one some day
Show me where I said "anyone in here". People on RL (for the most part) aren't the ones I'm referring to. With Porsche becoming more like Ferrari seems like more people than ever being drawn by brand image and perceived scarcity that enthusiasts who are into the history and understand the significance of cars like the 4.0. Those aren't likely the value the 4.0 the same as something recent and the "it" car like the ST. They can all be great, but depending on a host of factors certain models just won't appeal to the same audience.

Unfortunately with the Instagram culture, the new shiny toys will always get the most attention and want. However, once Porsche releases the next generation 991R/ST numbered car the 992 ST will be put in the corner and that's where it'll settle out in price below 991R and 997 4L pricing.

I dont believe the bulk majority of ST buyers even frequent IG. Hate to say it, but the ST is just a 911 to most the car masses.

The 3RS is what will get the likes, not the ST. Hints the reason the user tag 911st is only at less than 1k followers and gt3rs.only and many others are 100k plus.

The fact I even pay attention to **** like this is sad now think about it. It's a good distraction while talking with insurance companies.

Not to make this interesting but...I've got a 15k mile fully serviced silver CGT that I was debating selling for a black 4.0...so...maybe worth a talk lol.

Great minds think alike , that’s what I chose along with
the heritage interior . I might do the PPF in a matte finish .

St nerd question…. does anyone know if there a material difference in weight between heritage and black interiors?

The leather door pull and leather handle will be heavier, but this is likely super marginal (lol)

But what about the perforated roof liner or carpeting or other heritage bits?
Lightweight carpeting on standard car is a 4.4 pound reduction and if the roof lining is double layered I could see that being a surprising weight penalty.)

Thanks

I’m interested too… but I’m also trying to lose 15% of my body weight to make my car an S/T Lightweight.
