I’ve heard 91’ was a bad year). The performance specs on that turbo are very similar to the 992.1 Carrera T which we’ll call a $135,000 car in today’s dollars.

Based on the Fed’s inflation calculator and performance per dollar, today’s 911s are cheap compared to the cars of the 90s. We really shouldn’t be complaining at all with current pricing.

Remember that many modern cars are electric or hybrid, aren’t sports cars, are much heavier, have automatic transmissions, etc.

Yes there were multiple turbo cars just sitting there in the showroom. Trying to fit in the back seats was a challenge. The cars were new and untitled with orig Monroney's. So doubt any ADM existed at that point.
