With the disappointment of the 992.2 - what other cars are you considering?

Wow those MC20 prices have really tanked.
Nothing wrong with a Z06, except its very uncomfortable. Getting in and out, that high center button panel, very confining interior. GM took a mid engine car and designed a front engine cabin for it, it has zero design elements that allow the cockpit to be opened up, which are possible when the engine and drivetrain are behind the driver. Hopefully the C9 will fix that, the C8 interior is a mess.

The MC20s and Grecales, I don't there's enough data out to extrapolate any generalizations from.

Interesting - the MC20's have seen a big drop off since introduction. I certainly wonder why Maserati and other brands like Aston seem to have pretty big depreciation curves. Whereas the Porsche GTS whether a .1 or a .2 (MSRP will be the best one can do, maybe even ADMs) seem to hold their values pretty well.

So, this would imply a lot more people who by a new Aston or Maserati did so by trading in their 911 and not an older Aston or Maserati? Not sure that is a good thing for the 911 reputation.

You can bet that the best way to get a good deal at an Aston or Maserati dealer is to drive up in a 911. They want those customers, bad.

My son got a Z06 that he picked up in Arizona last week. $117k msrp and no ADM. We put 500 break in miles on it in two days on southern Arizona roads. I am thoroughly impressed. Normally aspirated 670hp flat plane crank. An epic car.

I disagree. Maybe this puts me in the minority around here but I don't have to have a sports car to enjoy life. I can come up with lots of other fun stuff to blow my money on. If I don't see something that appeals to me for what I consider to be a reasonable amount of money then that's fine, and I'm not going to blindlessly throw money at Porsche to fill a void in my life. I bought the 992 because it appealed to me. With the direction that Porsche is heading in, I'm not sure I'll feel the same about future iterations.
