Addition of 964RS for me!

Mark in Canada they are in the $170K range, depending on model, miles etc. We've had a few sell here fast in Vancouver.

I think I would be very happy with a C2S with a split grille, a C4S with aerokit and a nice C2 with an RS tail, splitters and wheels. What about you?
If I stayed in the P car world only.
I'd keep the 4S that I have
And
Buy this 997.1 GT3 RS.

I'd spend the balance on tyres...............

NA cars are more interesting to me than turbos

I'd keep my current collection, but restore and/or improve them with appropriate mods. The only car I'd replace would be my daily driver (a '93 Lexus LS400) with something else...likely an Acura NSX. Pocket or invest the rest.

With any luck of a few things and some wishing stars, that may happen Mark!

Depends on garage space.

One car: GT3 4.0L

Two cars: 997.2RS and 993 turbo.

Three cars: 997.1RS, 964RS and a 993 Carrera S.

1/2 a Singer or 2/3 of a Speedster A nice '54-56 356 Outlaw would do. A 9M engine upgrade would be a lot of fun too.

Hmm, I've had plenty of Porsches over the years, 3 at once at the most. I learned over time that the most enjoyment I have is just 1 at a time. If I were to add 1 more to my current 993 C2S (keeper) it would probably be something "modern" like a Boxster. Traditional air-cooled coupe and water cooled roadster.

$200k, hmmm. That's probably enough to get a 993 cup car and start racing it. those spares get expensive.
