Looks way less poser than adding AWD and a widebody for no reason.

Yup 1963 were supposed to be produced and while our registry has a great record of many cars + owners, not all are accounted for. Even if 1963 were really produced, 800 of that were meant for United States, which you could argue makes it even more rare. Not sure if it's in the ECU tuning but having spent considerable amount of time in a stock C4S the 40AE throttle seems more responsive to me.

Btw, the 0000 car that was used by Porsche as a showcase is for sale in Germany - https://www.kickdown.com/de/postings...dNxLYkn7U4JLxE

Nice example and kudos to seller for posting a photo of the damage - seems minor. I've said this before...keep the dumb luggage that nobody uses and give me sport seats.

Everywhere I go people ask why my turbo is missing the side vents

A little tedious but a good analysis of 996 pricing trends

Seems to be a disproportionate number of 40AE cars sold recently compared to how many are in existence.

Short version: look at the rocket trajectory on the splash page

All the best 911's gravitate to BaT now. Yeah since bought by Conde Naste they mix in a lot of mediocre stuff now, to pump profits, but every few weeks a "great one" still appears. There's a zero-nannies early-build in ambers on BaT right now. Will set records

Consistant with the others. I think the new standard is $45 ish for 30k mile 1999

So, is the non aero car worth more or less or all individual taste?

Say all you want but regular 996 carreras are just not that attractive lol. The C4S was made to help the ugly 996 Carrera out. Also are you saying AWD doesn’t do anything for the car?

Aero always worth more, no?

996.1 and 996.2 are totally different cars.
