Thanks!
Yeah, 951s are great cars. Very balanced. Mine is about as far from stock as it gets. It is still street legal and will stay that way, but is primarily set up for the track. It has Vitesse Stage III, MAF, Wasted Spark, Piggyback, Milledge cam, LSD, coilovers, big sway bars, 993 Turbo S big reds, Joe Toth front splitter, strut brace, replica 968 Club Sport seats (Recaro Pole Positions), 5 pt harness, harness bar, and ton of other upgrades. It needs a little work, but its getting there. Mostly, I need to fix an electrical issue and possibly go standalone, paint and install the Euro rear bumper and custom fiberglass front bumper with molded brake ducts. I'd like to install a cage at some point too. Here are couple of pictures:
Hopefully that isn't too off topic. 951 prices are going up too and its got a 996 steering wheel!

Very nice! The 944 was the first Porsche that caught my eye as a teenager. Still does!

If the arctic silver over black does 51k that zanzibar with the PSE has gotta pull 60.

I’d take silver over most other colors. First, it’s a great color and second, with the 4s it really shows the features well.
Don’t get the rare color fascination.

Nothin wrong with silver at all, especially on a Porsche. but as the most common color it doesn't usually command a premium at auction.
It was a very clean car just wasn't expecting it to teach $50k with the mileage. the Zanzibar red car also has painted seatbacks and switchable exhaust and not too many more miles. I expect it could do higher.

Me neither. The fascination is nothing more than it being rare. A case of "you can't have what I have". It's an artificial inflation. Silver is the best color on a C4S IMO. Shows off the lines and the tail lens better than any other color.

Curious where most of you would peg Meridian Metallic on the value spectrum? Technically an offshoot of silver I think and more rare than Arctic.
#5200
It is given three out of five paint cans on rennbow.org.

Admittedly there are some "rare" colors that do nothing, like pastel yellow. Speed yellow on the other hand. But I'd never buy a yellow car! Go figure.

Goes back to the age old question of whether you like blondes, brunettes or red heads. We all have different preferences. If not, we would all be married to the same person. Wouldn't that be a hoot.

$50k for any decent, well maintained 996 4s manual coupe will soon become the norm IMO. I certainly wouldn’t let mine go for $50k….wake me up when they approach $100k in 5 years and then we can talk.
