Historically, classic 911’s are considered collectible, and appreciate in value. And as of its 20th anniversary, Type 996 is now considered a classic 911. There is also inflation in general, and market volatility in particular.

Nothing to see here folks, except 996 prices “drifting up” now forever, like most everything else collectible; especially classic 911’s.

“Wowza!” Or whatever that means

Curious. I don't know what to think of this. Does it move on a track well or just stand out in a crowd positively or negatively? Tire rub? Yuck.

And then there's this Garage Queen with unique interior:

I think the SEMA car is hard to look at, just my personal opinion.

Fake ambers (12/98 late-build). Shame on PCar for not calling that out.

GC996

Whatever floats everyone's boat. The market will tell us if the Sema car is liked or not.

I saw this car in person at sema. The owner had a build thread and got most of the parts at a good discount. I would give this build a 7 out of 10. Just because it was in the show (actually it was outside in a paid for parking spot) doesnt mean its show quality.

Rated at "350hp" and "As I keep telling people the performance is likely comparable with a 996TT in terms of straight line speed"
I don't believe that's correct,
I don't see a 350hp V8 and a 415hp flat 6 performing the same.
Does it have potential? Yes!
I'd personally prefer it without the wide body and air bags suspension.

Shift **** and lever aren’t big enough.

SEMA build = works just well enough that it can be driven into the spot it's parked. Means nothing lol.

GC996

Same headlights that won LeMans.

Incorrect, the lights that someone keeps babbling on about actually came from the 1996 Euro Boxster, so if you really feel strongly about the GT1, you should be buying one of those, not a 996.

Pretty sure his comment was tongue in cheek.

RIP me 😓
