Certain Variants of 997.1 and 997.2 will hold residual better than others if you want to get that exact.
Targa's , Targa 4S, 4S, Cab's, its supply and demand as well.
I think it would be hard to use historical fact with Porsche if your going back to the 996. Even though initial sales were huge, the design change of the 05 997 wrecked values of the 996 just from a looks stand point. Engines were basically the same.
I don't think you can use 993's and 964's due to the production numbers being so low, and farther you go back the car pretty much kept the same design and low production figures.

Personally I love the way the car looks in green ever since I saw this photo, but it's impossible to find.

Not really sure what to buy anymore, the 997.2 base does seem like a good deal compared to the 997.1s. Are these cars really comparable in a 6 speed though. Unfortunately I do not like the PDK, it is cool, but manual is just so much more fun, at least for me. I guess I'm just old school??
as most people will tell you, by the latest (newest) car you can afford

These are the quickest 0-60 times that I have found for the .2 Base PDK and .1 S 6 spd:
Car and Driver: 997.2 Base PDK 0-60 in 4.1 secs

Road and Track: 997.1 S 6 spd 0-60 in 4.1 secs
http://www.roadandtrack.com/tests/co..._gt3_rs_page_4
Road and Track: 997.1 S 6 spd 0-60 in 3.9 secs
http://www.roadandtrack.com/content/...s-Car_spec.pdf
Given the data points above, I'd expect a .1 S 6 spd to still beat a .2 base 6 spd. But the .2 base PDK is very similar to the .1 S 6 spd according to published magazine test results.

R&T and Car&Driver always seem to have quicker 0-60 times than the European Magazines. Some have said that you have to be extremely brutal on the car to get that kind of 0-60 time.
IIRC The American magazines had my 03 996 TT X50 0-60 at 3.9 and that was 450HP..
