It looks great to my eyes. I love my 997.2 for the value it offers, at the price point for a GTS. I own a 997, because of the value in the 997.2 vs a new 991. I think they both are great cars. Rare for any car to become a collectors item. It is possible that neither the 997 nor the 991 will be collectors cars. I get that the 997 is more raw, and the steering is different. Thats cool. But the 991 is a very capable sports car.
