+1

Unless one has biblical money you will run out of space or time or money. Best to keep the 3-5 best than end up 12-15 deep and have cars falling apart.

Great buy, the white 4.0. Can't see anyone losing money at these levels.

Everyone in the room was bidding on Ferraris and somehow the 918 went for 1.8+ with buyers premium.

The RS cars (964/993) were accident damage cars. Turds.
How much are you pricing the white car with CPO?

I agree with 3-4 cars not counting DD. I have 5 now and its a struggle to find space and time.
Problem is that I like them all.

The 4.0 is not going anywhere and its a radio delete. CJ.😉😉

Same with me. Mine also has no lift and Halogen lights. I originally ordered it without AC also, but changed it oce I came to my sense's

After selling my 3.8 RS recently and now driving the 4.0 more, it's like I am getting to know it all over again. Because the 4.0 was on the lift above the 3.8, I mostly drove the 3.8.

Anyone who thinks a 3.8 is close to a 4.0 in performance and experience is kidding themselves.

Empirically I learned a long time ago that once you get over 8, it is cheaper to hire a full time and dedicated tech.

The 3.8 is a great car. But the 4.0 just has it bested in every area but price. I have voted with my wallet to buy the 4.0 over and over because i just love them.

It's easy to think otherwise because the cars look so similar on the surface. But it's a greater difference than most would think.

called & spoke to a sales guy. I asked him if it was a 3.8 or 4.0 & told me it was a 4.0 & was 700K. Never asked for price or miles or color.

I do and i have a 4.0 - it's a little better everywhere than the 3.8 but the mechanical differences are absolutely not night and day as being suggested. The cars are really close especially on track. One is mainly paying an awfully large amount for the XXX/600 plaque.
