Default Seinfeld Repurchases his GT3 RS 4.0
Less than a year ago he sold it for $510k. He just bought it back for $665k.

https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/m...3-rs-40/779917

He mentioned he didn't like the direction the 992 is taking Porsche and that the 997.2 GT3 RS 4.0 was really a high point. He also mentioned that money means nothing to him.

Take a ride in Comedians in cars getting coffee and write it off.

Not sure why he sold it considering what he thinned his collection down to.

"He mentioned he didn't like the direction the 992 is taking Porsche and that the 997.2 GT3 RS 4.0 was really a high point"

I have been thinking about this lately regarding all 997 versions. The 991 and 992 are much larger cars now and it seems the 997 has the best proportions and is aging nicely. Also, much smaller GT car build numbers compared to today's GT cars.

Proves my theory that 997 is "where it's at"
