Default Are PTS GTs rare?
A fun video we made recently comparing rare Corvettes and rare Porsches. "Rare".

Entertaining video. Gonna dust off my GR GT2 and always point to this video as to why an already special car is just a tad more special. While not in the same company in terms of rarity, the PTS 991.1RS is still 'rather' limited. Not running out to trade for a Corvette of any generation anytime soon

Thanks for calling out all the BS with everything 991 onwards.

Truth of the matter is, a lot of owners have blown PTS completely out of proportion, and will be disappointed when reality settles.

I find it challenging to think that ANY 991 can claim "collector value" in time, outside of the R which itself is a stretch at 1k units made, and a close analog is readily available in the touring.

My "friend" listens/watches your show on a 65" TV and sometimes "his" wife walks in the room and is flabbergasted that my "friend" is watching a YouTube livestream about cars (blah blah blah)....

Doug good job on the video! I may have to revise my story at Cars and Coffee now. My car may not be rare at all.

There's no Porsche as rare as a Corvette Pace Car.

The only corvettes I know of in my friends' "collections"... are all pace cars.

I can't make this up if I wanted to...
