Neither, they are both just low volume production models that you can easily find on the used car market. It is a small population of buyers that want and can afford one.

Sad but true.
What are the production numbers for the 996 vs. 997 versions?

NA got like 1100 GT3 for 04/05
and it appears the 997 GT3 is looking at ~600 07 and ~100 08s
with 299 RS' and 60is 08 RS for NA

Just under 1,000 units for the 2004 & 2005 North America Specification 996 GT3.

Lots of people can afford it. Especially in a key market like CA.

I think Porsche deliberately softened it up a bit to make it desirable to a larger group of people.

The acid test for desirability is resale value, imo, so we'll know in a year or two...
