yup 993 C4S, C2S ... very reminiscent ... still it seems like a nice car, if I were looking at a 911 I would certainly be looking at this ... makes you wonder what they will do with the 991 ...

On that note, if the Metzger block is finally put to bed, current GT cars and end-of-run "special editions" like the Sport Classic and GTS could hold their value much like the widebody and turbo 993s have over time. A 993 C2S is currently worth at least 50% more than a regular Carrera due to its short and small production run. And a 993 C2S is different from a regular Carrera in that it has wider fenders, partially textured dash and branded tach.

Sports Classic aside, don't forget about the Three-Off American Express model that is coming out. Talking about ultra rare, they could off at least put a more powerful engine in them!

If the wing isn't also a an air brake, I don't want the car. How can I drive flat out if I don't have an air brake?

I suppose some GT3 drivers might downgrade ...
You are right. This has narrowed the gap a bit to the GT3...I said a bit...ha ha ha.
