Prices will come down a bit. Not much,but just enough so that us hard working people will be able to afford them. Mooty told me in secrecy...ups. 
This is especially true once Volkswagen 991GTS(3) and Rabbit S start roaming the streets. These 2 will become the cars of " the people " used in daily commuting around the Globe. 
And HERE HERE
for Andreas Preuninger for the past cars he created! I wonder what he's up to these days...I believe he's not in charge of the now famous communications department( " Flappy paddles are for grandmas"-FAIL, " Shut up and drive! "-FAIL).
There's actually a rumor going around that VW had him go back in time using their newly invented time machine and completely changed his statements on camera. Doing a search on YouTube verifies this rumor. He now states : " Flappy paddles are groundbreaking " and " Shut up,it will take a while "

I wonder what ever happened to these cars? Can't remember the Rennlister's name, but he bought one of each back in 2007 and put them away in a warehouse. I thought that was cool and must have saved the pic on my hardrive 6 years ago where I just uncovered it. I'd say that now is the time to sell, but given that these cars are basically new so the longer the old the more they are worth I suppose!

Not sure how many years it would take to surpass their MRSP price?

997 gt3rs
Amazing comments. I could have written those myself. I also have the 997.1 orange gt3rs and cant believe how they simply "got it right". Looking now at the 991 and the unstoppable quest for technology based perfection, one wonders, why?
It is simple marketing to sell more cars and to reach the impossible 0-100 numbers.the 997.1 gt3rs will stand as the last car porsche built in manual, without a big entertainment/nav screen cluttering an otherwise bare bones dash. I love the simplicity, perfection and precision and the hard edged brute force of the car. I also will simply not sell this beauty. It is the only porsche which I get asked regularly to "please sell it to me" even by the local porsche dealer

I drove my RS for the first time today since Sebring Winterfest January 2014.
Number decals still on the windows...
It started right up, no smoke, and this time no oil leak during winter hibernation?! Yay!
I drove the car around the neighbourhood and later to pick up a Pizza. I was in 911 heaven during the commute
The car really delivers the goods as a track toy and street car. With a simple exhaust and a track focused suspension it feels like a highly tuned hot rod 911. Really it is just a stock motor car with GT2 seats and OEM roll bar. But man, it is just so damn cool to drive! The GT3 motor sings and it makes for a great power band delivery unmatched in the Carreras or GTS models.
I own a couple of 993's and although they are really fun and true to the 911, they lack the bad *** personality of the GT3. The air cooled boys really have to experience the GT3.
People are paying big bucks nowadays for backdates, 964 RSA's, air cooled turbos and 1965-1973 911s.
I think the GT3 is now amongst these legendary Porsches and people are realizing it.
Prices are going crazy but in retrospect, when compared to the "vintage" $100k+ air cooled turbos and air cooled RS models the late model 997.1 and 997.2 GT3s should be considered bargins are their current prices. They require no restoration, no real tuning or major work. Just gas.
The experience offered in a 997 series GT3 is as good as any other high end collector 911 to date IMO.
With No rattles, no squeaks.
I have owned a 997RS since 2009 and even now i am beginning to have awhole new found appreciation for what the car is. It is that good. I never took it for granted before, but now Im realizing I have something really special here that will go down in the history books as being part of a legendary 911 era.
I found myself looking for long nose 911s, 964s and 993 when really everything I could ever want is in a GT3.... I should be looking for more GT3s
I could honestly sell every car I have in my collection (muscle cars, hot rods etc) and be happy with just one GT3.
Prices are not going to get any better any time soon folks....
Now, Gimmie a green 997.1RS to go with my Orange RS and im done.
