I think it goes, "when the lights go out, all women look the same."

I'd pick the 4.0 over Kate and pretend my wife is Kate in the dark! Oh, I do that anyway...

I want a 991 RS
but stick or not, go drive a 991gt3, it's a great car but a very different car.
it will not affect prices of 4,0

just like 997 996 gt prices have no bearing on 964/993 prices. they are different cars

reading magazine is waste of time other than great entertainment. it's like watching Dallas or dynasty. u know nothing before watching and know nothing after watching, but lost 60 min.

u have to drive it
talking about sleeping with upton is not the same as sleeping with upton and u will never know what it is like until u actually do it.

we can spend all day talking about it and get no where.
just a great post!!!

This specific car, sadly, had a roll cage previously. Now, having the roll cage is not what's sad, in fact, it's awesome... What's sad is that it was removed, and they left the holes. Not sure if the photos reflect that in their listing.

I'm sure they would be willing to negotiate $200 for the replacement part.

Certainly, it's a non-issue. It's just funny (and unfortunate) that they represent the car as "easy miles". I'm in no way commenting on garage queen vs. track rat.

A perspective ..... I have one (700 miles) and would not sell it if offered $400. This is last of a breed. To me one of the most significant Porsches ever produced.

You are disciplined. I think I put 700mi on mine the first month I had it.

You want to go faster, put slicks on your 3.8RS or shocks or both, hell a Sharky 4.1 will clean house with a stock 4.0.

Letting it sit as an investment = worthless.
I'd buy a building (did) but some already have more investments than they know what to do with.
If I did, I really could not let it just sit there. It would make me sad and depressed, losing the will to live with lots of zero's in the bank.

Driving the **** out of it and selling it with 7000+ track miles = priceless.
I could not afford priceless or slicks for that matter :-)

Good times, good times....See how I could not keep up with a cheater 3.8RS (GT3DE) cooking my 5 year old ToyoRA1 after lap 3 as usual.

Enjoy :-)
