Same is true for the 997.1 3RS in terms of pumpkins were the most produced but they get a premium over the silver/black 997.1 3RS's.
That’s interesting that the pumpkin ones pull a premium!

I agree, the slate metallic is very striking. Have fun and enjoy.

And im going to crash the party and ruin it with Cobalt.

@shrp Cant wait to see it in person, I think what I'm seeing on my Mac has too much brown in it, where as it'll be more "slatey' in person.....

@pcar1 and @shrp Lets go for a coastal cruise soon if we can.....Or, wait till fall when the weather is perfect and the crowds r down....

Cheers, M

oops, forgot this was the for sale section lol, thought it was doug's thread

More feedback in the steering and chassis, the gearbox is way more mechanical, and the mezger really rumbles the whole car, which I love. Surprisingly quiet under light driving. The brake feel is quite different than the heroic/unflappable PCCBs on the GT4 but I am confident I'll come to appreciate the more progressive steel feel on the 997.1 as well.






Congrats, great color!

I love the "taco" wings on the 997.1 cars.

Love it - let's try to organize over on the SF Bay thread ... I realize I derailed from the f/s focus of this thread

Yes, but if you took that money any put it into anything tangible you're in fine shape. It's not like these cars are outpacing inflation. I'd say they are close to stable. My GT3 would still cost about 1/3 of what an average home costs in my area. When I bought the car in 2018 the same was true.
