Not sure I agree with you. I think Porsche has always maintained their sales numbers due to wealthy people buying their cars for status symbols. Certainly nowadays the only people who drive aircooled cars are enthusiasts, and the only people that spend time on forums like this are enthusiasts, but I think as much now as ever, the majority of Porsches are bought for reasons other than enthusiasm. I'm ok with that - it ensures the company stays afloat and can provide more cars for me that are 20+ years old!
water cooled porsche owners up to 1995 i would also say are enthusiasts, not just the air-cooled 911's. i did not buy a Porsche for the symbolisim, i bought it because it was hand built and was a proper sports car.
I'm not sure there's another road car quite like the 996 GT3. I think you'll see 6GT3 values hold as 7GT3 values slide past. Your car is just so unique among mass production vehicles. Kinda crazy really.
I want a 996 C4S, turbo, or GT3 one day. They bleed Porsche like the air-cooled siblings.
Philosophically I get the air-cooled/non-air-cooled thing but really...they're all just so incredibly different than other cars why draw a line in the sand?
After looking at all the discussions about the Porsche brand,it seems like the 996 was a mistake.Why is everyone so negative about this series? My only beef is the headlights.Thoughts
