But with that mindset, what car can you buy? There's always gonna be a better and newer car just around the corner. Especially with Porsche...

I hope it does a while and more than once I've thought about ordering one. I just don't see the huge price difference between my gen 1 997 rs.

I've never even seen a 997.2 GT3 on the road yet. Nevermind an RS. The 4.0 will only exist in photos for me.

How many 4 second to 60 Sports Sedans are on the road today? In 97 my street going 993 Turbo S was a 4 second car on paper. Only 183 total for the world sold and they still sell above their 150k msrp. That's more limited. The GT2's of that day were even faster and much Lighter than the road going Turbo's with 450hp not the claimed 424hp by Porsche on the street models.

1998 Porsche 911 Turbo S Summary
Body: fixed-head coupé
Length: 4245 mm
Weight: 1500 kg
Engine Capacity: 3600 cc
Cylinders: F6
Max. Power: 450.2 PS / 444 bhp / 331.1 kW @ 6000 rpm
Max. Torque: 585.0 Nm / 431 ft.lb / 59.7 kgm @ 4500 rpm
Acceleration: 0-60 mph in 3.90 seconds

Don't get me wrong this 4.0 is awesome and I believe a prize to own.

Caddy makes a good engine I'm not shocked and knew of this one. Name another

Plus it's ugly and it's also 14 years newer technology

Panamera Turbo will do 0-60 in 3.8s but that doesn't matter because it's hiiiiiideous.
