I don't think anybody will argue that! But this is the Porsche Marketplace Discussion Forum, so the topic at hand is about values, etc. 
FWIW I've owned a few 911s myself. While each was (a little) different, they're all special to drive. None more so than another (although I definitely had my favorites). What I've been trying to figure out is why one model is three - four times what I think they're worth. The '74 I owned was quite a hot-rod (built by the PO) and I can just about guarantee it drove the same (if not better) than a mid '70s Carrera. Bought and sold it for under $15k.
Man I wish I didn't have to sell that thing....
