It's VERY over looked & 996's are hated & most think ugly.
It has a moniker the "Widow Maker"
Guys who own them f'ing love them
Guys who have driven them f'ing love them
Small production, 300 produced for the U.S.
Fast and raw as hell
Different than GT3's that have all the bells and whistles of traction control, etc.
Fully depreciated. .40 on the $ buys them.
10 years since production (sweet spot)
Air cooled, well yes but it's first generation and in time that knock by will change.
I have a GT2 and it has, in fact, tried to kill me several times. Absolute beast. Best long term air cooled has got to be any 83-89 cabriolet. Still sort of affordable and easy to work on.... a fully open 911 is a special experience. Always will be.
