A lot of the recent special edition 911s have really never depreciated. The 4.0L GT3 has at least doubled in value thanks to being the last manual GT3. Seeing how big of an anomaly the R is - manual gearbox, normally aspirated, lightweight, I doubt these ever drop in value.

An interesting sidebar, if everybody wants PDK, why do the special edition manual transmission models sell out nearly instantly?
