I highly doubt a significant number were turned to track hot rods as you suggest. Maybe a few hundred, a thousand at most. So what you still have 18,000 left. Not rare.

I think with market recognition and up to 40% appreciation in the past 3-4 years, some people are thinking about cashing out.

Not me.

I don't recall seeing many of these around in the $20's and surely not the desirable ones. Sure maybe some high miles tip cars but not many changes hands in the 20's or low 30's. Still... These things were and are screaming bargains for the kind of performance they offer.

that's how unfulfilled I was with the 10 months of 996tt ownership that it took me 3 weeks to read a post on them. you pretty much nailed it with your point ive quoted. after I got used to the turbo poooowwaaah it got stale. the nannies ruined the driving experience for me and after a couple months of ownership I could not wait to get back into aircooled car.

I can drive my 75 at 3/4 the pace on a twisty road of the 6tt having it require twice the skill. thankfully as you know pnutz this caveman posses the required skill set to do so:D.. silly, silly pnutz

I agree - Kinda like the old adage that “it’s more fun to drive a slow car fast than to drive a fast car slow.” Not too slow of a car of course, and it has to be a manual transmission...

My bucket list car is a 997.2 GT3, but with rising values and the fear of too much car for the street, I’m rethinking my options...

I just went from a 996TT to a 997.2 GT3 RS and I saw do it....http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1553443550.jpg

The 996 tt are great cars but to me too common and too boring.
It’s another modern day Porsche that does all the work for you. Especially the tips, Cars were weak for awhile then shot up to many at $50-60k the X50 helps a lot.
But for the money now I perfer the 997.2 C2S Manual of course for about same prices.
Plus, it’s a car air cooled geeks would have trouble enjoying except with the wife
