I don't live in LA. I just put that since I enjoy a certain level of anonymity.
The reality for me is, the 991 isn't the highest performance and the interior is dated. If I wanted a car that wasn't the best, wasn't the worst, had an aging interior, and was a manual 911, there are literally thousands to choose from online. I don't see the point in a 991 .2 GT3. I'm not into face lifts.
Your above arguments sound more like you are not interested in buying a high-performance these days at all
I'm really not. The performance is high enough. It's getting pointless in normal usage. If I wanted to be faster, I'd learn to drive faster rather than just buy faster cars. I'm sure plenty of people out there can drive faster in a 12C than I could in a 720S, thus the appeal definitely isn't the performance.
If I could get the latest and greatest exotic designs and technology with less power and for less dollars, I would have no problem with that. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a market for that yet, thus I'll get high-performance whether I want to pay for it or not.
I kind of agree. The only new car that is really tickling my fancy is the 812 and I don't have the money to buy one. I find the front end of every McLaren offputting, the 911 interior is getting more than dated and all the cars are fast enough now that they are too fast to have a lot of fun on the street most of the time.
