Re: Carrera 4 gts or new 991??
Grant:
Imo, the only 997 to be a real classics will be the GT3 RS 4.0 and GT2 RS

I agree Grant. Just look at all the special editions of the 996 (Millenium, 40th Aniversary, ect) the only 996 that is a classic is the 996GT3RS, the rest fade as they become older and outdated since they don't have anything truly exceptional that keep the interest - something that combines an exceptional ability or character (i.e. RS version for example) - and production number (i.e carrera spin off vs a small edition RS version of a GT model). Which is the case for the GT2RS and GT3RS 4.0 and was the case for the 996 GT3RS. Wider body, special paint color, special wheels, optional equip as standard like powerkits, especia anniversary tag, etc is not that special after time IMO. Stil great cars, but won't particularly sought after as classics.
