QUOTE(Rockaria @ May 2 2003, 02:13 PM) I have a hard time with the reality of the 916 and 911 RS cars that people seem to think are made of Platinum or something. Yes they are cool, Freekin cool... But not really that much different. But again Opinion and some have a special need and love for these cars. I'm kinda feeling the same way about this. The 916, although fast, really did have SO few changes from the 914-6, that what you would have been buying (if it were sold) was just the motor and the status. I'm thinking if the same type of thing was done today: take a stock boxster S, put in the GT3 motor and a few appointments. Sell it for $140000. Then factory decides that's stupid, and wait 30 years. Is one of a handful of those going to be >$1M? Probably not, it's not the cars that the factory raced or cared about except to make money to do other things. And the grandchildren of the people on this list have already updated their boxsters with hotter motors from the future for less money (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Mark S. '70 914-6 |
