The AMG's about as far from a street legal race car as it gets. 2 tons!

Agree the 86 is a better driver's car.

Pretty cool but I'm sure it'll be yet another $500k++ restomod, of which they'll build half a dozen, and none of them will ever see actual road use (except for the press ones).

I doubt the 997.2 is ever going to depreciate beyond where it is now. Which as you say is both...

Coming back to that question, I'm leaning towards a supercharged Jag' XE.



It's a bit of an oddball, but how about a 996 / 997 convertible?
Great steering, can still be had for low $$$....

How about an F23 M240i convertible?

The twins are indeed in a class of their own. I've been looking for a 4-door equivalent to them but so far nothing gets close.

Yup, around here 30k€ seems to be the base price for any of these, let alone a 2.0L clean one. They do hold their value well, so they're not that expensive to own. Cost per mile is high though..
