Seems like trying to me lol. That's pretty awesome and I'm sure your near the leader of the pack at your local track day. I still want to understand your suspension settings. You do realize the GT40 suspension is completely adjustable yes? Doesn't seem like you know much about the GT40... par for the course for most FGT owners.

Oh BS. My GT40 four years into ownership is worth more today by a wide margin than what I bought it for in 2012. I don't dislike modern 911s but to say they are bluechip investments is silly.

Asking others what sort of car you should desire seems no different than asking if you should prefer blondes or brunettes. If you don't already know then...

Some people like fart cans on the back if their V-Tec Yo!

Some like ridiculous Fast & Furious wings and bragadocious but unusable HP...

For me it's 450hp of slip sliding bias ply GT40. I was fortunate enough to attend and it was awesome

PS 3 of them were SPF cars

you can be sure that nearly every tiny 911, with low amount on the speedo, raises his worth, and the special series like turbo, turbo-s, gt3, gt3rs, rs, r, classic, anniversary, etc. sooner and higher

Actually, you're wrong. And must not have any knowledge of the 911 market. Even my NB (narrow body, non-Turbo) 993 has doubled in value since my purchase. And then when you start considering Speedsters, Turbos, GT3's, RS's, Paint-To-Sample, Jelly Bean colors, etc., produced in the last 5-10-20-30 years, some of these 911's have doubled, tripled and quadrupled in value.

Heck, even my Kirkham, purchased in 2007, has increased in value. But it by no means is a blue chip investment or an investment at all.
