Is the Porsche 911 (997) a good investment?
GT3 Gen 1 (2007–2008)
The thesis
The 997.1 GT3 with the legendary Mezger 3.6 flat-six remains the sweet-spot GT3: analog, naturally aspirated, and manual-only. With the 992 GT3 Touring losing £25k in three years and 996 GT3s now £80k+, the 997.1 sits perfectly in budget and cycle. Enthusiast forums confirm 'anything 996/997 GT3 flavoured is not going down'. Low production, Porsche GT pedigree, and a demonstrable upward trajectory over the past decade support continued appreciation.
