Is the Porsche 997.1 GT3 a good investment?
6-speed manual (2007–2008)
The thesis
The 997.1 GT3 runs the legendary Mezger flat-six, and current average prices around $125k represent a steep discount vs. the 997.2 GT3 RS ($200–350k). 917 units sold in the US. It sits in a value pocket: cheaper than the .2 GT3 but mechanically similar with raw steering feel purists crave. Analog GT cars with manuals have not peaked; 997.1 is the entry point before .2 premiums compound further.
