When I look at the cars that are valued over their contemporaries what stands out is that it had mass appeal and was part of a revolution. The 986 specifically, meets these criteria by causing a huge sensation when introduced, was a new- for- the- times formula ( mid-engine resulting in superior handling dynamics), and will be the last Porsche's without electronic interference/ interface. Rarity alone doesn't equate to high demand- there are many examples but I can't remember their names. Sensational, mass appeal at the time of production plants the necessary seed ( that's why a stock example is most desirable) so that when people reach the age where they begin to become nostalgic about their youth they remember 'where they were at' including music and other passions they felt. And while they may not have been able to have that 'thing' then, they can at this later date.
