I'm thinking of putting some "illist" and prancing horse stickers on my '98 to make it track ready and double the value.

Definitely not a track car, especially with M&S tires, even if it does have coilovers and a wing

Love the painted calipers, high quality work

I had to go back and look at the calipers. Solid work.

I don't think its a bubble *** IF **** the numbers of that specific model of Porsche are truly limited. And by limited I mean you've got money in hand and you simply can not find the car you want in a day or even a week, without compromising on many things about the car that you otherwise would not have wanted if more examples were available.

Cars you find in a day, and are willing to pay the market rate, these are firmly in bubble territory. Most have not recouped their original sticker prices. Once the economy takes a dive, I'd be scooping these up by the dozen, restoring and flipping for a profit when the next bubble comes around.
