Is it the last NA manual, possibly the current GTS? Is it the 997 gt3 with its manual and preferable steering?

Regardless of when the current porsche era ends. We know what started it. The 1997 boxster quickly followed by the the 996.

Hold on to your porsches, somehow the company makes them all special in their own way.

To my knowledge the only water cooled 911 experiencing substantial appreciation are the 997 GT3's and RS's with manual transmissions. 911 production numbers by year:

996 GT3s are way up and will most likely stay there . 996 GT2s are up also . Turbos seem to be holding steady and the wide body C4S also . The C4S would be my pick as the gem of the 996 era cars but a real good one costing around 35k is hard to swallow .

996 mk1 cars are certainly hitting the rock bottom and now i am seeing the 996 mk2 cars starting to drop down well below 30K where they have been for the past few years . The 996 mk2 cars are real nice as well . a big improvement over the mk1 , if you can find one with full leather they are down right luxurious . 997s are still holding well . 997 mk1 cars are over priced in my opinion and i actually prefer the 996 with all its quirks .
