986's a rare breed?

But healthy debates such as these certainly help them to be a 'classic', that's for sure. Without passion, there will be no classic.

Who possesses a Porche without passion? Does passion have a price? I think the 986's value is worth its passion.

Honestly, I didn't buy a 986 for hopes that the price would increase in the years to come. I bought it because I was looking for my next car to meet the 3 following criteria:
1. RWD
2. Convertible
3. REAL SPORTS CAR.

I was just just looking at the 996 GT2 and alot of guys are speculating on the value of that car in 15 years. I cant really buy a car for investment purposes and then drive it like it was supposed to be driven...HARD and ENJOYABLE.
