    Blowhard

    I figured it was time to start posting examples of these cars. Currently they are a terrific value. Manual trans, 996/997 Turbos are sure to be a top tier collector car down the road.

    Starting with Beauty. (Forget my comments on BaT... like one is drawn to an ugly dog with tons of spunk and spirit, I am absolutely smitten with this Sepia 997TT. I'd buy it if I could but I think it's going to break the bank.):

    Frank- 100% agree with you regarding the manual box 997 TT’s as being a terrific car and a future collectible. I’d love to own one as a daily driver. The Sepia brown example was a bold move and it works on the car. I think it’s about the only color I’ve seen that makes that Sand Beige interior color look good.

    I have been daily driving a 2008 manual 997.1 turbo for about 3 years now.
    It is the last of the manual turbos which makes it somewhat significant. (All the new 991 turbos are bigger and have 4 wheel steering etc.)

    It is gentle as a pussycat and wild as lion. Practical and Very versatile. Production numbers are also somewhat low. These cars will have a long shelf life as they are rebuildable.
    The price point makes them interesting however prices have climbed in the last 3 years since i bought my car.
