If your main goal is a sports car a stripper 992 base is now an acceptable value in the US IMO. The M3 still beats it handily as value though and in some other countries the 911 is still unattainable for most.

Once the G8X capabilities become more evident I think it will be as well received buy fans as earlier models.
I can afford cars far more expensive than the G80, yet I choose the M3 this gen and the last gen. I love the looks. No 911 under a GT3 looks as good as a G80 to me (cant wait to see how people react to that).

I put a lot of miles on cars. 18-22k miles/year. That's why I dont have GT3. I refuse to spend that amount on a car and only drive it on weekends.
