Sandwiched in between a pair of spiffy Ray Bans and a wrapped rollcage, a GoPro captures some incredible footage of a 997 GT2 RS driven to and beyond the ragged edge of adhesion.

Continue to the full articleRiding the Depreciation Curve: When to buy a used 911.
I will admit to being a bit out of my depth with newer Porsche values. I'm deeply involved with classic cars, so depreciation in modern cars simply doesn't come up for me often.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl_g5grZ1DY Matt describes the GT3 as "about the limit of racecar for the street", because anything more hardcore is something you don't want to drive everyday, and to me that makes perfect sense.

I'm a two timer times two. I cheated on my "purist" ideals and recently spent a week with a beautiful 2009 Porsche Carrera S - with PDK no less - and a host of other goodies.
