they come fully loaded in HK and they are more or less all the same here. Not interested in it considering I have Godzilla and was going to get a 991 GT3 until it went up in flames and I passed along my quota. Now the RS is out so contemplating whether to buy 2 cars (LP560+458 Italia) or a new 991 GT3 RS (prices would be about the same).

I have a few friends with the 996 turbo and all are selling. Strange market I guess from place to place. Bit like UK sells the CSL on the cheap and Germany are selling them for a large premium.

But I still cannot figure out why they demand large premiums over say a 997 Turbo. I understand why a 964 Turbo is collectible but what's the key aspect for the 996. Sorry, I didn't really follow this particular generation.
