They seem to hold their value really well but I can't see why you can get a 2004 996 Carrrera 4S for

 

Supply and demand.

Don't think it's any more than that - look at the number of NSXs compared to the number og 996s.

 

996 turbo's are going for less money... crazy...

Has anyone actually dyno'd a standard NSX? Can't believe they are only 276bhp?

 

The area under the torque curve's important; peak power is to impress dicksplashes.

Also, less weight, excellent brakes and suspension make a good car, not big bhp.

Unlike the rest of the plebescite, I'd sooner have the NSX than the 996, on just about every level.

 

if the NSX had been better suited to track work, I would have had one by now.

There was simply too much to change to use it as a regular trackday car (and the thought of panel damage gave me the wobblies too).

 

You've just insulted S2000 drivers

 

A 996 Turbo has loads more Torque Dicksplashes car?

 

supply and demand mostly, very few 3.2 face lifted manual cars around (less than 50 sold each year when they were for sale)

 

To be precise these are the official UK sales figures through 2002:

Year Sales
1991 125
1992 41
1993 47
1994 19
1995 55
1996 38
1997 35
1998 10
1999 17
2000 11
2001 8
2002 23

 

You could only fit a couple of kids in the back seat of one of them, but the 996 is so fugly.
