Buyer with too many options...

[Octane1]

This is by no means a criticism, Just an observation. You say you dont track your cars, but all the cars your looking at at track oriented specialty cars. Especially the DHSC. And the DHSC you ordered even has Recaros. Im curious what it is you want out of a car is all.

As for the one that will hold the value the best, I dont think any are great candidates. But a standard DH or GT PP with FP super chargeer seems to be the most bang for your buck.

All good points. Thank you. Spirited driving at enthusiast events mostly. We’ve taken the 911 to the Tail of the Dragon a couple of times. There is a great Porsche event at Eureka springs as well. The 911 is truly a brilliant car. However, driving from TX to TN in it sucks. I drove a DH with magneride and could see cross country country trips would be more pleasant.

similar logic with my Raptor R…. an XLT would get me to work - but there are a lot more smiles per mile in the R.

I appreciate the feedback

That's a nice setup.

@Upacurb : Reading what you said about GT350's not going boom had me go back and read the thread of my 17 going boom. It did work out in the end, but just the thought of dealing with that again is the reason I went the direction I went. The thread was

Yep years ago it was definitely more common but the updated 19/20s outside of a factory defect ....I think it was a run of lifters ....seem to be holding together and all the older ones that were going to break seem to have broken lol

Buy the car that *YOU* like and for your own reasons. I would never recommend buying any "normal" car as an investment. Yea, that Steve McQueen signed Mustang is probably worth a fortune, but most cars depreciate the second they leave the dealer's lot. That being said, my opinion is the DHSC will probably retain value a bit better than the standard Mustangs.

Whatever you decide, have as much fun driving it as you can.
Life is too short to agonize over putting miles on a machine and watching your investment depreciate.

Just my 2 shekels worth.

I'd go for a DHSC, simply because I prefer not to deal with aftermarket or put add ons onto a car.
As for depreciation, who knows? You can be sure it will depreciate though.
The last normal production cars that were investments I saw were back in the 60's and 70's when you could not buy a new car in NZ unless you had foreign funds available. So farmer/exporters would buy a new car every 6 months and sell the old one for a healthy profit.

They had replaced my engine with the 19 Gen 2 R version. One of the newer ones when it had changed. In hindsight, I should have kept that car and boosted it. I had done an entire audio system with it that I basically gave away. I replaced it with my GT500.

When I started looking for my replacement for the sold GT500, I first looked for another GT350. The ones I found were either GEN 1 or super high miles. I could not find a 2019 or 2020 at a reasonable price. Either they were high miles or high miles AND high priced! So what you said about the value is true; no arguments there.

Happy where I landed though. The DH is as much fun as my GT350 was, and that was what I was looking for. With the Kooks on it, it will not scream to 8200, but it truly sounds good screaming to 8k
