Actually a 996 4s and although not as old as the Z its still a 911 and not vastly different from its older brothers.
Sorry yes, 996. My mistake.
"Not vastly different"? You know what I'm going to say to that though don't you? I don't think a 996 Carrera 4S is comparable to an early 70s 911 in any meaningful sense. Sorry but you might as well be comparing a fridge with the 240Z. You've built up a proper relationship with the 240Z and it actually means something to you and your family, and I can't see that happening with something like a 996 C4S.
I don't think we are going to see a rush of guys from the DDK forum dumping their 60s and 70s 911s and looking for S30-series Zs. If there are one or two, it'll be because they are effectively 'downsizing' and/or cashing in on the difference between what they originally paid and what they can sell for now. And I still fear your average old Porsche fan probably thinks the early Zs are, when all is said and done, a bit primitive, feel a bit cheap on the inside, don't have much *brand value* and are a bit expensive now for what they are...
