I just don't think tracking a car that is appreciating is worth it unless you have been doing so already and have the car built. Why would anyone take a low mileage GT2 and turn it into a HPDE vehicle? And if you look at track times the GT2, while fast for it's time, is not any longer.

I passed on a few GT2's last year and am kicking myself and now that I am seeing 997GT3 prices creep up I may go GT4 or American very very soon. Living in Florida horsepower is king (Sebring, Homestead) and I hated having momentum cars for racing or the track down here. Was always getting smoked. So that is my main gripe against the Cayman. Oh yeah. That lifeless steering sucks too.
