What kind of fool would get on the list to pay $440K for this performance:

0-60 mph: 3.5 sec
0-100 mph: 7.06
1/4 mile: 11:35 @ 129.5 mph
0-100-0: 11.6 sec, 882 ft
60-0: 104 ft
lateral acceleration (50 m skidpad): 0.95 g

when some here will tell you all you have to do is buy a TT and put a few bucks in it to achieve the same performance.

I know a guy who has a Miata with a supercharged, balanced and blueprinted Mustang GT engine. Good for 500+ HP. He set up the suspension for the track and it pull over 1 G for sure.

On paper, it would blow away most cars - I drove it and it is a Sh*t box.

This is an extreme example for sure. AND Not to say that a 996TT with mods is crap -- I own one -- BUT sometimes the story on paper is not the story in person.

Now, if you said you drove the two back to back and had a similar conclusion, I would take notice.

honestly i dont know if the dealers are jacking up the prices. i do know that if you want one today it would be over. the only thing my dealer told me was that he could get it quicker than anyone else, and it would be at sticker. i just wanted to pass on the info i had to anyone who was interested in the car

we were on for a while for only 40 grand, not sure if it has gone up or the dealer is trying to stiff you. anyway we decided to pull out and try our luck in the used market eventually
