I think the V-8 continuation is brilliant. The original T70 competed in an era when big displacement engines were the norm. Staying true to that philosophy rather than downsizing is exactly the right call. This feels authentic.
I disagree with those saying 997s are better value. The early DFI 911s fixed most reliability concerns and this generation is more analog, which appeals to serious collectors. This cabriolet could be a smart buy if priced right.
