You need a new mechanic. Yes, the 993's are a fortune, but primarily because so few were made. The 996 GT2 was a very special car. No nannies, just a pure drivers car. The Metzger motor was one of the greatest engines ever made. It is the product of racing. They then took the racing motor and mass produced it. My car, a little 6 banger, made 800 rwhp on stock internals. That is more than 200 hp per liter. And I beat the piss out of it. Tracked it many times, ran a low 10 second quarter and trapped 137, and of course money raced it.
That motor continued to run strong, and even today is still running great.
