Good Morning! And what a morning it is! Your daily dose of the Porsche market is running late thanks to a slew of cars run through not one, but two Mecum auctions over the weekend. We're one week in and it's already time to find an intern.

THE MARKET

Sell-Through Rate: 75%

Market Volume: $2,266,066

• The weekend brought us a solid sell-through rate which includes cars sold (and not sold) at Mecum Auctions in Chicago and Chattanooga.
• With 36 cars selling over the weekend and a total market volume of $2,266,066, the VAST majority of cars were under the average sales price of just below $63,000. We'll call that the Mecum effect.

SPOTLIGHT

PHOTO CREDIT BRING A TRAILER

It's not every day that a normally aspirated 993 sells for the same money you could find a turbo for, but here we have a 1997 993 Coupe bringing all the money at $220,000.

You might be thinking maybe the car has only delivery miles or it was a celebrity-owned car, but that's not the case. What drove this car into the low $200s is what's under the hood.

You see, this particular 993 is optioned with the rare X51 engine package, an option we never saw here in the states. Checking the X51 option not only gave you a sport exhaust system and some more power but that power cam courtesy of an increase in displacement to 3.8 liters giving you 296 horsepower.

With both the 993 GT2 and 993 RS sporting 3.8-liter engines, this little 911 joins some rarified air but at a fraction of the price. So for $220,000, which would you take: the turbocharged 993 off the poster on your childhood wall, or this car that you probably didn't even know existed?

NEW & NOTEWORTHY

• Nothing screams the 1980s more than a red turbo with red wheels, which is the combo on this 1986 911 Turbo offered on AutoHunter.
• Ok, ok. Maybe this 1987 Turbo Cabriolet is a bit more 80s due to its flachbau front end. Just paint the wheels red.
• And what would be a "New & Noteworthy" section without mention of yet another 2005 Carrera GT hitting the market?
