Obviously a post lift would be better, but lots of people either
1 - don't have the space
2 - can't install one

I fall under number 2 because I live in a condo complex with a private garage. I can do car work in the garage, but can't use anything permanent. I'd be getting the $999 option.

Yeah I am with you.. in fact, I am in an apartment with a private garage so a very similar situation...

Think the $999 option will be OK? I feel like it's cutting it kind of close with our cars but your Porsche is a good bit lighter. $999 is much more palatable but I hope to put in a full sized lift when I move into a larger space some day.

My brother-in-law has a two post lift in his garage that we used it to install my TT kit and now that is all I dream about when I am putting the car up on stands.

Gross weight for the Z is almost 4,000 if i remember right, so I wouldn't push it with the small lifts. There will likely be black Friday/holiday sales so I expect to get the 5K limit one around $1100-1200.

I too hope for the full size lift option.

More like 3,300-3,350lb, isn't it?

I've used the EZCarlift for years now, and find it tremendously useful.
EZ CAR LIFT - FREE-STANDING USE-ANYWHERE CAR LIFT! FAST. SAFE. STRONG.EASY.

Not cheap, and you need different cross-brace members for different cars (if you happen to be unlucky like me and have vehicles with different range of lift-point spacing). It is, however, pretty fail safe, good for 4,400 lbs, and USA made.

The Ranger Quick Jack came along after I bought my lift, or I may have gone that way instead. But not at all unhappy I have this.
