Thinking of selling and buying

Nikon FM

The car had been professionally modified within Porsche Specs from the ground up (full suspension mods and 450HP to the wheels) prior to the current owners purchase……..so old or not the unit was pretty/crazy sweet on the road. Due to the current owners neglect and lack of maintenance savvy the poor car is probably going to die badly

Oh well good lesson learned! So can anyone say 996 turbo?…hahahaha

997 or bust. However, I have heard it said by every person who ever owned one of the AWD turbo cars they they just flat out suck for driver enjoyment compared to the GT3 and other RWD Porsches. The 997 platform got rid of some of the unintentional throttle lift snap oversteer from what I understand.

I'd buy a GT3 997 if I were going to buy an older Porsche. However, I just don't make that kind of money.

Anyway, it seems to me like you just have some urge to buy a Porsche.

Why?

Yes, it's more refined than your 370Z, but I doubt you bought a 370Z because it was uber-refined. I cross-shopped the Cayman S and the 370Z and I would have bought the 370Z over the Cayman S, personally. I know that doesn't mean crap to you, but I'm just saying as a 3rd party that bought neither car, nor has owned either car, my perception of the two was that the Cayman S emblem was costing me $30K had I made that decision. Oh, the paint was better on the Porsche and the interior was made of higher grade material (because Porsche said so...) but felt the same to me. Whoever the jackass was that designed the 370Z seats didn't count on a jackass like me dropping my Pt. safe scissors behind the seat either Almost lost them.
