MC- I have been in PCA for 18 years and am aware of the Porsche depreciation/appreciation curve. I always buy them 3-4 years old certified from a dealer and let the first guy take the $50K depreciation hit. I think with my car it actually happened sooner than normal. Maybe because my car is not real common. It’s not “rare” but certainly not abundant. I didn’t buy It to make $$- I need something to drive and I want the most possible fun. I guess I lucked out.

I also know the value of wheels weight reduction benefits. Even more so with bicycles, although not nearly as pricey. My recent purchase of a fairly basic carbon fiber bike included a wheel &tire upgrade that reduced the weight around 20%.

Porsche 911 has grown, but is still way too tight for a comfortable drive for someone with knees.

True confessions.  I always coveted the original Speedster, but by the time I really thought about buying, Japanese collectors had driven the prices for the desirable examples to over $100k.  So I had a replica built, based on guts from a Beetle.  Even found original 50s gauges for the build (remember JC Whitney?)  Fun, but I eventually felt guilty about running around in a "fake" car.

Hey @glupson - have you ever been in a 911? I'm 6' and have more leg and head room than in my old 4Runner. Once you get in, it's very comfortable.

For someone in the back seat, that's another matter.....

one of my good pals, fellow track buddy is 6-4 and fits comfortably in a 991.1 and 991.2 GT3 RS with helmet... does some 15-20 track days per year on average -- both cars had standard factory cf lwb’s, stock installation (without aftermarket recliner brackets)...

6-3 or 6-4 drivers may need to recline the stock sofa sets (4 way or 18 way) in a 991 car with sunroof... but just a touch, depends on torso vs leg length...
