Re: Sold my chassis....
You're making progress, Bruce. Once the rolling chassis is gone , you'll be ready for the replacement.
I'd agree with the 09 and up variants.
FWIW, it seems like there are a lot of base cars out there of these years with manuals.
They will have the 2.9L motor and 255HP--pretty close HP/TQ to what your old car had; no along with the S brakes and suspension. No DFI, but no IMS and a lot less $.
I think driving the base 987.2 back to back with a 986S would make for an interesting comparison.
My dealer has this on their website; listed at $39.9K on Cars.com:
