^Thanks for your suggestions dallison! I often check the 6speedonline for sale section. We were so excited and all over that red/tan cab C2S until we noticed it was a tiptronic, that was a major dissapointment.

The black 996TT is hawt as well but not a cab, same as the black 997S.

OTW, I agree with either 987.2 S or Elise. The Evora looks insane but is running 80K and up.
As much as I looove the PDK and have even tried it on a 997.2 C4, when it comes to Porsche, manual transmission for me. I would strictly take that route.

OTOH, as much as I'm a Porsche fanboy, we're heavily leaning towards an Elise. <30k gets you a nice low mileaged 05 model.

I don't know your wife but I wonder if she's gonna get tired of an Elise really quickly.

BTW, my neighbor has an Exige S ... I just saw it again today. It's his daily driver

I totally understand your opinion about the 6sp, at least you tried the PDK. Nothing beats long drives in my 911 on the weekend when I have the chance to open her up and I've been working hard on rev-matching although seamless heel-toe is a work in progress Tons of guys on rennlist love their PDK though, especially on the track.

Keep at it man, but keep it safe. Once in a while I kinda muscle it if I'm not paying attention and the tires chirp when I downshift

Nothing more rewarding than getting it down pat, and getting skilled at double clutching.... seamless 5-2 downshift FTMFW!!! Sends chills up my spine when I do it and the engine screams.... or it could just be the exhaust note reverberating throughout the car, hah. Either way its freaking awesome. And when people ask you why you do it, say, "because I can, bish!"

Dizzam that's a good deal. Too bad it's a 996. I want to test drive the 2010 GT3, a black one came in last month. Christ, 2 years ago the GT3s were going straight from Zuffenhausen to the owner, now they are sitting in dealerships for months

The more I think about it the more I'd want a folding hardtop even if it adds weight.

VW Eos, Volvo C70 or BMW 335i or even the new Z4 maybe?
