Good answer. Fantastic cars as are their sibling the Boxster.

I'm fringe enough to say that I would rather a new Cayman GTS 4.0 or Boxster GTS 4.0 over a baseline 911. To me it is the less car equals better car scenario.

Right there with you. Shoot 80's 911s can hit $100K these days. I regret not buying one when they were semi-affordable.

lots of nice low-mileage pre-2010 models available in the $30-45k range

PLUS an additional $10-$15K a year in repair/parts costs.

Well done! These LS engines make so much power right out of the box. Perfect fit for these C3’s. Looks like it belongs there.
Spent the last couple days getting rid of the crappy plastic oil line to the gauge and since I had it opened up, replaced the tach cable at the same time. Always something to do
