"I have an 86 Carrera. I'm 5' 6" 140 with a size 8 1/2 shoe and it took me some time getting used to the pedals, seemed like the gas was almost behind the console at first. I don't notice at all now, just seems natural"
I noticed the same offcenter feel!

But the 86' has alot of miles on the body 120k range, but the engine was fully rebuilt recently and overall in solid shape.

I am not sure on the budget. For an 80's 911 they seem to be in decent shape for around 20k, which is fine. And then the 90's 993's, I am open to getting into the mid-30's range. The problem I feel is that once you hit that range, the options really start to open up for both new cars and other used. I originally though a new Cayman would be cool, but i think insurance really turned me off to that, but for an older Porsche I think I would want to be under 35k, and anything over would need to be great because I would be comparing to alot of other options. These cars are appealling because in time it would be cool to modify a bit and maybe hit a track day with it.

Thanks,
Tim
