Champignon, mon frere! I apologize I don't know much about Porsches, except that the 911 line does nothing for me. I don't like the sound that much. Of the new cars, I find the 2014 Cayman S to be compelling. I love the side profile and it comes in great colors. The Yellow and Blue are extra beautiful. I am not mentioning the GT4 because that is over budget but it might be possible to find a manual NA 2014 Cayman S in your price range. Unfortunately, the second generation uses electric steering but it has been universally praised as the gold standard in electric steering so I would at least drive one. I do love the 917 of yesteryear and the only other Porsche that appeals to me is the 944S and 944 Turbo. I have never driven one, but again I find the lines compelling and well within budget. Of the new cars, the 2014 Cayman is at the top of my short list of modern cars. I hope you pick one up here in SoCal so we can take it for a spin. : )
