For all the guys who complain about vague shifting in the 915....it is linkage and adjustment plus if you want to tighten it up, go for the factory short shift kit.
Between replacing all the bushings and proper adjustment, the 915 can easily get to the "gun bolt" level of precision, but it is a baulking transmission and will never be easy to shift. Having said that, I have zero problems with mine, it is not a transmission to be rushed.
Cost wise, I would assume it is zero difference....

I have another question for you: do you like air conditioning? If you do, you might consider a 964 instead, which is a great value these days.

Good luck,

remember to warm up the tranny like you warm up the engine....after about 5 miles my first and second gear become much smoother. I'd worry more about the clutch. don't try to launch the car at a light if you have a pasenger...the smell will kill you.

To answer all your questions:
-I have never had A/C in any car I owned so I don't think I would be disappointed.
-I do plan on getting a PPI done on whatever car I decide to purchase.
- I would love nothing more than to go around and trying out the various porches. However, it is easier said than done in my case. Firstly I am situated in Canada, there aren't that many around. Secondly, due to my age and the current car I drive (soon to be the winter beater) not a lot of people take me seriously when I say I am interested in buy their car.

Porsche dealers are not that snooty, IMO. They'll let you out with the cars...
