Lol I’ve been driving it to work 2-3 days a week, put another 2000 miles on it. Haven’t made a decision yet but looking closely at the 3.8 engine in the cayman race car currently for sale in the classifieds. Also considering having my mechanic rebuild the current engine so I don’t have to worry about a spare engine laying around the garage.

Can you hook up a Durametric or similar to the CPU and get an over-rev report? That will tell you if you have abuse. I did not do that and gambled but what peace of mind you get when you actually know.
My 987.2 has 94k and the engine screams like new.
These cars are tanks IMO and I think 300k and beyond is possible.
Things replaced:
Shifter cables
Coolant pipes
AOS
Spark plugs (every 40k don't risk seizure)
Filters
New battery (P-cars need strong batteries for the CPU to work w/o hiccups)
LED lights Hitaki are awesome (only if you don't get the bi-xenons)
Looking to replace control arms/struts atm.
Hope that helps
