I drove 356. You know the phrase, never drive your hero? Yeah, this car sucks. VW bus is more fun (and more useful). You know, at least when it overheats, you can go in the back and ****.
For convertible, buy a Mclaren. For open top fun, no Porsche will match the thrill of 600LT spider. Well, maybe CGT, but I figure you're not looking to spend north of half mil.

Not sure , but I assume for a manual it can at least handle a cobb tune which imo is quick enough unless you are talking about tts quick 
in that case I'd suggest a 600lt spider as someone mentioned above
Just pulled a wild build with PTS/LWB/PCCB and it's about 120k

No doubt the S/GTS 718 is quick, but I want fast.

I had the same thoughts and choose the new Spyder.
Will fulfll my “sport car for the streets “ needs for 1/3 price of a $peedster.
I know, it is not the same car...

991.2 GTS with a tune should do it, assuming you want to stay with Porsche. Otherwise, 2010-2013 Turbo's pop up with manual occasionally... but will be harder to find.
I don't think a Spyder would be a rocket, nor a Speedster (though much faster), as it sounded like you were after that feeling of low end torque that a Turbo will give you.

Back to your original list: The 997.1 Turbo Cabriolet made me feel dirty, because it was a lot of fun and I didn't love the 997.1 Turbo coupe (too soft in stock form) where I really liked the Cabriolet for reasons I could not put my finger on. It just gelled. YMMV, but this might be a fun fling...

I also think there are no more 4 cylinder 718 allocations for US, but less importantly, the delta from the GTS and boxster spyder is not that big. It is $12,500 built the way I would between the two. According to the 718 forum, the stock 6MT trans is at max torque in a stock GTS or GT4 so not sure it’s a great idea to tune one.
No doubt the S/GTS 718 is quick, but I want fast.
