Thus the reason I have owned a lot of P cars. Sell it move on. Fun part of be a car guy is moving on. Always miss my former cars but also enjoy finding and driving new ones.

Drive a 997 MT turbo or _________ and when bored with it sell it and buy something else.

Life is short

Depends on if you want something faster or something that feels and sounds faster. But yes, if you're over it then time to get out and get something else. If you're ultimately a speed junkie then get a turbo.

If anyone is bored of their 911 they are not driving it correctly.

Crazy

If you’re that power hungry, better to buy something else. No mods will be enough.

Take the car to the track and see what it is capable of. If that’s not your thing then may time for a different car

Drive with the windows down. Keep the car in manual mode with the RPMs above 5000. Works for me!

I would have to agree with this.
It might be wise to sell it and seek out what Homeles is suggesting!

Sell it. Base is not very fast feeling. Not like a Vette.
