They do. It's called a Speedster.

edit, just realized you were looking for manual transmission

You can use the Porsche inventory search to narrow down what you were looking for. Here’s one a year newer.

lesser equipped, though.

Minimum wage in NY is $16/hour. At 80 hours/week, that is $1280/week or $66,560/year pretax which is just about $50K after tax and doesn't consider the cost of working (commuting costs, lunch, etc). It is probably quite the challenge for a family of 4 to make ends meet anywhere in the greater NYC area on $50K.

I am not taking a political position about minimum wage or anything remotely like that. My post is not meant to be political - just looking into the numbers that a hardworking but unfortunate (and uneducated and/or unskilled and/or unmotivated) adult doesn't have to be an addict to be economically challenged.

Manual is a must. Prefer convertible. Need GT3 manual convertible or Turbo S manual convertible.

This is the stupidest thing I have read in a while. There are plenty of people out there who are working 80 hrs a week and are barely making it. Be happy you are not in that situation, and don't look down on those who don't have the skills and education to make a good living.

No one should look down on anyone. Be humble. I know Ivy League W2 workers and college drop outs making tons of money. Just cause you make money doesn’t mean jack. Treat everyone with respect. The world will be better with respectful human beings.

Right, but dealers don't have the ability to decide that a car should be held at port. Porsche (especially not that it is publicly traded) would not delay booking hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue so its dealers can charge ADMs.

Read out loud what you are typing.

If have any inkling of the costs to "hold" something at port, you would realize the utter nonsense of any profit-seeking entity (to which PAG is definitely one) "purposely holding" cars at port.

I didn’t know the Targa was that expensive. Almost GT3 price territory.

Targa production volume is smaller than the GT3. Outside the “specials”, they’re typically the rarest 911s in a given model year. Three pedal examples, like the one you shared, are rarer still.
