I've since learned that all Porsches are NOT created equal. If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't concern myself with having a navigation system, Bose, heated seats, 6-disc CD changer, etc. etc. etc. I would be more concerned with camber adjustability, sway bar adjustability, transmission durability, dry oil sump, etc. etc. etc.

When I bought the car, I had only been on the track once in my life and I thought "All Porsches are built like tanks. The $20k discount is a steal and if I decide to do more track events, the car can take it."
