Next Porsche

[greenandtan]

I love my 2.7 Green and Tan Boxster. But I have the multiple Porsche itch, and I think a 911 is the only thing that will scratch it. Question is, I want to spend up to or about 40K, but the options are TOO plentiful:
-poss abused 997 C2S
-plain jane hq 997
-lovingly run 996 C4S
-any other 996

I've used my "nok cha" (green tea/car) as a DD as much as possible but with Monterey and maybe Florida on the horizons, I might not NEED another cabrio but I'm not a coupe guy, does that even make sense to lust after a 911 w/o loving coupes? I want the extra in cab room so 2+2 makes sense, thus 987/981 are out. I don't want a FR I'm ready for RR, grr.

The 2.7 is great to give a workout and fast-ish to enjoy, but the need for speed is there.

Any thoughts on specific 911/experiences?
