Dalealan2001,

If I wanted a new car I would just go buy one. Not every one wants a new car. The 986 is the same as a 987. I have a 3.4, I have a 987 tranny, I have a 987 clutch, I could use heated seats

Some suspension work and I am good to go. I happen to really like the 986 and I like to turn wrenches on it. Kinda my hobby and release from the norm. I like having trouble with it and having to figure it out. Getting your hands dirty is not for everyone. As for handling better that is another fun thing to mess around with. Take something that has the same platform and upgrade and tune it. Smells like new... My car has less miles than most two year old cars and stays in a garage under a cover. Smells good to me. I just like my car. I don't think I will get rid of my 986 ever. I may buy something different but there is no reason to sell it.
