I want to eventually get a 911. Not sure what the best and most desirable ones are. My budget is 10K if I keep my daily driver or 15k if I sell my daily driver.
Any suggestions ? Thanks, Levon |

The 3.2 also has 9.0mm rod bolts as opposed to the 10mm rod bolts on the 3.0. They both have the Dilavar exhaust studs that fail prematurely, just replace them with steel ones when the time comes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
