    As a big VW guy, naturally my absolute ALL-TIME dream car has always been a 930 or 964 911. With skyrocketing prices though, I’ll have to get lucky and find a good deal on one that needs a lot of work, otherwise I’ll likely never be able to afford a clean one. If only I would have found a way to buy one 10-15+ years ago when they could be found for $12k all day long.

    That road you were on when you said it was surprising you, is what that car was built for.
    Back-road barn-stormer.. Don't need the big power to have fun... If anything, more than 350 hp will spoil it for the drive it hard experience..
    More power means silly speed to have some fun pushing it on down the road.
    It works, looks good, sounds good and is really fun to drive. Really hope you spend more time driving it than modding it.
    /edit, just saw your end goal bit.. I love that your plan is to keep it reasonably powered(and at 350 matches my earlier comment 😁)..
    It's so good to see someone do something that makes sense for a daily fun car rather than the crazy power many go for.
