You won't be disappointed in the 50i performance. It's a beast.
Porsche all out fleeces their owners. My C4S which is not a cheap 911 had $21k of options from full leather interior, audio, aluminum door handles, gauges, etc... I am not sure I have ever seen a bone stock base 911??? It probably would look low rent especially for its price point.
Well my existing M40i does 0-60 in 4.4s and the 1/4mile in 12.7s so hopefully it will be faster on both ends (I know it is but each car can vary).

I've wanted to get a Targa for a while but like every other sedan or non-SUV I won't drive it out here. My dad had a 911 and the options alone could've bought a second one which is what Porsche commands for the 'prestige' of normal features.

Our roads aren't great and most vehicles are 1/2-1ton pick ups or 18 wheelers. I don't want to die being in a smaller vehicle even though larger ones don't guarantee anything. The height of impact will at least not be as bad which is the goal.
