Later Aeros have a way to depreciate, and I prefer the directness of the Series 1 chassis and drivetrain; so the Series II cars onwards aren't an option.
The car I wanted is a series 1, but has the later, interim hood - so with proper rubber seals, as opposed to the Mk 1 hood which doesn't really have seals atall - just a "rain lip" as found on many classic sports cars.
355 spyder is the real option as I won't be stretching to a 360 Spyder, and definitely want a convertible for road use.
Both my 968s are objectively great cars. And while the engine in the convertible is great for a four cylinder (I far prefer it to the S2000's unit, for example - the Honda engine is superb engineering, but having something that is only any fun at all above 6000rpm is tiring and pointless on public roads), it is still pretty anodyne. Effective, punchy, reliable and smooth - but not exciting.
The supercharged car is a different thing entirely. Dominated by supercharger whine and a virtually straight though exhaust with sports cat. With no sound deadening it's a brutal and mechanical noise, and not at all pretty - but the sheer pace of the thing makes it worth it.
