So go newer.

It’s not fair that you (a jurisprudent person) ask me a hard question like that.

I appreciate the E a lot. And in this day and age, it’s impossible to let the ZL1 go as it will be like the Model T soon. So I think ‘add’ is my preference.

One objective answer would be to replace the 987.2 but after driving it, as others have pointed out to you, it’s stupid to give this away for any money. They don’t really make NA engines like this anymore without a lot of drama (GT4, GTS).

The Espresso Natural interior is really nice. I have it in mine and the leather is everywhere.

Yeah, that's a lot of car right there. And hey, if you can swing it as an add, that's the right call!

Just maybe take those ceramic rotors off, replace them with iron rotors, and store them in a very safe place.

Thank you. I was wondering how I feel about this interior. It’s unique to me.

There is a big jump in quality (feel, smooth texture, softness) from base leather to Natural.

Here is some detail on it from Porsche:
"Both leathers are genuine cow leather and most come from southern Germany and some from Switzerland and such. None are from Argentina because of issues with stitching. The natural leather is dyed differently than the full in that it goes through a soak process that filters the dye through the whole piece. The full leather has a more superficial dying process as an outer coating. Because of the process on the natural leather, it is a bit more soft and supple...does tend to comfortably wear in a lot easier than the full leather because of this. The natural leather is very high quality with almost no markings. Because of the high quality, it has fewer layers of finish. It is full aniline with glaze. The natural leather will get its patina faster than others because of the fewer finish layers."

Only two leathers are considered "natural leather,"--brown and grey. They process the leather differently than the others. They don't sand the leathers at all and these two come from the top 5% of the hides they get in terms of quality. There are no flaws whatsoever in these (e.g., barbed wire marks, bug bites, etc.) Standard leather is corrected grain leather, subsequently embossed to get back some of the grain look, and then dyed to get back of the the look of natural leather.
