Personally, I'm not sure you gain anything going to a 928, unless you just want a cushier vehicle. Boxster S would give you similar/superior performance compared to the 951, but I would plan on sinking in at least another $10k. You would also get that performance in a much more reliable vehicle, with modern creature comforts.

I know it's a tangent from your original idea, but why not an SC or Carrera? You loose a bit of the straight line speed, but short of a racetrack, I doubt you'll notice. Plus, you won't have any of the 951's pronounced turbo lag. Even better, you can pick up nice SCs for $12k or so, nice Carreras for $15k.
