It won't change the laws of physics and won't save you from having a big off.
Leading evidence: 'Replace laws of physics and won't save you' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace laws of physics and won't save you' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I have visions of future track use on a very limited basis.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Looking into '99 996.
This would serve as second/weekend car. I have visions of future track use on a very limited basis. (Did the Dodge Viper Days, had a blast on the road course)
Is the 6 speed a safe bet? (haven't driven tip)
Is the PSM a desirable feature? (should I try to find on with or without it?)
Are there any other features that I should look for or avoid?
Are there any performance differences in cab? (sometimes cabs are heavier)
It is less desirable for the track but I do live at the beach..........
I realize this may be preference, but any thoughts on the matter would help.
Thanks
The manual transmission is very nice and a "safe bet".
PSM is a good idea depending on your budget.
The cab is heavier and has a less rigid body. This makes very little difference when you're driving along the ocean with the top down.

PSM is a good idea depending on your budget. It's a safety item that you never know if you will need and will appreciate when it keeps you from getting into trouble. Many owners get along just fine without it on the other hand. I personally never buy a car capable of very high speeds without some type of stability control.

PSM wasn't available on the '99 C2. Traction control was an option though. I had it on mine, not really necessary unless you have a leadfoot in the wet (a nice side benefit is that you get a LSD with it).
PSM is way over-rated. It won't change the laws of physics and won't save you from having a big off. But if it gives you peace of mind, go for it.
Personally, I'd get one with the 6 speed (way more fun than a Tip), 18" wheels, sport seats and a coupe if you're planning on any trips to the track.
