Went to breakfast with the PCA folks yesterday and rode in my friend’s 2008 Cayman. After spending 2 hours in the car I concluded that it wasn’t the car for me. I had thought that adding a newer pcar to the family would be fun and that the older midengine would be a smart choice. It just didn’t make me smile like the 914. When we were done with breakfast the line of cars all looked alike. I noticed that people notice more about the color of these cars than the lines of the body. No visual excitement
I need to get my locks fixed and get my car back on the road! |

Not a fair comparison IMHO.
I've had both cars and the 987.2 is probably as good as it gets for a street fun car and touring car. An evolution of the 914. They are both very different cars. I had a Soul exhaust on my 987.1 and let me tell you the seat of the pants above 5k is a whole nuther experience. Carry on. |

I have both, and if the 914 has SOUL, the 987.2 Cayman S has SPIRIT. My 2nd Cayman, closest thing there is to the perfect car.
C&D said if everyone in the world had a Cayman, there would be world peace. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Having both the 914 and 987.2 is the best of both worlds - they compliment each other in so many ways. Can drive either one all day. Not in city of course. And more and more are saying the 987.2 was the peak of all Caymans, the last with hydraulic steering and road feel. I'm so happy with both I have no plans to ever sell either.
