Yes, I thought long and hard, two things swung the 987 for me, first of all it's a convertible and I've always wanted one and secondly, the Boxster S is faster in real life than the standard 987. Oh, and of course the money saved was a big bonus.

Don't know if any of you guys rewad 'EVO' magazine but a couple of months ago there was an article of the 987 S vs the 997, both cars were raced round the track by an experienced racing driver and the boxster got consistently faster lap times. 997 was slightly faster on the straights but the boxster more than made up for it on the twisty bits.

That said the 911 shape is to die for, if I were rich I'd buy both!
