Surf, thanks for the link to the comments on the other site...interesting. I hear the same thing all the time about the cost of Porsche owner ship. I am the second owner of mine with 54k miles and have all the records. The cost of ownership was not high at all. Yes even the Indys charge a lot but if one is inclined to do at least a fair amount of their own maintenance these cars are not that bad, shopping around can also keep the part prices down. Some of the yearly costs I hear are amazing high.
I found the Oct 2005 issue of Consumers and they compared the new (at the time) 987 to the S2000. The comparison used the base 987. They clearly liked the 987 a little more but both cars were considered great open air sports cars.
You can't go wrong either way for fun and value...get both and enjoy them.
