A Cayman is nothing more than a Boxster with a hardtop, didn't you know that? Or am I missing something from your post?

As stated above, the Cayman is a hardtop Boxster. Essentially they are a Boxster Roadster and Coupe, with minor differences. Just like the Boxster and the Carrera (until recently) share most of the same front end panels back to the front doors.

I was surprised (pleasantly) to see the Boxster spyder beat the Cayman R in this month's excellence. I was under the impression a hard top was always more rigid and more "race worthy". Seems the spyder proves that wrong. I'm not sure how I'm going to like a bigger boxster, I truly like the 986 to this day but the spyder is looking pretty good or maybe even my first "S" version of a Porsche, after all there are a lot more Boxster S cars to choose from.

well that was a little misleading in that they raced the cars on a karting track.
I'd like to see both around Monaco or Laguna Seca.
But the fact that Boxster Spyder drove like a kart with 300+ hp is a selling point unto itself.
