would rather buy a 996 turbo with some techart body work , turn the boost up to 600 h.p. and smoke the doors off those late model ferraris.

aaaahhh yes...a 996 turbo, gives the eyes pleasure.

Are you interested in all those options on that Spyder if not I've been in this car, it is sweet: http://hendrick-porsche.ebizautos.com/webdetail.aspx?iid=8010746

They had a black one too that I like even more, but I think it sold.

I agree with Jacabean on the Gemballa, RUF or otherwise expert prepared cars as a exciting prospect. There are not too many on the market and even fewer PDK. It occurs to me this morning that I will have to see whatever I buy, god I don't even know if I'll like the view out the spyder and I am certainly not psyched about a 70K car with yet another plastic back window. The spyder premium puts it alongside the 2009 911 cabrio I drove at the dealer in price as well.

I have seen a video of a Cayman S beating a Ferrari 360 on a race track in two different video's and racetracks somewhere on youtube.

I would not be suprised if the Boxster Spyder is faster than the 360 around a race track.

Me either and the only criticism anyone seems to be able to muster is the top, general consensus is it's one of the best Porsches to leave the factory and the current weight champion of the lineup. When you look at the Ferrari the body looks massive contrasted against a modern boxster and the 2000 series of the Modena just looks old to me.
