I think you have it backwards. the oldest Porsche would develop your driving skill on the track most, as the car is doing the least amount of work. For the street the new tech smooth out the rough roads, save your butt in bad weather and the downsides of things like electronic steering aren't as damaging to the driving experience on the street as it would be on the track. And from a safety perspective I'm not crazy about driving old anything on the street. Four points might do the trick on the track but I wouldn't want to test them out in a wreck with an SUV.
The 987 Boxster Spyder is the last Boxster with hydraulic steering. The lightest Boxster made with at least 250 HP. And who knows if the 981 R will be offered in a manual transmission. Porsche is already ditching 7 mt in the 991 GT3. I think the 987 Boxster Spyder might be the last great Porsche roadster from a driver's perspective.
And apparently its still faster than than the 981 Cayman.
