i enjoyed reading all the feeback. My point wasn't really to start a direct comparison to the Boxster or Cayman - although I do think you *could* compare the Cayman to the new Z - as the magazines have already been doing.

I just wondered what the typical 986 owner thought of the new Z. I enjoy reading hte car magazines - I take most of what they say with a grain of salt, as I know they are not unbiased. It's still fun to read.

I haven't driven one - not sure I ever will. I did drive the 350Z, and honesty did NOT care for it. the new 370Z looks like they improved the car. I honestly like how it looks, but not enough to want to go out and drive one.

My boxster is a third car / toy. for THAT purpose, I want a drop top. In southern CA it's hard to beat a convertible on a warm sunny day. For the entrance price of a used 986 - the fun factor is one heck of a great deal. (as long as you get a good one and don't get killed on repairs.)

any of you drive a GT-R?? that sounds like quite a car!
