and taken test drives in the 987. I flat out liked the 987 better. Not better enough to spend my money upgrading but then I don't buy new cars and am a relative tightwad.

Money no object, given my choice I'd get the 987 and fit it with a spare tire from a 986 and an LN IMS if it was pre-2009. The 987 not having a spare is the one big complaint I've heard.

For the price, the 986 is the bargain and I still find joy in driving it even after 5 years. It waits in the garage with its top down for tomorrow and its 60 degrees...finally. I can't imagine the 987 would give any more fun ... how could it?
