If you can afford the 987S model that is definately what I would recommend ( I will actually be jealous if you get one!) because I have an '03 S that is the 986 chassis code and it is sweetness. The big thing is that tubi makes an exhaust for the 987 3.4 liter and not for my 3.2 ( I feel left out). If you don't have to have a convertable, I would sooooo go with the cayman S just because the handeling from the stiffer chassis blows the boxster ( and the Carrera S around nurburing nordschleife) out of the water!
Thanx...the Cayman is cool, but I've been driving ragtop roadsters for over 40 years (my first was a '58 bug-eye Sprite). You are right about handling...it was even noticeable in my 911 with the top up....a much tighter solid feel, but I'm strongly addicted to roadsters. Thanx for the advice.
