If you've driven a Boxster on a track, then I'd suggest skipping the Cayman R. When I drove one at Laguna Seca it felt just like a 986 Boxster with M030 suspension. The only real difference was more power for the straights.

After giving it some thought I will probably drive each model Porsche they have since I am on the hunt for my next Porsche. I have test driven only the 987 S and 996 turbo so I need to drive some other models. I will admit the turbo put a smile on my face for about a week but I want to test drive a 997 S. Also, looks like all their models have PDK transmissions so I will get to experience what that's all about.

Agree. I was thinking of doing this too.
