Who's driving a 987 or Cayman?

[Tucker2]

I have an '02 BS and an '08 Base Cayman. Both manual. *Completely* different feeling cars IMHO. My Cayman is like a big shifter kart. Very stiff suspension. Lacking on torque, but everything else is completely off-the-chart fantastic. I just get the urge to drive like a maniac in the thing no matter what.

My Boxster S is essentially a really nice "Miata". (I've drove Miata's for 5 years....so not a totally uneducated statement). Much softer feel from the tires/suspension. Much more roll. The engine is great fun. Wish I had it in the Cayman.

If I were giving fun grades, I'd have to give my Cayman an A and the Boxster a B+. Both outstanding cars and I feel very lucky to have the option to take either one out on a whim.
