986 or 987 ??

[Smallblock454]

I prefer the 986S. When the 987S (280 HP version) came out, i went immediately to the dealer, because i thought the exterior design is better. But when i drove it i was disappointed. To refined for me. The 986S is much rougher and much more fun for me. And i always wanted a drivers car, not a posers car.

Later on i drove different versions of the car 295 HP, 303 HP and also so 987 2.9 2010. Nice, but not that appealing to me. The 981 Cayman GT4 is the one i would go for, to be honest. But it's too expensive and my little old 986S is still enough fun for me.

I don't know guys but I just sold my '01 986 base & picked up a low miles '05 987S. I find the 987 better in all ways. Bose system is killer, the torque, brakes, sound & overall handling is better & more precise. I also really like the full power seats as I can tune my fit spot on. The added xtra HP makes this car a blast.

I suppose it's all subjective but those are my observations so far.
