Another Cayman vote, of the two.
Another 993 vote, overall.
Why not a..... um.... well..... uh.......
*you already have a built engine, 3071 MSM. You already have an M3. You already have a built WRX*
Why could you possibly need another car?

Jenn's...you've probably seen me post her car before-

When the MSM owner decides on Porsche...there is little question to what you should do lol (The MSM still resides at home too) BTW for those who don't know their Porsche lineup, it's a Cayman R to be exact....and yes it is a fine piece of machinery...though I've never driven it more than in and out of the garage to wash it lol

Oh I still have my miata, just don't need another convertible
I was wondering if the lack of an LSD in the Cayman would be an issue, detailed reading seems to indicate that some feel that it isnt others would prefer one. Time to go and drive a few I guess.
964 Singer-beautiful, but for around what 300K? it better be.

I was cross shopping the same two vehicles, I happen to like the z4 m coupe looks but the fact that the coupe production numbers were so low has driven the cost up.
I decided to go with the caymen s, high build quality and materials used. Fun to drive as well.
Fortunately/unfortunately a couple days before I went to sign papers I wa browsing Craigslist and came across a 1975 911 s that had a wide body kit install, 930 turbo brakes and the twin plug 993/964 3.6 already installed. Paid 13k cash and the only real work I have had to do is replace the original brake master cylinder and general maintenanc( a lot of that with air-cooled Porsches).
I vote caymen! (or hopped-up air-cooled Porsche)

OP, a Porsche? You're so NW Portland. I'm trying to think of something similar for the same kind of money and I can't.
My friend just bought an '09 Corvette. Drove it once and I want one. They seem to be hit or miss for people. Worth a try, it was comfy and easy to drive. Easy to get in trouble too.

I waste money on them!!! It's got more in suspension, brakes and wheels than a lot of people have in their entire miata. Same goes for the engine alone. True the body kit is fugly and Targas are hideous, but the ***** performs.
If the op wants something raw get something with the air cooled 3.2 or 3.6 in it. Otherwise caymen.

BAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ian- Yeah, it's just my personal preference when it comes to 911s. I'm sure the performance is really no different...besides, once you're sitting in it and driving the **** out of it, it's not like you're the one looking at it from the outside. I just can't get over the looks...much like the 986 Boxsters with the 996 front end.

I bought it as a future parts car for my 914 gt project( hence my bias towards the cayman), I've been enjoying as is for now.
The kind of people who typically like the looks drive trans ams and vw kit cars.
