Good choice! Take more shots next to the S while you have it. I'd like to see a direct comparison aesthetically.

Call me crazy but I prefer the s2000 with a supercharger to the cayman. And the remaining 30k as a down payment on a property. Especially with all the mugen and spoon goodies on his S. My buddy has a gt3 and that thing is always broken. Porsche is not very reliable at all. And the parts and labor are astronomical. The Cayman looks nice though, especially in white. Congrats on the car, don't you love the smell of porsche leather?

rijowysock- I went to one meet a few weeks ago at the Blue Martini. Met some very nice folks. I work until 9:30 on Thursdays right now, so I can never make it. When my schedule changes, I will bring out the new car.

s2ka- My final price was just under $65,000, then add about a $3,000 for taxes. I paid about $67,000. The dealer here in Orlando is actually rated #1 of 202 dealers in the country for customer satisfaction/service, so I feel like I got a bit more.

And thanks for all the compliments. I love it. But, I do miss the S.

truths2k05- Not trying to start a battle here, but isn't Porsche ranked a little higher than Honda in Consumer Reports for reliability and build quality? A lot of people would be surprised by some of the results, such as Mercedes being ranked very low. And yeah, I thought about supercharging/turboing the S, but then that takes away from the heart of the car, and then you can really run into some problems. And you're right about all the "goodies" I put on it. That's why I stopped. Half the people admiring more expensive cars than their own could probably buy a more expensive car if they wouldn't have put soooo much money into their current one.

Very nice car, but for the money, I'd get something quite a bit quicker...
