Although I haven't driven one, I understand the Porsche Cayman is supposed to be a unbelievable joy to drive. Even better than the other Porsche offerings. There is something about the styling on the new Porsche's that just don't sit well with me though. Plus I don't know if I'd want the stigma of a newer Porsche owner. I will take a 930 911 slant nose any day though.
As mentioned in my earlier post, Ford is really producing some great vehicles that have loads of power, but also competent suspension and breaking. I think they're out shining the European and Japanese competition. If it was between a new Porsche Cayman or the GT350R I think I'd have to go with the Ford. I'd want both under warranty though during my ownership. I hear the GT350R engine replacement is a $30,000.00 touch and I'm sure Porsche wouldn't be much better.
And this opinion is coming from a guy who drives the ultimate under-powered, light-weight, great handling champ, the DC2 Type R.
