what do you guys think about the new 2009 Limited in production Mazda RX-8 R3.The package is similar to the old R1 Racing package they did on the previous RX-8 body style .Would this be a better car then my 2.7 Cayman? My girlfriend says I would have Buyers Remorse.

I'd vote for cayman. I had a 94 RX7 TT and now own a 911. 911 is a slightly faster car but that's the only remote similarity these cars have. Porsches are better is all aspects. I dont think they are even comparable....
