996TT do you own one already? If so go with the Caymen, however if that is just a sn and you don't own a 996 T go with the c4s. Just my .02

No, the 996TT I was going to buy craped out on the PPI, so I'm Porsche Less at this point. The Cayman is 2008, Certified Pre-Owned until 11/13, the C4S is comming out of an owners fleet. Both absolutily perfict, think the C4S is the way to go. But it's a 2003 and is not warrantied.
I think I agree with you on the selection of the 996 C4S.

C4s is my vote. Only because you can put in a gt3 delete to get rid of the center console letting your right leg move free

Either would be fine. If you've never driven a Cayman, you should. Nothing like that rear-engine configuration. Less room inside so if you like the spaciousness of a 911 get that. If not, drive them both. Completely different animals and you may prefer one over the other. Either way you win.

A beautiful Caymen. Nonetheless, if I bought the Caymen, I would eventually long for a 911. " 911, there is no substitute. "

I own a 997.2 C4S and have to say I almost like the beastly look of the 996 C4S better. In addition, as said before, you will be longing for a 911 in a Cayman. No question C4S!

I would go for the C4S over the Cayman. I love the way a Cayman feels, but the C4S will definitely hold value better, is much rarer, and in my humble opinion, looks great.

Two very different cars. I work for a dealer and we have an '08 Cayman S Design Edition 1 here. I've driven it and was really impressed but I'd still go for the C4S hands down, I'm a 911 guy since 1999 and always will be.
