I came from Sprint Karts in the distant past and this is the closest I have ever had to that neutral, rotation in the small of your back performance sensation.
This is definitely the best handling car I have had. I'm assuming no reliability issues with your Cayman if you DD is that long?

I also just recently purchased a 2008 cs in basalt black; I've owned a e36 M3, mkv gti, and recently a 2012 c350 coupe. This is obviously, by far, the most capable car I've owned. With that being said I work for a high end luxury auto manufacturer so I get to drive all sorts of sport sedan, sport coupe, etc. type cars all of the time.

I was looking at getting into a c63, m3, and STI. Needless to say I chose the right car, the cayman is pretty much the perfect vehicle for me..However, it can be noisy on the highway with tire/engine noise, and a crap sound system haha.

BTW... I chose this username when I was 19/20 yrs old, needless to say it's pretty funny now, but shoot I can't give it up I've had it since 06!

Congrats on the new car. I also looked at the C63 and STI. My friend just picked up an STI and it's one hell of a car, but I still prefer my Cayman S over the STI. It can be noisy but I don't mind it at all!

Congrats! Cayman S, like others have opined, is an amazingly fun car to drive. My favorite Porsche. Enjoy!

That said, any reason you did not hold out for BMW M4?

Have always wanted to try a Porsche. I am looking forward to seeing the M4 reviews as well as it in action.
