it does not hurt to dream..
I have to agree with Jeremy Clarkson about the purpose of the cayman. It's price, specs all between the Boxster and the 911, a marketting scheme.
The car was not made to be the best it could be. As some people have done already, put the 911 powerplantant and you have a dream machine.

911 driving is more involved. Cayman suffers too much understeer in my own taste. Other reasons, 4wd, 4 seats.
But I like the Boxster a lot, for 40k less than its counterpart 911 cab I take the Box.

They are both great cars. Think about it; if it were'nt fot the 911, we wouldn't ever have the Cayman/Boxster to begin with. I love my 997, can't get enough of it.
That being said, my next car will be a Cayman w/DSG :!
