I drove an 02 911 recently that has the 3.6, with 3 pedals and it was quick. Probably not as fast as the E39 M5 in a straight line but probably can leave it on the track... with the right driver... I didnt like the way the car felt with all that weight back there. Im curious how the Cayman will feel with the same motor in the correct sports car location

Ive driven several Caymans, mostly 'S' models... I cant imagine what a ~200bhp Boxster from 98 would feel like but it certainly wouldnt be as good as a 24v E30Simon

edit: seriously if this motor BOLTs up to the Cayman transmission Im in trouble.Last edited by 2mAn; 11-13-2019, 10:51 AM.Simon

Boxters are just a smidge above miata in my book. The newer Boxters are better looking but still...
Caymans do look good.
Yeah I was talking about straight line performance with the regular 911. I did a airstrip event and got to race a 911 down the strip. Also went against an e55 AMG...barely got beat by him.1990 325is

YES it looks like shit and you feel and look extremely gay driving one BUT it's a pure drivers car. No bullshit in the cockpit, engine in the right place, makes all the right sounds, two seats and modest power, so you can wring it out without the fear of loosing your licence.
Hard to beat for the money IMO (>3000)

Get a hardtop for the Boxster and your golden, 5000$ lotus elise killer if you gutted it. My co worker had a Caymen S that he tracked for about 6 years and sold back to a dealership for a bit less than what he payed for it, he put a bunch of cool GT3 parts in it and it was clean. He said there still got a bit of value to loose before they will eventually go up.
My elderly and gearhead neighbor wants to sell me his Mercedes Benz Gullwing replica car that i'm pretty sure he built before I was born. Might be cool, defiantly needs restoration he repainted it in the front yard 10 or so years ago.
Edit:
30 seconds on craigslist and i already found one.

If you have balls you could even find a Boxster or Cayman roller... but you have to be stupid like me. I know of a complete 987.1 -S with a dead motor, taken apart. Asking $10k, clean title. Throw a 4.2 Audi V8 and you have a baby R8 for a fraction of the price... so tempting... you could also just buy another Porsche motor, but they arent cheap unless you want a basic 2.7 or something ...Simon

there is a roller 06 987s in Seattle that needs a ton of work, but he wants like 3k for the set up so there your that much further ahead......
No affiliation just something I ran across a couple days ago and this line of discussion reminded me of it
