Oh no, you did not mislead me; thus, no need for the sorry.

If you are paying $250K for a used 997 GT2...

Just found this article online: The Year's Worst-Selling Cars - Forbes.com
Cayman is one of the worse selling cars of 2010 - there should be lots of deals, especially as we get late in December.

I rode in a TPC turbo charged Cayman and that was one of the most amazing cars I have ever experienced; it was amazing how nice the car felt running at those power levels, however I have not rode in a TT370Z yet so I cannot compare.

i'd take a Cayman R in avocado green

That would be ridden not rode. No problem!

I stand corrected, finals week has obviously taken a toll on me!

I have a friend who is planning to make the leap from a C6 Corvette to the Cayman R. That car will be interesting, a good 400 pounds lighter than the Z with the same power. A very nice track toy indeed. Not for me though, I like cars I can work on myself, the Porsche's are a PITA in that regard.

Yes. I drove a Cayman S extensively on back country roads. I would say it had a huge advantage over the Z I now own, but it definitely had a nicer ride, was arguably more nimble/agile, felt more luxurious and gripped like a cheetah. Pretty impressive, but so is the Z.

I got the Z because it does many of those things quite well, some nearly as well, and the Cayman would have been a stretch for me. The Cayman is still a dream car for me because of the whole of its "positives", but it is important to balance all of these factors. Not to do so is a possible set-up for hardship and worry later. My 2 cents.
