Agreed. Purists are a pain in my ass. Nearly every car Porsche has made has been a success and as as much as I despise the 986/987 chassis it’s almost without argue the best thing(for the company financially) Porsche rolled off their assembly lines. From them have derived the Cayman, which is an excellent chassis on pretty much all accounts. Band for buck I would hands down buy a Cayman S before any of their newer 911’s(except GT3). A four liter direct injected Caymans S with GT3 suspension geometry would be the pinnacle of the newer chassis
The front engined water pumpers(924, 944, 968, 928) were great cars, and I wouldn’t be shocked at all to see a similar lineup in the next five years from them to fill a void that is currently there.
The Cayman S is hands down the best all around car I have ever driven. If I can’t sell the 911, I will prolly end up selling the GTR and LGT in favor of getting a Cayman S and money for wheels, coilovers, full exhaust. Those cars make me look like Schumacher.
