987.2 Cayman and make it your own. You can pick good condition ones up for $30K-40K. These cars are ROBUST, especially the base models. Closed deck block, forged everything, dry sump, excellent cooling, and a beefy 6MT. The biggest downside, especially if you're coming from the turbo world, is the difficulty in adding power. You can do headers and a tune, but at best, that might get you 15-20whp for thousands of the dollars. There's really no other way to gain power other than punching out the motor. But even in stock form, these cars are quick. The Base will do lower-mid 13s and the S upper 12s. These cars aren't about speed though. Handling and momentum.
The amount of rubber necking, "nice car", thumbs up, gas station talks, etc. I get from every age group, sex, and race is truly boggling. Most people think it's a six figure car.
