except the Boxster headlights give it away! I guess they (PAG) didn't want to **** off the 911 faithful following with giving the Cayman 911 lights like they did with the pre-facelift 996 getting the 986 lights. That is a debate that still rages. I guess they clearly want to let the 911 crowd know they did not use any of the 911 platform that would cause visual confusion.

Tim....you are one step ahead of me always! Trust me, I have been through every iteration in my head thinking what a 997/997S/CaymanS/CPO Turbo/CPO GT3 would be like with all the mods I want to do. You know me all too well! 
AGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! MY head hurts just thinking about it

I'm also a self admitted 911 nut. The 911 is the car I've wanted since I was 10 years old. It's the car I built models of as a kid. It's the dicast car I had on my desk at work to remind me to work harder than anyone else, so that someday I could own one. So I have this visceral connection with the car that the Boxster encroached on.
However, the Cayman is so interesting that the thought of picking one up off of lease in 3 years just for a track use is starting to gnaw at my frontal lobe.
hmmmmm... frontal lobe.
