Well I guess we will have to get use to being passed by these at the track.

When and if the time comes, I'd certainly consider a Cayman to replace my C4S. I've sat in one but never driven one. The interior feels more cramped and the rear visibility isn't as good as a 911 but the 911 is excellent in that respect. Every car is a compromise so it depends on what's important to you.

No big surprise. We all saw it coming. The current crop of the 987S with 3.4 matched our 3.4 996's and surpassed the previous generation 993 by a bit. The HP/efficiency just keeps going up which is great for all of us. 
Just look at how stupid fast a 997.2 non S is with the PDK.

I think the front is a improvement.
Back seats in my 4S have never been used except when I crawl in the clean the rear window. Performance on the track is important to me. So I am thinking that the 4S needs a stable mate.
I think our 996's just depreciated again.

I guess I don’t worry about depreciation; to me its an additional cost of ownership. The model is almost 10 years old, and it’s not a financial investment.
If you want to
about depreciation, think about it on a brand spanking new Cayman S! 
What Dell said too. Don't Honda's have ~300hp these days?
