I checked out the 987.2 boxster s and caymans and think their great! But I think something cheaper overall would be a better move for me from a cost to maintain standpoint. Are 09-10 CS’ cheap to run or similar to my gt3? The thought about being Porscheless is a bummer, but that’s life.

I recently drove a 2007 s2000 and thought it was fun and raw. However, I had to drive it at 6k and above to get it to move quickly. Not sure if that would get old daily. I am looking for an ND Miata club w/ brembos and recaros to test drive as well. Is a BRZ worth looking into as well?
I came from an s2000 CR and yes you need to keep it above 6k in vtec to get any pace. but ND miata or BRZ aren't any better in terms of excitement and fun. and are slower stock to stock.

+1 For Sure and you learn how to really drive
