The Porsche Cayman is the only Porsche I personally would by myself. Mainly because it is mid engine. That said, I have a question for you. How do you like the driving feel and dynamics of a mid engine car compared to a very capable Font engine RWD car like your Z? When I had my NSX, I became a life long fan of mid engine. Loved it in the MR-2, but I never owned one so never got to really experience and appreaciate the feeling of a mid engine until the NSX. A lot of friend's and/or internet friend's just don't get why I love mid engines so much especially when cars like the Corvette and many others outperformed the NSX during its later years. Anyway, just wondering how you felt about the mid engine vs front engine sports cars now that you have one.

The car
is the closest thing to riding a bike. It feels so nible, tossable and stable. My good friend had a NSX as well and although it handles very well but you could certainly lose it around a curb. Also, having the engne behind you and hearing every little mechanism in process kicks ***. I was always a 0-60 guy, but not anymore.
The build quality is superb and versus boxsters of the past (pre '05s) it is much more roomier and practical. The purr and grunt of the engine are perfectly mixed and the sound system is wonderful.
I really dont think I am going to touch the car at all as I like it straight from the factory the way it is.
Here is a pic of a members car who has the same exact modes, but his is clean and taken with a nice camera!

Sexy as hell.
I've already made up my mind to liquidate my Benz, and a few other cars and go back to a Porsche by spring. 'Tis the season for speeding tickets.
German is German to me, it's all good. One is sexy and smooth, one is sexy and fast, and one is confused about what it is (BMW), but they are all German and I love'em, so it won't hurt my feelings too bad to lose the benz this spring for a new porsche.
Love the car, congrats!
