BTW since that pic, it has been lowered with the Tech-Art springs and has 7MM spacers on the all the wheels - it now just looks like it should have from the factory

keista...could be---I think that car has 18s and mine sits on the 19 inch sport design wheels w/ 5mm spacers.

I would really like the Techart steering wheel BUT its crazy expensive ( like anything that goes w/ Porsche isn't ?)

I have a good buddy in Trabuco Canyon. He has a Cayman S.
Next time I am out that way we should all hang out

ps--I am pushing him to get a MINI S when the lease is up on his wife's Z-4..

My 06 MCS and 82 911 SC.
Love them both !
On the track I prefer the 911, AX I use the Mini.

Also, I feel the 911 is much more comfortable on long drives but the Mini is a great DD and has A/C :-)

I picked up the 911 in 2006 and paid the same amount that I paid for the Mini in 2010.

Maintenance costs have been about the same for each one but the insurance and property taxes for the Porsche are lower.
