Cayman/Boxster? Not really...

So I'm getting ready to buy another car in the next year or so. Not really planning on getting rid of the FR-S. It's a great track car and fun in the canyons. I'm looking at the Cayman and Boxster, pricing them out. They sound like fantastic cars. They are fantastic cars! Then I realize that I'm paying 50k + for a car, and more likely 70k+ for a car, that really just isn't that fast. I mean, it's not much faster around a track if you give the FR-S slicks and some coilovers. The FR-S is already more than fast enough for the street. The Cayman isn't a rocket in acceleration. It's just not enough to justify itself.

Yeah... so my car search continues. I gotta say, though, that the Tesla 90D is a freaking rocket ship. Now that is acceleration! Too bad it's so damn expensive and big. Do I really want to spend 120k (P90D + insane + jump seats) on a car that large? No. I want the new roadster, damn it.
