I was thinking more along the lines of a Cayman S, I totally forgot about the base model.

IMO, the Cayman is one of the better looking Porsches. I wouldn't say it has the best bang for the buck, but it's a great all around car.

Dang it, maybe if she had zoomed out a bit we could have seen the FT-86 following it around like a little lost puppy.

im liking the reduced overhang, that's always been one of my pet peeves with porsche's 911. mid engine is good.

Not bad! Looks a lot better than the current model but if I had 60K to spend on a car, it wouldn't be a Cayman.

Ditto.

M3, 08 Audi RS-4, used C6 Z06, IS-F, just to name a few.

The only other option that makes sense against a cayman S for the price is a M3 or a Vette. I would never consider a IS-F or a RS-4.

In America a Cayman S starts at $62k and I'm betting money the FR-S will be about 24-25k so your math is off. More like 2.3X more expensive.
