^^ I've driven all of them,personally it will be the Cayman.But be aware that either 996 or Cayman are not easy to work one & can be very expensive to maintain both in parts & labour.As for the 951 lot of nice example around for sale & it's a car that you'll be familiar with,the draw back are their age.If I remember some of your replies you don't gather much to 968s but if I were you I'll think seriously about one,for the price of the 996 you could get a late 94/95 -968 Coupe with low mileage & parts/maintenance will be about the same as an S2.
