If I remember correctly it was £60k or something.... which is what, $90k? Taxes will be different so total won't be a direct carry over but it gives you an idea.

Check out the pics below... but take note 385 HP out of a 3.8 Flat-6. Basically a detuned 911 with superbly better handling.

For the longest time, my mind was set on a used 911 Carrera S as a retirement present for myself. Now I'm going to have to reconsider, this car is beautiful.

What? The Z is a much tougher, better looking car.

The Z is not mid engine, it is not this at all. I love the Z but lets be real. This thing is on another planet. Great proportions, race proven motor/brakes etc. Not too big like so many mid engine machines. Id sell my soul and more for this - New Porsche Cayman GT4 Hits The Track: Video

I wasn't a fan of the Cayman design before the recent overhaul; but now - both the Cayman and Boxster are sex with four wheels.

One of the last few remaining, mid-engine, manual transmission options? I'm sold.

I drove a base boxster for a weekend and had an absolute BLAST. I cannot even fathom how amazing this car is going to be. And being a GT_ car it will hold its value well. You have to be crazy to buy anything else in this price range!
I agree they had to keep in 6MT only to not steal sales from the GT3.
With this car, were at the absolute peak of driver oriented sports cars. 6mt, RWD, mid engine, straight 6 engine for under 100k (even with the bucket seats). You can't get any better than that.

Believe it's a flat 6. ;)

I believe so too - horizontally opposed Boxster engine. Any know if it's dry sump (I'd imagine so)?

Using the technical definition of mid-engine, it is (FM). The center of mass of the engine is between the front and rear axles. But most people just assume that mid-engine only refers to the rear configuration (RM) that you see in most Porsches.

911's are rear engine cars. Not rear mid-engine. The motor is out the back. Boxster and Cayman are mid engine. Z might be technically mid but its got understeer initially like any other nose heavy machine. Mid engine in the classic sense has less.
