I hit the limiter a few times in five years with my 987.1S Cayman but only in first. That's a few times in 34k miles.
Porsches are also comfy enough on the highway for two or less. Horses for courses...
Those who don't like an e39 m5 are unlikely to love a b8 or b8.5 s4, no matter how capable that car is, it still has very oddly weighted steering and has an overall digital/synthetic feel. I think a lightly chipped GTI (and by extension the Golf R) is way more fun to drive.
But we are all different. I know nothing about autox classes. From videos that I watched, I would not have been able to get a 4-cyl Camaro, the v6 and the SS both sound so good.

I agree with a Boxster, but to your point, it has to be a 6-cyl. I dunno that I would want a turbo Boxster. The prices are also prohibitive.
