The 911 is more like a motorcycle, needs more thought (i.e. slower entry) to set up for a corner and then accelerate all the way through, getting on the gas much sooner than front or mid-engined machine.
The boxster/cayman are like comfy go-carts. You can pretty much do anything you like but when they spin, happens quickly. I took my 997 out in an slushy icy snowstorm. It was a deserted time of day and I went to some warehouse streets that hadn't been salted yet. Had an epic drive even on re050a's (which for some reason, perhaps the particular slush, did not fall apart and make the drive impossible or white knuckle). In that low grip scenario, my 911 was the best 2wd/rwd car I ever experienced. This is why I keep harping on that it's the last car that needs the AWD treatment (at least up to 360hp - not sure about the more powerful variants).
If I had more money, and if I actually drove a bit (I do very few miles now on either car), I could easily see having another 911.
