I've had my Cayman S for nearly 6 years and had been toying with the idea of upgrading it to SVP's Cayman SV spec. Question, would you invest £12k in upgrading a £16k car.....which will then be probably worth less than an original, or would you save (very) hard for the real thing, the GT4 and hope it becomes a depreciation proof toy?
Parr have an '06 Cayman Turbo for £25k. Might be worth a look.Carl_Docklands said:
no pdk-s means that this car cannot avoid the ''almost" label of the Cayman R.
it's been nobbled for no apparent reason, again. are they really going to race in gt4 with a manual box?
frustrated at the situation of Porsche treating the Cayman like a second class car. damnit.
It means it's not a direct competitor to the GT3 - surely that makes sense?it's been nobbled for no apparent reason, again. are they really going to race in gt4 with a manual box?

Besides, they're not going to race with a PDK-S. Cup cars use Holinger boxes.

Agree, they have to keep it below the Carrera S, on paper at least. Given his comments about power, it's obvious not a detuned Carrera S engine and is likely putting out the same 400hp. I'm pretty confident it would better a manual Carrera S in a straight line. it's been nobbled for no apparent reason, again. are they really going to race in gt4 with a manual box?

It will be a much better drivers' car though.

Looks great. I must be getting old as £65k seems like a lot for a Cayman.
It's because we're getting old. You can probably spend £40k speccing up a new Golf.
Exactly, go mental and spec something like kermit green or that even more lurid almost kawasaki green seen on some 70's 911s if they can do it. I suspect though many of them will be white. My favourite would be the solid blue seen on some of the shots floating around on the net, looks a bit lighter than Maritime (my all time favourite Porsche colour) but nothing like as light as Riviera.
Available on the German configurator. Speccing the right options (such as buckets, Clubsport and a few niceties) makes this a €100k car essentially. You need to option the normal sized fuel tank like the 987 R and Spyder at no cost too if you want it to have range. Dunno if I am convinced, but it will certainly be a great car.
