I fancy a track day toy with flappy paddles. You can keep that stick in the middle as far as I'm concerned that old hat(-:
Anyway, my ultimate car would be the obvious GT3 991, but to be honest I can't help but think looking at the numbers coming up for sale the values are going to slide. I've done the 996 and 997 GT3! So what's my next best option that is readily available, I can't do waiting lists. Cayman perhaps.
Opinions please this isn't about residual as such but I don't want to lose my shirt!
Cheers
Steve

LCA: most probably lower control arm.
OP if a track day toy at the crazy end of the scale is what you are seeking this may interest you:

The new Zenos also looks interesting

I like the idea of a trackday special but I get the feeling you'd have to be handy with the spanners which I'm not unfortunately.
I've got an Exige LF1 at the minute for track days but I want a flappy paddle gearbox!(-:

Yep, fits the bill perfectly!
does it ?well with adjustable LCA and a few tweeks may be.
Not a track car out the box imo.
I am interested to know what would be a better track car strictly "out of the box" especially taking the requirement for flappy paddles.

My car is most likely more reliable than a stock RS as it has 120kg or so less to worry about and many systems deactivated. I only get involved with the spanners as I'm a little strange in that respect
there is no extra servicing required than a stock car. If you need paddles you need paddles, good luck in your search Exilge V6 has to be the best bang for buck for a track day car, but if you need paddles........
What about the new Evora 400S with IPS. Ok it's a slush box and on the old car was a tad slow to change from paddle shift to actual change of gear, but on the new car it's much better (although not PDK levels) . Also faster than your car round Hethel track.

0-60 in 4.1 secs and 186mph, can't be too far off a 991 GT3 at half the price of a 2 year old model ? BTW I do think the 991 GT3 is the nuts, at list price, however not the 2ns hand prices.
Should get a good trade in too , with a sought after LF model.

Praise indeed, especially from a German magazine !
i expect the lighter cup car on nitrons is at least 10% better again in terms of dynamics/suspension etc.
shame the cup R with teh paddles isn't road legal
