One thing about Porsche that is never mentioned in this "Cayman is great for the track" talk.
Unlike Chevy and their new C7/Z06, Porsche will not stand by their warranty if you should suffer an engine failure during a track event. This is true for GT3s despite all the built in track durability. So one has to imagine that they'll equally tell you to pound sound in a GT4/Spyder with only GT3 dep't suspension should there be an engine fire, coolant pipes bursting loose, a wheel flying off on fast corner (absurd scenarios for a Porsche granted
) .
I recall an interview with a GT3 engineer who said "the GT3 is like a track car for the street, it is not intended to be driven at the track, despite so many of our customers buying the GT3 only to use at the track". Someone should have reminded him that it's priced like a track car. Actuall a 996 Cup car can be had for less with enough left over to buy a used 997.2 for the drive home.
