My NEW CAR its another PORSCHE!!!!

[Topless]

Looks great. The Cayman is my favorite current production Porsche. I believe it is the new flagship Porsche now. They just haven't told the 911 guys yet. Anyway a hardtop is probably more practical in Aberdeen Scotland... but we don't buy a Porsche because it is practical do we.

TuChat, I also think you are correct with the cayman, it looks nicer than the 911 imho when parked beside each other and when you sit in it your seating position is lower than a 911 and boxster which makes it feel more of a solid ride.

I love soft tops look at my car list mylast 4 have been cabrolets. I will keep the caymen till may/june then either get a newer Box S or 996 C4S cab or even Ferrari 355 spider depends on my mood at the time.

I have a few clients who are 911 guys through and through and 3 of 5 are changing to Caymens.

Possibly the standard c2 c4 are going to be oblique in the future.

I like both of those! Congrats!
But are those racing stripes on the black one, sort of out of place on such a nice car.

butt hat rear wiper completely kills it.

love the red

Congrats !! Good job. I would love to have a Caymen. I also think they are the best lookin of the Porsche line (although I love my boxster). Stick around on the forum and let us know how you like it.

Very nice, which do you think is faster, this new cayman, or the boxster s

Thanks for all the comments.

There is nothing in it! there is a lot more low down power on the Box S under 3k rpm etc, when the Cayman goes over 4k rpm it is very quick and has the box then.

I think it is neck and neck. stats are within 0.1 and 1mph to the good of the Cayman but those details make no differance in the real world

5 positives already:

1) driving position is 50% better
2) The gear change is amazing
3) The Exhaust note, its a Porsche sports exhaust £2k upgrade
4) every single person i pass stares, literally stops and stares from old ladies to young boys, 24hours of ownership and have had more people point at me than in 5 months of Boxster ownership
5) Thumbs up from a guy in a Black 997 turbo

Negatives:

1) No soft top
2) no red calipers
3) im tired i need to goto bed and cant stop getting up to see the moonlight bounce of its curves



Im going to de-badge mine it looks better imho and i wonder if it can be De-Snorcled?? does anyone Know?/

Thanks
James

The Porsche Design Cayman S does come with matte black stripes over a black finish. They're also on the side of the car.

i dont know if anyones told you this yet but.......i read your planning on putting your 986 wheels on the cayman. this wont work as the offset of the hubs is completely, hubs on the 987 are the same as the cayman so thats not a problem but changin wheels between the 986 to the 987/ cayman wont go unless your takin the hubs with you.

very nice upgrade!! love the cayman, looks more like a 911 than the current 911.

I'm going to be a wannabe cayman owner and just buy a Zeintop.
