Guess my new car

Yeah they made that to fill in the gap between the Boxster and the 911. Dunno what the standard of interior is like on a boxster?

Wouldn't say no to one though and and I do love the arse on those.

They toned down the Cayman S so it wouldn't hurt sales of its bigger brother. I remember seeing one reviewer say that the chassis could handle much more power and its a shame they toned it down.

Either way i wouldn't grumble if i had any of these

Me too. Really nice looking car on the outside, even if the interior isn't perfect.

I've sat in 500 pound fiats that have more build quality

I will trade you her and the boxster, my merc, bmw and current couple of corsa's, all for your cayenne and 997 S

I think the blue interior colour does it no favours. My father has one, he specced it massively including the Boxster Aerokit and only got it to £56K so god knows how they got it to £58K as the Aerokit is about £3K I think! In black the interior is fine if you ask me.

Imagine one of these with the next GT3 engine (450 BHP) and LSD, some serious weight reduction and RS bits. I have said it before but I don't think you would find a better sports car anywhere in the world if they did that. Mind you, I HATE tiptronic with a passion, but seems to be the done thing around town.

That interior does indeed look gash.

Where did the P1 go then?

Will Gill · 2 Jul 2008 at 22:26

oh yeah lol, forgot about the font they used for the gears

Draeger · 2 Jul 2008 at 22:33

Will, that looks an awesome car.

Been thinking of giving up road biking and getting a performance car and the Cayman is on my list.

Enough with the interior pics, how does it drive, performance wise?. :cool:

Not interested in v/max, more interested in how it handles through the twisty bits.

Had a Cayman stuck to my Mille's backside a few days ago on some twisty bits and he gave a good account of himself, although I wasn't really trying that much, more having a "play" with him. :cool:
