Hmmm not sure about that. Some people opt for a Cayman over a 911Pondrew wrote: ↑Sat Nov 20, 2021 11:31 pmFirstly it is still (and always will be) a 'poor man's 911'.
Admittedly the Cayman has come on leaps and bounds in recent incarnations, but still a 911 'light'.
Secondly, there is no need for an apostrophe in 911s. It is a plural, plurals don't have them. No need to thank me

I was going to add, the poor man's 911 quotes died about 10 years ago now. ..Boyo wrote: ↑Sun Nov 21, 2021 10:53 amHmmm not sure about that. Some people opt for a Cayman over a 911Pondrew wrote: ↑Sat Nov 20, 2021 11:31 pmFirstly it is still (and always will be) a 'poor man's 911'.

A manual Cayman RS would probably be my dream car!

I have had 3 x 911's
I have had one Cayman...
The Cayman knocks them out of the park..
Its a saying in the Porsche world "if you wanna go fast buy a 911,but if you wanna go faster buy a Cayman"...
True that..

A manual would certainly command a premium in years to go, if only to avoid the expensive pdk repairs.
What I did find a bit annoying with a cayman was that as there are no back seats, that you cannot adjust the driver seat very well without hitting the box behind the seat.

How many 911s (sic) or Caymans have you owned?

Yup!
Extremely unlikely, but the friend I would buy it with has a good relationship with their opc, they've had carrera gt, 991.2 speedster, 991.1 GT3RS etc through them, so there is a small chance.
I didn't watch the whole thing but there is a vaguely interesting comparison done by that mischa guy. I didn't realise but the Cayman also loses the multi link rear set up as well as the double wishbone front.
Lord knows what the new GT3RS will be like

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Cayman has the engine in the right place (compared to 911) and without the unnecessary seats for starters!
