Probably less than 15k to beat a Cayman or "S", but to beat a GT3 RS…. $30k-40k?

I still can't get what Jeremy Clarkson said about the Cayman or "cockster". Porsche did an amazing job making the "cockster" fit inbetween the Boxster and 911 in every category; engine size, horsepower, price, and performance. He was pissed that they took a car that could have been so much more, and made it "enough". BTW am I the only one who things the "cockster" is hideous from the back??

I love Top Gear, and Clarkson can be very funny, but some of his opinions are hard to understand. But, it's those crazy statements that make the show worth watching sometimes.

Oh, and the Cayman rear would look great as the front end of some other car :icon17: But otherwise, yeah, it looks a little VW Beetle-ish.

Needed more power, but the handling was unreal ( mine was totally tweaked out for auto crossing). I miss the targa top and open air feel that car had, so much so I think I will be going to a convertable of some sort in the future. Nice to see another 914 aficionado :tiphat:
My dad had a 914 when I was a kid, I loved that car and it got me into Porsches. Can't tell the front from the back but that was a great little car. He took out the engine to work on it...but abandoned the project and never put it back in.

This talk about Porshces makes me wanna put my 944 back online and use it as my DD.

Interesting article as I just bought my 370 last weekend, I test drove both cars repeatedly and walked away wanting the 370 more, money was not a factor.

The 914/6 was a beast, had the 911 engine in it. I know a lot of guys that replaced the 4 banger with the 6 and turned the car into a rocket :yum:
