Porsche claims they will make as many of the Cayman GT4 as they can sell. A limited option one should be affordable within 3 to 4 years or so. So far my 997.1 been very reliable and not all that expensive to keep running well. Long as you buy a good used one, they are fine.

got me curious so I went and looked.

the cayman GT4 is nice but the major fail with it is they left the PDK tranny on the shelf. one of the better DCT's on the market but they decided to not use it at all. not even an option. 6MT only.

good job Porsche.

:facepalm: People bitched when Porsche removed the 6MT from their cars. Now that they've put it back in, people are bitching there's no PDK option on a drivers car. :shakes head:

That being said, that PDK is one helluva tranny :yum:

Right?

Cayman GT-4 or bust. The Cayman/Cayman S are ugly and just [slightly] beefier Boxsters. :barf:

debatable.

I would possibly get a cayman through the auction for the price but probably never a 911. even at the auction they are overpriced. at a dealership they're grossly overpriced lol

911 turbo S bases at like $183K? fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that lol

rather go get a McLaren 570S and smack the 911 around. the 570 is starting at the exact same price as the 911 turbo S and looks better plus has more powahhhhhhhh

(even if it's only 2bhp :stirthepot:)

Looks better is debatable, and the Porsche would probably do better around the track.

Not a huge fan of the McLarens (aside from the F1, SLR, and P1 of course). They look pretty plain and boring to me.

Porsche's are expensive, but hold their value (or increase in) very well.

The Caymen GTS is a very much upgraded, from the Caymen S. But a Caymen GTS is still pretty pricey but guys are wanting to sell them to get the cash ready for the GT4. The Porsche dealers are really screwing them on the trade, them really mark up the GTS Caymen (for now) as a used car. The 997 based 911 GT3 with a stick have gone up in price from the MSRP, since the 991 GT3 is PDK only. As I've learned, the Porsche world is a whole new experience....

MAYBE on a dedicated technical track it will post better numbers. As for a DD and GT car the S smacks EVERY car on the planet around (in its price and 10X TIMES above it).

Yeah, there prices are insane for a flat 6 pushing 400hp. It feels like there's a $30,000 premium on Porsche 911's.
