Congrats! Excellent choice! Cross shopped the Cayman GTS with my F82 and really wanted the GTS, but needed a backseat for my Toddler. Jealous! Enjoy!

Recently, I was a passenger for my friend's best autocross lap in this model. Great car! He was running his AutoX set of Bridgestone RE-71S on OZ wheels. Last edited by dim635csi; 07-15-2015 at 09:38 PM.. |

Thanks guys. Again, it was needs and preference that drove me to my decision. The extreme subsidy also helped haha.
Hope to enjoy it for a while until I can upgrade to a GT. Still verboten for me at this point |

Congrats mate. I froth the GTS. Agree that the PDK makes all other transmissions seem relic. Did you get Sport Chrono w/ launch control? How is it? I want a GT4 but they're 230k here!

Or do you mean that it makes its power higher in the rev range and rather than losing steam anywhere above 5K RPM as the M3 and M4 do? Low end torque is nice when you have a strong top end like a Turbo does, but the sound, the visceral feel and suspension of the 991 or Cayman/Boxster chassis' makes the M3/4 feel flat out archaic in comparison in the way it handles and especially in how it soaks up and flows with broken pavement. There is more to driving than pure power, or we would all have C7's since they are faster than both a 991S or M3 but the 911 will win every time if you care about the tactile feel and pinpoint precision. |

Yes, that's what he implied, and he's correct...an M3/M4 not have "strong top end" regardless of what you do it. If you think it does after looking at the torque-curve, then you have no clue what you're looking at.

Source on those Cayman GTS performance figures? I'm a big time Porsche fan, but those numbers are pretty unbelievable, and I couldn't find any posts trapping anywhere near that. Highest I've found is 112mph and 0-100 around low 10s. Are you sure you aren't thinking about the 911 GTS, those number are pretty bang-on with 991 GTS figures.

I would think a cayman GTS with PDK traps maybe 114/115 considering the boxster GTS is 112/113. Not slow by any means. |

If a Porsche doesnt come with a "rich mans car" stigma I don't know what does. |
