Had a GT4 and a Cayman R, sold the GT4, kept the R, you have to drive one to appreciate it

A few of you GT4 guys have done this. Interesting......

White Cayman Rs are the fastest, I hear.

My MT (white) R was way more fun on the street than my GT4. Better gearing was the primary factor. Also felt less bulky.

Fellas - I just spoke to the owner; since spring is now here in the northeast (finally!) and driving season is just around the corner, she asked me to lower the sale price. Asking price is now $59,500.

Interesting indeed, I guess my wife and I aren't alone.

We currently have both a Cayman R and GT4. The GT4 was intended to replace the R, with the expectation that it would be better in just about every way, but we've been unable to let the R go.

I agree with the comments above. While the GT4 is outstanding, the R has better combination of gearing and torque curve for the road, better steering feel, and feels smaller and lighter, more like a go-kart.

R owners, is the R that much more uncompromising as a daily driver than a regular Cayman S?

I agree with Manifold 111%, nicely stated. I did have a Cayman s before my Cayman r and I did not perceive the ride any harsher only more connected. I would not buy another cayman unless I could get the X73 suspension....love it

ACF, I don't use my CR as a daily driver (weekend Southeast WI country road driver, mainly) but I don't see why it could not be used as a daily driver. It would make a better DD than my 993, IMHO.
