Call me crazy i cancelled my GTS4.0 Cayman allocation today was waiting for 18 months and did get an allocation 3 months back which is supposed to lock in April 4th but went for a Camaro ZL1 for 2 reasons:
1. Very aggressive looks, much more power . The GTS looks meek to me , a good looking car but not aggressive enough
2. Price , GTS is very expensive and not sure worth the 100K + price
Dont flame me guys , if anyone is interested pm me and i can have you in contact with my SA, am sure they have a wait list which they can easily fulfill
I will keeo following this great thread and maybe one day become a porsche owner , a 911 manual which is my dream car but out of my budget

But overall, those are two completely different beasts and I don't think one can flame someone for preferring one over the other.
Personally, I don't really care about power - I want a lightweight, manual, naturally-aspirated, tiny sports car, the smaller the better, without sacrificing too much seat comfort (that's why I couldn't just stick with the ND2 Miata).

Personally though, i do feel like the GTS is very much worth the price its at. But for a different reason. The Camaro is going to be faster in a straight line, and it's going to outperform it at the track. However the interior quality fit and finish of the Porsche with how the car feels when you rev it out. The NA flat 6 is honestly such a joy to drive and there is a big feeling of refinement that you don't really get in lower priced vehicles.

I don't think it will lock mid day. It will be overnight or early morning.

Does anyone have a recent shipping schedule for Emden?
I'm looking for which vessels are leaving Emden now or soon headed to Jacksonville.
The Volkswagen Export Schedule is still stuck on week 7...

So mine has been completed, and has been waiting to be inspected since 3/22. I'm just here to vent I guess. The driving season as already started, and yet I'm still without my dream.
Quick question for those with experience with this. I will be trading in a 2011 Panamera 4S with appx. 90,000 miles (I will miss that NA V8, but I consider the 4.0 H6 an upgrade so I'm ok with that). I just got an alert that I need new brake pads - aside from the obvious safety implications, should I get them replaced knowing that the $1,000 or so that it will cost me is going straight to the dealer's benefit without me getting compensated for it ? I won't be driving it much (if at all) until I trade it in May given travel plans etc...

^^ if you are trading it in to the dealership I would not replace the pads. That will not change the value of the car and new pads to the dealership is barely any cost to them.

I don't think the power is the correct measurement here, but rather a power-to-weight ratio as the Camero is significantly heavier.
But overall, those are two completely different beasts and I don't think one can flame someone for preferring one over the other.
Personally, I don't really care about power - I want a lightweight, manual, naturally-aspirated, tiny sports car, the smaller the better, without sacrificing too much seat comfort (that's why I couldn't just stick with the ND2 Miata).

The major deciding factor is the GTS front end look , i dont like that tame look, not aggressive enough. if it was a GT4 look i would have gone for the lighter porsche
The price difference is 35K , thats also a significant factor, just my 2 cents the GTS is not worth 100K plus , if it was in 80's would have still gone for the porsche
