So prior to buying this car I had a 2003 996 Turbo, I loved the car, but it was hard trying to keep it up with some of the smaller shops in my area. I wanted something newer that would need less time as I am away for work a lot, I just wanted to have something I could really enjoy and not worry about as much.

This is what I got, a 2014 Cayman S with 7000km on the clock, it was 6 months old so I got the certified Porsche warranty with it.
I have already installed a Techart paddle kit and ordered 8mm front and 15mm rear spacers, the Techart front spoiler and the smaller Techart rear spoiler. Should have all the parts here next week.

That's a great looking Cayman. Do you miss the power of the turbo much?

Thanks, I do miss the power of the Turbo, but the roads in Edmonton are really bad so having PASM is much nicer. For day to day use the 981 is a better car, and well put together. The Cayman does a great job of putting the power down, and I was always worried about hard shifts into second on the Turbo so the Cayman is functionally faster with the PDK and launch control.
I will miss the Turbo however and I find myself thinking about if moving from a 911 Turbo to a Cayman S was the right choice. Overall I think it was.

I just ordered your ECS spacers this weekend too, 8mm and 15mm, will post pics when I get them installed.

I think it was, you really got a spectacular car for the price point. Thank you for the support remedys Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Your story is almost exactly the same as mine! I do find myself missing the power the 996tt had but every time I rev the 981 and hear the PDK shift I feel better about it! Not to mention the 981cs feels to me like it handles better (on thinner rubber). Maybe in 10 years I'll look at a used 991tt? Who knows - until then I will love driving the 981cs!
