Could I have done a search first? Absolutely... but I did do a quick scan of the first two pages.

I was able to take the Boxster Spyder on a little autocross route a couple laps at an event and I was blown away by the handling. I can't wait to test drive the Cayman R. If I looked things up correctly, the darn thing has a wider wheelbase than a GT3.

What would you like to know? how it compares to a Cayman S? If i had a gen 1 car I would make the jump. If you already have a Gen 2 I would stick with your car. We are pondering collecting one and keeping it alongside the Spyder.

Default Wondering just how much and severe the "lightening" on this victor was!

Doesn't appear Porsche went anywhere near what they did for their Carrera RS of yore. Wonder if they'll get even more strippy with the Cayman?

Loving my '11. can't say enough good about this car.

I'm looking at trading in my C4S for a Cayman R... It fits what I'm looking for in a Porsche (manual, lighter, less frills).
