Great car! Enjoy. One of my best friends gets his Cayman GTS in about 5 weeks.

 

Is the S version the best car? I think there will be ample argument pointing to the GT 3, Turbo, Turbo S or even the Targa. I have an S but think that the base is more than adequate. Buy what suits your needs.

 

Well, although the GT3 and Turbo are "better" in many respects, many (including me) prefer a car without a myriad of scoops, giant wings and all the other effects that the Turbo and the GT3 are adorned with. I much prefer the cleaner lines without all those effects.

Yes, the base car is plenty for most. Personally, as I said before, I'd not want to spend $80K or more on merely the base version of any car

 

I think the S definitely hits the sweet spot in the line. They are all great cars obviously.

IMO only, I think the best one in the last year was the 50th. Best value for what it costs, rare and unique. The GT3 is IMO the best heavily tracked car, but I absoulutely hate the wingy bling for a DD and the gas mileage is a joke. The Turbo S is the best in its price class, by a wide margin, considering maintenence, reliability and build quality. I don't see the point of convertibles other than as an occasional gimic, so I'd get a Boxster S before I spent on a 911 for a drop top. Having a targa top is really cool, but the insanely heavy and rediculously expensive transformers thing they did is just silly to me.

IMO the winnner for the money is a low optioned S or a 50th, but they're all good.

 

I test drove both and was convinced immediately that I wanted the S. For me it is not so much the extra HP but more so the additional torque that is available at lower rev's. On the price: take into consideration that the S comes with a number of extra's that are optional on the non-S models so if you want (some of) those extra's anyway, it reduces the added cost of the S over the non-S somewhat...

Then I made the right choice with my C4S with body kit, I like Vicky

 

I chose topless Vicky

 

Is it possible to order the GT3 minus the wing? Maybe with a ducktail for instance.

 

That's totally sacrilegious but if you can get yourself into a GT3 you can certainly afford having a dealer install the Aerokit Cup rear wing instead.

 

I like what I saw, too bad i didnt have audio :-)

 

I just did a side x side comparison on the Porsche website and other then the HP diff. could not see what other options one gets when ordering the S. Please tell me

 

The overall paint is much better.

 

Got it. The $10k after the three options you get with it, make it quite a better deal. I'll pass on the S version when I order my 2015. I'll buy a chip instead!
