I've been really pro-Cayman lately and neglecting my T. Poor little T. (Or is that little t). So I just took it for a spirited ride. OHHHHH, IT'S GOOOOD. I think I'll keep it.

I've heard that before, love it. But never knew who said it. I actually thought it was Babe Ruth. Turns out it's George Best, a soccer player, I mean, a football player, best known for his years with Manchester United.

EDIT:

WC Fields — 'I spent half my money on gambling, alcohol and wild women. The other half I wasted.'
George Best — '
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds, and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.'

Saw this question posed a few days ago and not sure I saw a good answer. I got it thinking it was good insurance if my wife were driving the T but am happy to have it for myself. Here's a pic of how it looks in action when parking at work...

I've been shopping for a CPO Cayman GTS to track. I need a cheaper hobby.

I wish I would've configured my T with the Aerokit, my one regret. Oh well.

You were going for low key. I get that.

The standard eqt camera also let’s you know if something is near any of your corners while backing.

My OPC lent me a GTS 4 Targa last weekend pretty heavily specified. It had surround view and whereas I didn't chose it for for my original car, I am goin g to add it to my
new configuration. I had specified Park assist anyway and adding surround to that doesn't add that much in cost terms.
I would say it is very much worth it particularly down the Devon and Cornish lanes where I live in the UK.
The 992 is not a small car anymore!
So I definitely recommend it to @A J_Judi

Aerokit wasn’t available for me either. I bought a Porsche aerokit and had the dealer install it when my car arrived. You’ll have the regular spoiler should you want to go back. Another advantage of doing it this way is that you can custom paint your rear fins to match your car. An option only allowed on the GT cars.

I was in the same situation but with deviated stitching. They don't give you a discount. I went back and forth mulling over the value, but then I decided to delete the rear seats anyway
