Please refrain from providing further reality checks.
There are plenty of "limited production" GT3s. I'm fairly confident they will try to sell as many Spyders as possible.
A/C can be added as an option. As for the Cayman idea, I agree but I doubt we'll see it as it would probably pose a threat to GT3 sales.
But I can't afford a stable of cars. So, since this would need to be my daily driver, I have a few nits to pick. In Southern California, living without A/C would be rough. Also, methinks that tarp roof would be a pain the neck to put on/take off.
If they made a Cayman version with a fixed roof, that'd be my choice. I'd only add A/C, and it'd still come in at around 2850 pounds and be a great daily driver and also a track killer.
Porsche, are you listening?

The Spyder is getting quite the welcomed reception over at the 7GT3 forum...

SWEEEET ride! This coming from a guy who sold his boxter 4 yrs ago because, I too, felt it was becoming too much of a "chick car". Why is this the first I've heard of this new car? I read most Porsche magazines and haven't seen anything on it. Any idea of production quantity numbers? BTW, I agree...it needs AC- a lotta hot humid areas out there

A comment by Pete from Excellence posted on the 7GT3 forum:
Drove the car on Tuesday on some great sports car roads, and all I can say for now is that it feels lighter than the numbers suggest and that, for me, it fit into a certain category of Porsches that no Boxster has yet — a category that appeals to, say, the crowd that frequents this forum...
