Hello! I just purchased an 09 Cayenne GTS M/T, and I thought I'd join your forum. My DD is an old body S65, and on the forum I frequent for that other German marque, Rennlist is frequently referred to as the place to get Pcar info. I have been looking for a GTS 6 spd for a while, but they are hard to come by, especially with lower miles. Saw this one listed yesterday, so I pounced. Added a CNA warranty for a little piece of mind. Here is a pic, pardon the fact it is from a dealer website.

Very nice - congrats!

Congratulations on the 6 speed. We looked a long time for our 08. A GTS would have been nice, but it was out of our price range. The VR6 suits our needs, and I really appreciate Porsche offering a stick shift for those of us who prefer one.

Here's ours, on our land in western ND.

Thanks! Can't wait for delivery...chassis system failure on test drive. they are rectifying. That's why I bought the CNA. It does cover air suspension. It seems like one of the only true driver centric SUV's, at least the only one with a M/T option. Trying to find a short shift kit and total production numbers. My cursory search on rennlist and the web only comes up with other people looking for short shift options, and for production numbers I saw an estimate of 3% of total gts production of 15700, or around 471 manuals worldwide.

Will do. Pm me if you have pricing on CAI, secondary cat delete, short shift, and potential 93 octane tune

Ya man. Welcome to the club, I think there's less than a half dozen of us on here with the 6spd GTS. That makes at least 3 black ones too. I see u need the clear euro side markers too.

I'm not sure on the short shift, I would be into that as well. I have seen it talked about but no one I've seen actually has it I believe. The cat delete is a must though the sport exhaust with those gone is sweet.

Nobody makes a short shift kit for the cayenne yet. I did contact Numeric about making a small run, they were interested if we could come up with about a dozen orders.

It wouldn't hurt to email them again asking if they have any interest in making a run.

Will do. I saw that thread- never thought I'd own a car harder to get aftermarket parts for than my S65... I think two people said they were interested? I'm in.

I am "talking" to a company that has engineered several different Porsche model short shift kits, but it just comes down to if they could sell enough to offset the engineering costs ….or someone(s) have to help subsidize the engineering cost.

I did talk with Numeric and they had a definite interest.
