She said.."Why doesn't Porsche make the Cayman available with the Cayenne V8?"

it would be twice as tall as the car. And the front seats would be in the trunk.

'Cause then they'd have to call it the 'Salt Water Croc' instead of the 'cayman'.




In before it's moved to OT.

After riding and driving the old 928, she hates the front wheel push and weight of her 2004 Accord EX coupe. I Think she would like a Cayman.

Thanks All!

There is also speculation that Porsche is puposely keeping the power rating lower in the Cayman so that the 911 is the more "desireable" car to buy. The Cayman is a better platform with its mid engine layout. There are a couple of companies that are doing conversions that add the more powerfull 911 engine. The cost of these conversions is CRAZY $$$$.
