I imagine that anyone who really wants one will be able to find one.
I suspect the market for a nearly $100k Cayman will be rather limited.
Also seems a bit anemic? Wasn't the Cayman R faster from 0-60? Or is it just typical Porsche conservative estimates?
I'll take mine in Voodoo Blue please.

Weird. The Porsche press release says US deliveries in July.

Kudos to the jokes peeps!
No joke-I am lusting after the GT4. I think its a divine combo of Mid-Engine + MT + GT3 part's bin + No Centerlocks.
Will revert back with my non-Flip Flop objective. Cool?

I thought I heard the rear axel was shared with the turbo, and since the wheels are the same size as the turbo, and since we know turbo wheels sorta fit on a GT3 ("winter package"), then it's likely someone can do a 5-lug conversion and use GT4 wheels on a GT3. (Even if it might need spacers to look just right)

On a separate but related note, we finally get a satin black wheel option. Another example of Porsche listening.

Apologize if already posted, but since a lot has been speculated about the rear suspension, Autocar says double wishbone -

the rear axle and forged aluminium double wishbone suspension are completely new.

Nice to hear AP back to a proper script regarding the manual gearbox. If you ask me he's dropping more hints about a manual gearbox GT3, backing up what Hatz and others have already communicated.
Rollcage attachment points and kill switch set up pre-installed! They're listening. Now let's see it in the RS.

I am glad Porsche has been listening.

No, I think most magazines that I have read when reviewing the GT3 and other cars (like Z06, M4) all marvel at the shift speed of the double clutch but continue to say they themselves would get a manual. I don't care how fast a PDK shifts. I would only prefer it if I am racing someone for money.
