2008 Cayman S Sport
Just got this in. 2008 Cayman S Sport in RS Green. It was located in Iowa of all places.
You Cayman guys knew something I have now learned: this car is fantastic! It is so fun to drive.
Reminds me of my past 997 GT3 in many respects. The cabin is small. You hear mechanical noises behind you. The steering is telepathic. It goes right where you point it. The clutch pedal feel is stiff and the shifts feel as short and quick as my 997 GT3. Brakes modulation and stopping is excellent. The engine is super responsive and with sport exhaust it has a nice tone. Once you approach the top of 3rd gear it is plenty of speed on the back roads, plenty of speed. I love driving this Porsche.
My plans are for several mods and this to be my track car. This could be a tough car to pass. Can't wait for next spring season.

Awesome! I love it. I've been wishing for quite some time that an orange one will fall into my lap, but it never seems to happen.

Very unique, do you have any idea how many were made in that color? Also, the guys up at Holt are outstanding, I go up there any chance I get to just oogle at their inventory and how clean it is.

Beautiful! I just missed out on this very car but did find an RS orange one soon after. Post some pics of it in action. JRItt if you are still interested in an Orange Croc let me know. I can be reached at ndsouza617@comcast.net
