The funny thing about the Cayman R is that I like it more than my 991.1 Turbo S. If I sold one it would be the Turbo S and keep the R. The sound is better, driving experience is more engaging. The little flat 6 is great fun.

Interesting that you mention this. I too chose a G1 Spyder over my 2009 TT Cab. While I enjoyed the comforts and occasional turbo pin-you-back rush of it's power off the TT there was just somehting so alluring and special about the Spyder. I never regretted selling the TT and getting the Spyder. Plain and simple driving joy.
I think what he's getting at is that Cayman R and Boxster Spyder prices are basically the same.
Yep, CR/Spyder are basically priced the same. There is a bigger difference in price between manual/PDK within each model than there is CR/Spyder with the same transmission.
Just adding the 6-speed manual alone while keeping the sofa seats yields a price similar to a PDK car with 1/2 to 1/5 the mileage. In the last 12 months on BaT:
wow. Thanks for the heads up and for also opening my eyes to the Spyder. To be honest now I’m trying to learn everything I can about the 987 Spyder. It seems to be often compared to a GT level car. I didn’t realize it was such a rare and powerful car. I’m new to all this as I recently just purchased my first 997 Turbo.

much money will get you one with less than half the mileage.

The 987 Spyder and R are like siblings... R used many parts for the Spyder, plus some additional. Cayman R is rarer than the Spyder. I recently posted in another thread why I'd have a 987.2 Spyder if I was forced to have only one Porsche. Phenomenal vehicle and a steal IMO.
I bit the bullet and ordered the FVD exhaust that @doworkexotics has. Listened to his video a LOT before pulling the trigger. I already know my wife won't be happy with the increased noise over stock, but she doesn't like riding in it anyways....
Congrats! You will love it. Post a video/let us know your thoughts when you get it. It has been the best modification I’ve done to the CR. The small 3.4L is so rev happy and the sound accompanying it is lovely. My buddy @Bxstr agreed that it has the Porsche flat 6 howl sound. I love it.

Congrats! I also have the same and it's a blast!
Please post your thoughts once you've had it installed.
My wife pretends not to hear the noise. One day she may break! :-)
