The Cayman GT4 is nice. But $$$$ after you add everything up on them. I thought about one too, along with a few others.

Did they fix the oil starvation issues the old Cayman had? That spurred a friend into trading his for a 911 and buying a C5 for the track. :P

My plan is to sell trailer and Z (and possibly Tundra) and replace with on occasional street car that I can take to the track 4-6 times a year with no mods - just brake fluid and a second set of tires. That's why I think the GT4 makes sense for me... I've also toyed with the idea of getting a much lower priced Focus RS, but want to see how it does on the track first. In any event, I'm getting frequent updates from my local Porsche dealer as he searches. Nothing yet, trying to convince me to consider GTS but I won't have it!

So, any thoughts on how I price & market this Z? Chuck em out there, or maybe send me a PM please! Thanks!!

Expecting about $95K out the door... it is rather steep and I'm going to have to start buying track day insurance for sure.

Think so. Hope so! As with GT3, GT4 includes integrated dry-sump lubrication and on-demand electronically controlled oil pump.

I instructed a guy in a brand new Cayman GTS yesterday, awesome car.

travisjb 02-28-2015 05:14 PM

^ Bet it is... The GTS would be sublime - but I'm looking for a little more of a rough edge

And both my neighbors across the street got '15 GT3s... the only way I can think to 1-up on my budget is to get a GT4 :)

Ever sell?

travisjb 05-05-2015 06:20 PM

Not yet. One guy was interested but he's now telling me the front bumper cover is too ugly! Lol

Lol, that wings ugly, I'll take that off your hands to help out haha.

Sad, so many selling. First spohn, you, now Martin. No real track people left but Clint and maybe 1-2 more I'm forgetting.

Thanks. Sad to leave... this community is at its best on threads like this one where we are contributing to each other's builds.

The world of track junkies is not so big... we'll be seeing each other around I'm sure

Hey, anyone know where I can get a Nismo front fascia? Time to call a bluff...
