Bought a Cayman S

Shamu

The second gen 987 had significant motor upgrades. Direct injection, new cam configuration , much better oiling system. HP jumped from 295 to 320. Few little cosmetic touches. Oh and headlights that actively move to point around turns. Lol. Original sticker for car was $84k new. Got it for about half that cost. PCCB brake option is crazy expensive but then brake rotors only weigh 12 lbs! The porsche warranty made deal for me. It's like a new car. Perfect paint, interior looks new. No chips in windows. Dealer said its cleanest lease return they have seen. I'd agree.

I have been trying to figure out how much lighter a pccb equipped cayman s is compared to regular steel rotors but suspect car weighs less than 3000 lbs. ... Not many new sub 3000 lb cars with over 300 hp these days .

My only real complaint is that the low end is still lacking with this high strung 3.4 liter flat 6 motor. Much better than my old Boxster but on street you really have to commit to go fast. It sort of reminds me of a more torquey s2000. My Mini Cooper S has more comfortable low end than cayman s. Z had a little more Low and mid range with the 3.7 but it's hauling around a lot more car. Top end of porsche is just sweet. Sings up to 7500 rpm where vq starts to feel strained and rough.
