Bought a Cayman S
 

Bought a pristine Porsche Certified 2010 Cayman S with 30000 miles. Very rare carbon ceramic brake option, PASM and full Chocolate brown leather. Nice thing about certified car is that it comes with 2 year 50000 mile warranty.

Been wanting a nice 987.2 cayman s for a while as porsche figured out all issues and significantly improved car. Direct injection and much better oiling than original 987 .1 model. The carbon ceramic brakes are just incredible! And Pasm suspension is so cool as with push of button I can go from nice firm sport setting to very comfortable street setting.

It's fun contrast to 370z as cayman S is much more balanced and refined. And car in stock form is just so good! No understeer even with relatively small stock 235/35/19 from tires. And dang can it put power down better than the Z. Z is great value and I loved retro feeling in that car but man forgot just how capable newer Porsches are compared to other cars. There certainly are faster cars but Porsche just nails the balance thing.

Sweet! Good for you and nice find. Never knew that there is 987.2 sreies of a cayman. How much you got it if you don't mind? You can pm me.

Congrats!

This plus Juan !

^ Equals- 911 lol

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.

Congrats nice upgrade love the Cayman s hopefully I will be able to get one also.

Nicely done! I've got the local dealer keep an eye out for one like this for me

I bought this last week…

^👍

Heck of a find with PCCB, hopefully they just last and you do not have to deal with wear on those. Prices for them in general have fallen but the P tax will always be in effect: will after market step in?

As for torque sure its down a bit but the weight difference is huge IMHO. Worse for us as we have the Roadster, so compared even to the base 2.7 the Cayman never feels under powered: I can only imagine how much better the S feels below 3K :)

Do you have PSE? If not, consider the Carnewal mod to remove factory baffles.

It will tickle the ear pussy on every shift: best mod I have ever done :D

awesome buy!

When are you going to gut it? ;)

Congrats, and a nicely detailed review too :tup:

Congrats! The 987.2 is a fantastic car for the money, and even better with PCCB. It's also a completely different engine from the gen 1, and it's ALOT better as far as problems occurring. Have fun with it!

Beautiful car congrats.. 911 is what I will be buying when the 370zs time comes something about Porsches and zs lol
