Will370z Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 looks rather nice, fair bit of cash though. http://www.topgear.com/uk/photos/porsche-cayman-s-black-edition-2011-05-06?imageNo=1 Quote
DoogyRev Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 Will, please delete this post, you will start giving Dave idea's again Dave........ If you look you will go blind Quote
350 Russ Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 i really dont like porsches. i dont know why but none of them do anything for me Quote
Maccaman Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 Yeah it only just beat the GTR in a race on 5th Gear. £55k more expensive Quote
Dblock Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 Yeah it only just beat the GTR in a race on 5th Gear. £55k more expensive youd save that after 2 services Quote
spursmaddave Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 I had a test drive in a Cayman a couple of months ago if only I hadn't just moved Quote
Chris`I Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 I'll keep my Black Edition ta, its more exclusive Just cant justify the extra price demanded by Porsche, atleast when they are brand new. Just doesnt have enough "more" of anything other than badge snobbery. I found the Cayman I took on track very good indeed, but not night and day better than my 350z (at the time) and certainly no better than my 370z. Quote
Ekona Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Yeah it only just beat the GTR in a race on 5th Gear. £55k more expensive You're thinking of the 997 Turbo S. This is a Cayman S. Quote
Carlin Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 My brother has a cayman s and Its a nice car and very smooth to drive .The zed is more raw I would say but still love it . And I think a bit funny looking at the back and all they look the same from the front . Needs a new look porsches Quote

captain Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Very nice. But having had recent tussles with 3 Caymans in my £8k auto where they were only marginally speedier, I can't see the point. Having tested a GT-R for 3 hours, however, I can see the point. Absolutely no comparison. Quote
captain Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Yeah it only just beat the GTR in a race on 5th Gear. £55k more expensive youd save that after 2 services Nissan GB have just sent me a deal for a GT-R with 3 years free servicing............... Quote
Chris`I Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Thought you got 2 years free as part of the price? Sure I heard that somewhere. Would also explain why so many become available after a short time from new Also made me laugh on Fifth Gear - they had to put the GTR up against a car costing considerably more from Porker to get the same performance. Had they done it on price point, theres no way the Porker would have won. Quote
Dblock Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Going fast for me isn't really the purpose of going getting a nice car IMO. After driving a mid engine car you understand. Quote
Ekona Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Good lord, me and Dblock agree on something!!!11 Spot-on fella. There's quicker cars out there than the Zed at that price level (Impreza would be the obvious choice ignoring anything German), but we all chose the Zed because it's a better driver's car and gives so much more feedback and pleasure from the drive than ultimate pace. Quote
Ricey Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 I find that the more obviously fast your car looks the less you feel the Neanderthal man inside us all poking at your brain going 'ooo ooo must......show everyone.....how.....fast ........car......is......oooo oooo ooo ' There's less to prove - perhaps thats why chavs with nasty chav fast cars feel the need to drive like cocks. I think the Cayman is a really stunning car and I don't really like Porsche's if I'm honest. Quote

Amen to that. Quote

Imo thats why Im not that keen on gtr's personally. The Z brand has never really been about going silly fast. Driving pleasure is what these sort of cars do, Id imagine thats why you got the c2 rather than a c4? Quote
Ekona Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 It's why I chose a 911 over a GTR, as well as 2WD over 4WD Quote
JetSet Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 And I think a bit funny looking at the back and all they look the same from the front . The back end view is the most attractive part of the Cayman IMHO and in fact I just love the entire design . Pete Quote
