| is a pretty one. It looks enough like a 911 and Boxster to looke Porsche, but it has a unique shape. | |

A review on driving the Cayman S

Replying to: royalred (Aug 01, 2005 4:11 pm) 1) A hatchback? I know it really maximizes the cargo room... but, I'd rather it be a true coupe... 2) It doesn't look like they can fit a sunroof in there.. but, I may be wrong..

Replying to: kyfdx (Aug 01, 2005 7:12 pm) 2) A sunroof is not available in the Cayman. I've driven a Boxster S for the last four years and think its a wonderful ride. The Cayman S adds more power, better brakes, handling, body tightness, and utility. Add in that everyone who's seen it in the metal says it looks better than in the photos and it looks drop dead gorgeous in photos. I couldn't resist and ordered one on Monday which should be delivered in January.

The Z06 has equal street practicality, significantly more raw performance, and costs the same. The Cayman has a better handling mid-engine configuration, more upscale interior (although I image slightly cramped a la Boxster), more class, and still acceptable performance (probably at a 350Z level). If the Cayman had the 381hp X51 997 engine and the DSG transmission it would be the hands-down choice. I am not fond of either car's styling. The Corvette styling says your compensating for something (and attracts police). They Cayman is just strange. Front grill is over done. Side intakes are a bit tacky, and the tail lacks strength. A 904 look would have been so much better. The Z06 has one interesting problem for a car that seems like a race car for the street: there is virtually no place to race it! It is not allowed in stock autocross or Solo I classes. It is so fast that drag strips will require a roll bar with front door bars; a big PITA. And the center exhaust on C6 Corvettes apparently precludes towing a tire trailer. Oh, the aluminum frame makes roll bar installation problematical. And there are really no track tires in the right sizes. Which way to go? Or maybe wait for an E90 M3 with SMG transmission? |
