#21 of 295 Dual clutch transmission? by halfkraut Sep 07, 2005 (10:45 am)
I read rumors of a DSG type gearbox for the Cayman S, can anyone here confirm? Replies to this message: jrsl (Aug 27, 2006 11:31 pm) designman (Aug 28, 2006 4:46 am)

Replying to: royalred (Sep 02, 2005 1:35 pm) Royalred,   Sorry to be late to reply but I was putting miles on the Boxster S. The dealership called me Aug. 27 saying the ordering guide was available (online). I ordered it Monday the 29th. The base price is $58,900 and I added about $11,000 in options which included an expensive color and the nav system. My cost will be MSRP -- too new to start getting discounts.   The SMG transmission is not available yet. Porsche is working on one and hopefully it'll be ready for the 2007 models.

Replying to: avoguy (Sep 08, 2005 1:56 pm) I can't find any price details on the porsche site? Where is the ordering guide available? The dealership here was asking for $3000.00 over MSRP when the car is available. WHere is the dealership you booked your order? Getting this car at MSRP at this point is a very good deal.

Replying to: royalred (Sep 12, 2005 11:15 pm) Preview booklets and ordering guides are now available at dealers. You can also get them at caymanclub.net. I’ve heard nothing but MSRP so tell that dealer to take a hike. I can't wait to drive it either. I think this one is going to go down as the best pure driver's car around.

#26 of 295 RUF involvement by _da_paladin__ Sep 20, 2005 (3:32 pm)
I talked to the guys RUF, and guess what, they confirmed a new model based on the Cayman S...   Can't wait 4 it to come out...

Replying to: teds1 (Jun 08, 2005 6:59 am) Hey, HP ain't the only factor. The Cayman S is lightweight, those G's, Z's, and Subarus are quite heavy, and the Cayman S is a true track car, most to these cars can only go in a straight line...   Also, the Cayman has those strong points. From the offical site (England site), the Cayman has no external hoses, and needs a oil change max. (and other changes) every TWO years/54,000 km)!   Love the look, if you took a side-by-side comparison of a Cayman S and the species of Caiman, you can actually see them similar to one another.   Justan't wait for the RUF conversion...
#28 of 295 cayman 2 size question by jcp1958 Sep 22, 2005 (10:37 am)
does anyone have a feel/answer for whether the cayman S will comfortably seat a 6'4'' driver (200 lbs) and carry 2 sets of golf clubs in the trunk/boot??

Replying to: jcp1958 (Sep 22, 2005 10:37 am) I’m guessing the clubs may fit. However I heard someone who saw it in the flesh say the rear trunk area seemed smaller than it looks in photos. I think you could run into a problem with legroom and possibly headroom but you’ll have to wait and see. Needless to say, at 6’ 4” I wouldn’t be ordering one sight unseen. Do you fit in the Boxster? I would expect the same, maybe a little more headroom in Cayman. Again, just guessing.
#30 of 295 Re: cayman S size and 'Best in Show" by avoguy Sep 26, 2005 (8:13 am)
Replying to: jcp1958 (Sep 22, 2005 10:37 am) Reportedly, the Cayman S has been designed to have more headroom for the driver and passenger. Note the windscreen has slightly less rake than the Boxster and the roof line arches higher than the Boxster's convertible top. Also a sunroof is not offered or planned which they say is to give more headroom. I have a hunch given the curve of the roof it was also just too difficult to fit a sunroof.   Whether or not a couple sets of golf clubs will fit is probably dependent on the size of the bags. We know the clubs will fit but if the bag is too thick then there might be problems.   BTW, the Sept. 26 issue of AutoWeek has several pages on the Frankfurt Show. They chose the Cayman S as Best in Show and say the reason was "Because Cayman is sexy as hell, that's why--and looks far better in the sheetmetal than it does in photos, which don't even begin to capture its aggressive stance, strong hips and overarching roofline." Sounds like the guy should get a room.
