I'm happy I made the change from the Turbo, because that's what I wanted - a change.

So far, I'm chuffed with it. It has a very different feel to the 996. Certainly not as much grunt as the Turbo, but this is somewhat offset by the wonderful engine sound in the cabin. Not as much traction either, as it lights up the rear wheels far more easily. I need to take it somewhere to explore the limits of the handling, but it has a much lighter, more 'chuckable' feel that the 996.
Richard - the wheelbase is actually longer than the 911, despite being about 4" shorter overall length. It handles very differently, and you can feel that the weight is further forward, and nicely balanced. It weighs the same as a C2, so about the same performance, but to me it feels quicker - perhaps it's just the sound.
Martin - absolutely no plans for any modifications (yet). Apart from a Bluetooth and iPod kit, maybe.
Keep up, Tiku - I sold the Turbo privately.
Mike - the book is being proof read and edited now, so hopefully will be on the Sunday Times Bestseller list before Christmas.
Oh yes - I forgot about the programming mods already done, thanks to Nick. And the Bose mod - I just have to tap up Mrs H for an old polyester pillow. [

De-amber, check.
Oh no! Here we go again........
Nice car Richard hope it lasts longer than my Viper Green Cayman S Sport ltd edition did. I knew in a few outings i had made a big mistake changing it for my 996
GT3 Mk1. dont get me wrong if its to be an everyday car theres no better probably. Very capable all round car.
But for me there was just no occasion when i drove mine as a weekend car
Hence back in the fold of a GT3 MK2 again very costly lesson indeed.
Good luck and hope you enjoy for a long time to come.
Spoke too soon. Just got an email from Peter Morgan. The book is now with the designer, but he is stacked up with work, and it will be
March
before it is published. I'm disappointed, to say the least, as I worked overtime to meet the manuscript date he gave me.
That's a really tough one, they are so different. I couldn't begin to explain the differences technically. For me, on an emotional level, the driving experience in the 3.2 wins hands down. You forgive all its shortcomings, just because of what it is. The Cayman is just so sharp, and the feeling I get is more like how it used to be in my GTI days. Fun and chuckable.
I'm happy I made the change from the Turbo, because that's what I wanted - a change. Given another 3-4 years I might be back in one. Who knows? Overall, I'd say I enjoy driving them equally. The novelty hasn't worn off yet, and I have a feeling it might take a while.
Yes thats how i feel it too. My everyday car is a clio 182 cup , very chuckable and practical car that can also
take all weathers and general abuse.
I had a go in a Cayman S and F355 on Croft circuit recently .
Both on my need to test shortlist. The cayman was very capable. Then i had a go in the F355 , and
despite its faults i bonded with it much more. Would be a great summer classic if any thing happens to the Targa.
Life is too short for only one car at a time. Enjoy !
