Porsche can only hope it sells as well as the recently released record breaking Cayman S.
Sounds mighty nice - long live the
911
.
Now I wonder what a Turbo package would do in a
Cayman S
?
The bad boy...
How about the 'overboost' on the sport chrono package? Now THAT is a magic button approach (an additional 44 lb*ft of torque!)...

Just in time for the US launch of the BMW M6. It's going to be a wild summer for German muscle cars! I doubt, however, that anything will be able to touch the GT3.
This is beautiful looking car. The side view and front intakes show hints of the
Cayman
design. There is much to like in this new turbo.

Like the last line 'the record breaking
Cayman
'. I guess its doing better than some say.
man..i could get 2 caymans for that price!
pretty sweet, but dont those of you who use your
cayman
as your daily driver, think the
cayman
makes more sense?

Now that's a Sports mode button!
I have one on 'order'. Should be one of the first cars here. I believe that some launch cars will be customer configured. I have to admit the early configuration I've placed is conservative for resale. Silver over black. -Pete
Well I'm going to say it, if I had $123K to spend on a car, this would be my choice, and I'll also stick my little neck out even further, I'd get the Tip. I think this would be a helluva daily driver and a much more comfortable tourer than the GT3. You can sit in traffic with composure, and when the time is right, nail it and get kicked back in the seat. The GT3 will be a great car, but you really need to track it regularly to get the most out of it. Some of the 997 Turbo's styling is a little fussy, but will probably look good 'in the steel'. I'd still choose the
Cayman
over the 997/997S, but this Turbo is now in a league of its own, especially with the new interior which is so much better than the 996. Thanks for the posting K-Man S, especially since
Cayman
Club is my only internet Porsche source, I depend on you and mpollard to keep me up to date!

Anyone else notice the lower middle grill on the Turbo. When that part is available, it could be trimmed to fit our Caymans.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but would this be the first Porsche car where the tiptronic version is faster ? Assuming that is the case, it just confirms what we all suspected - computers ARE faster than humans /fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/teeth_smile.gif
At least at this point in time, I suspect this has little impact on people that race cars - most will still use 6-speed and match the gear to the condition on the track - can people comment on this point, and what they think will take for the track cars to start using tip. and be faster.
Hey Pete how's that Milltek exhaust coming? Any teaser sound clips?
turbo for many of us would probably be our logical step up, if we ever decide to move up a notch in the Porsche line. I am yet soooooo confortable with the specs of my
cayman
(compared to say the std and the S carrera) that I am not too moved. Give me the turbo for a little more $ or dont give me anything. Any of you guys feel the same?
