all i can say is "what s3 " :laugh:
-
Get in :jumpmove: :driver:
so what do u think now its home ?
-
Custom Code Remap!!! :pomppomp:
Very Nice Ian. Bet she's a flyer :happy2:
-
I would REALLY like to know what you make of it compared to the S3. Obviously the cayman has mega prestige but id be very interested in your comparison in handling/power etc!
Both look lovely!
-
well lets be fair even a fully modded S3 isnt going to play with the caymen in the bends. be interesed to see how the power compares
-
I was right! :star:
-
Very Nice :congrats:
-
Oh hell yeah :pomppomp:

power wise it hard to tell because the cayman is sooooo different to a hatch back , i would say the power is slighty under the stage 1 s3 but every thing else the cayman does is outstanding , the steering , gear change , the noise i could go on but handling is the cayman s forte , i dont think much on the road will touch it on the twisties :happy2:
-
Lovely, good choice.
Enjoy
-
:party:
-
cracking motor and nice to see one with decent rims :happy2:
-
Great car, Ian :notworthy:
-
Very nice :happy2:
now imagine what this would be like with some exhaust action
-
Very nice indeed.
You'll think it handles amazingly now, wait till your balls have grown into it - it'll dance for you.

My Golf is getting picked up later, in totally standard trim.......
-
so u sold it then ? :congrats: you defo going Porsche then ?
-
No, goes up for sale as soon as the V5 is back from the plate going on retention.
Had a 135i wobble again after driving one and the 4 seats (well, it looks like 4) appeases her indoors, but main focus is pork. I'll deal with the grief.
-
lucky my wife loves porsche as much as i do :grin: infact it was her idea to sell the golf and get a porsche :rolleye:
-
Mike,
What u doing wiv all the mod parts, like the Alcons etc? Got buyers lined up already??
-
I'll be hosting a DFS style "must end next week" sale at some point - Those brakes would look lovely on the Rocco....

This is the perfect Cayman for me. Really love those wheels and the colour.
-
I think you made a mistake. The S3 was much better.
That Porsche looks absolute rubbish.
Ok OK, I admit it now. Im jealous!
:signLOL:

Two Gaymen together then! :pomppomp: :pomppomp: :wink: :laugh:

Mmmn, Cayman. But is it an "S"?

Does the S always have "Cayman S" on the back? Does it have PASM?

Ian has the cayman and stoke has the S version and yes the S is always on the back if its an S :smiley:
-
PASM is an option - gives a Sport switch for adaptiveness and other goodies.

Mine (which i collect next week) is an S as Mat points out, and has PASM.

I wanted the same wheels as candy, and the same colour, but......................... Well happy.
Not happy with the Sh1tty exhaust, Porsche are sorting that.
What extras did you get Candy? Glad you are happy with it.
-
mine is just the cayman but it came all the porsche "sport " extra s , the exhaust , the suspension and sports seats and the light weight 19 "carrera rims which for me is better than sat nav and phone prep !
i m loving it , so different to drive than any hatchback , its a proper focused sports car , with the sport springs and dampers it a bit hard but i like it like that :happy2:
-
word is the next gen cayman and boxster will mae use of the k04 power!
-
probably, the EU emmisions police will eventually ruin everything.

Its already started with the latest rounds of car prices! Cheap slow small cars will continue to be cheap, premium and faster cars will only get more expensive :(

....I love most Porsches too, and the Cayman very nicely fits between the Boxster and 9-series. But any Porsche and Golf are such totally different cars - The porky is much more 2-seater performance orientated and the Golf is such an outstanding allrounder - Such different machines.
