Popular Post Mk1 Posted March 16, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2017 Cayman R ... for some nine months and five thousand miles, a first time Porsche owner. Carrara White ... manual with PSE - Sport Chrono - Aircon - PCM - Audio ... unfortunately no buckets. A superb driving experience ! Gtechniq ceramic coating applied at purchase by Aberdeen OPC, really does help to keep it clean. Not planning any modifications other than an improved geometry set up and Cup 2 tyres, for the track visits. Brakes were `new` at purchase hence will evaluate them over time / the track. Thank you for the information / contributions on the site. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk1 Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 ... replaced with a 981 Cayman S PDK. Enjoyed our 8,000 miles together but after being impressed as a road and track passenger in a 718 Cayman S PDK decided to investigate a change. Tested both the 718 Boxster and Cayman S`s, enjoyed the handling but could not live with the soundtrack, less so the exhaust note ... more so the engine related `clatter & whirring` behind one`s head. The Boxster had done 3k, the confidence inspiring handling was a joy. The Cayman had done 9k and was quite disappointing, whilst the front end was much as the Boxster`s there was `something` strange happening at the rear. Just didn`t feel right, the P Zero`s were down to ~ 4mm with maybe incorrect pressures ? So, in looking for 718 handling and six cylinder vocals ... found the 981.

Mk1 Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Another white car ... Late 2013, 11,000 miles, Sport - Sport Plus - Sports Exhaust - Sport Design wheel, PASM, 20" Carrera S wheels in gloss black, Cruise, Seat Heating ... etc. Feels so much more `communicative` than the R i.e softer - more grip ... very subjective I know but coupled with the PDK makes for a superb package. One could almost call it the 981 R ! R was on Michelin PS 2`s whereas the S is on Pirelli P Zero NO`s. Edited July 28, 2017 by Mk1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
