Been married for 36 years, don't wear ties and was wondering why everyone was looking at me at the last wedding I went to.
I just thought they were jealous of my Dicky Do shirt.
Not to dis the owners - it's a great car - but as a sales guy said to me recently in talking about 911s, "No one ever grew up dreaming that they'd one day own a Cayman."

Yeah, especially if you were born before 2005, because Caymans DIDNT EXIST YET Originally Posted by Caughtacab911

I love how the PDKers always have to defend "it's not an automatic". If my wife, mom, or grandma can drive it from point A to point B, then in their opinion it's a AUTOMATIC. So who cares? If you like it, then drive the automatic PDK. It's a sophisticated automatic at that, but bottom line...it can practically be driven by almost anyone. The same can't be said for a 6 speed. Yeah, the PDK's faster...but it's not all about "faster", otherwise I'd be driving a GT-R instead. It's all about the 6 speed feel and nostalgia. If you like the PDK then all power to you all... I don't see why it needs to be defended all the time. It just won't get the same respect...period. Just like the 997S won't get the same respect as a turbo or GT3, or a Cayman compared to a 911, etc. Some things just won't change, so there's no point in trying to change the perceptions...

Car and driver loved it too. They compared it to a C6 Corvette, Audi TTS and BMW Z4 sDrive35i, and it came out on top. It was the most expensive by a good margin too.
They had it at 4.3 0-60.
I agree - that's a great sports car. I'd love to have one.

Did the Z4 come in 2nd? C&D loves BMW (but that is a different topic all together)Originally Posted by Kurt_OH

Finishing order:
Porsche (0-60 = 4.3, 70-0 = 155', skidpad = 0.94)
BMW (0-60 = 4.8, 70-0 = 161', skidpad = 0.83)
Audi (0-60 = 5.6, 70-0 = 160', skidpad = 0.93
Chevrolet (0-60 = 4.3, skidpad = 0.83)

This type of discussion invariably conveys more information about those posting than what is supposedly the topic.
