987 Cayman R to 981 Cayman S?
Anyone make the switch from the hard core 987 CR to new CS?
Curious what your thoughts are.

I really don't understand that comparison. I owned a Panamera 4S and a 981 Boxster S at the same time and the "feel" of the cars was worlds apart. I love the Panamera (still own it), but the 981 is an extraordinary car...quick as hell, agile, and perfectly balanced. It's cool that you're still enjoying your `09 Cayman, but it sounds a little ridiculous to suggest that it performs better than the 981 S.
I would take a boxster for 981 rather than Cayman 981 Is too big for a sports car

Yesterday I drove the 2014 Porsche Cayman, Cayman S, and the 2013 Porsche 911 4s, and the 911s. It was a Porsche event at the New Jersey motorsports park in Millville, NJ. We drove the cars at a quick pace around the track. In my opinion the Cayman S was the best car. Although, it could use about 50 more hp and about 40 more lbs of torque. The Cayman felt more balanced. The 911's weight on the back end was clearly noticeable. I drive the 2013 Boxster with a 6 speed as my daily driver. I have 20,000 miles on it since last September. I still enjoy it daily. I traded a 2010 911 in for the Boxster. The 911s is just not worth $120,000+ in my humble opinion. My next Porsche will be the Cayman. If the rumors are true that Porsche is working on a Cayman GT3. That will seal the deal for me.

There are no threads on the cayman GT4. Do you all think it will come under 100k. Maybe start in the 80s since the GTS started at 72k only.

The same engine makes 25 more horsepower in the 911. One has to wonder if the difference is from software tuning rather than actual physical differences. It isn’t crazy fast, it isn’t wow fast, but it is fun fast. Car & Driver just tested one to 60mph at 4.1 seconds and a 12.6 second quarter mile at 112mph. This is an entirely different car than what I reviewed in 2009.

23k over a GTS? I doubt it. If that then it better come with almost every option already like a GTS.

You can already get a Cayman S optioned out over $100,000. I would guess(and it's a guess) the GT4, will easily approach $100,000 and option out at $125,000. Would anyone bother to buy a 911s, if the Gt4 is much better and less than a 911s? Porsche still wants to sell plenty of 911's. The GT4 will make buying a 911 a harder sell.

It will and thats why they will probably only make a handful of them. Im first on the list at my local dealer and hope Porsche only makes a limited number of them
