Hey guys,

I recently had the opportunity to put the Cayman GTS manual through its paces. I'm a current 997.1 GT3 owner.

Check out my video review below:


I absolutely adore this Cayman GTS and it's given me very high hopes for the upcoming GT4. The GTS is so light, so agile, so intuitive to drive. The chassis is so friendly and playful and loves to drift. Wow, what a car! I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir since I'm posting in the Cayman section, but given that the 911 has always over-shadowed the Cayman, it was a real treat for me to find out just how far they've come on the current 981 platform. Driving experience can be summed up in two words: world class.

Bold statement: Might actually consider giving up my 997.1 GT3 and getting into a Cayman GT4. I like this platform that much.

So what do you guys think of your 981 Cayman Ss and GTSs? Are you still loving it after months or years of ownership? Do you ever get 911-envy, think of moving up to 911 or are you perfectly content? Or do you also have a 911 of some sort to go alongside the Cayman in the garage?

Also, if you haven't seen it already here is my 991 GT3 Review:


And my owner's review of my 997 GT3:


Have a great weekend!

To be perfectly honest, I am not a huge fan of the 911. Yes, yes...i know it is the icon, etc, etc. However, other than being more powerful, I don't find it to be superior to the 981 Cayman in any way. I think the Cayman looks better and drives better, and the 981 line really brought the Cayman/Boxster out of the 911's shadow. I could have bought any 991 variant, but chose the Cayman for it's mid-engine dynamics and it's styling. There is also a value factor. My $96k Cayman GTS has much more bang for the buck IMO than a comparably equipped 991 for like $40k more. The Cayman is plenty fast for its intended use and I have an Audi S6 tuned to nearly 600hp for when I am in the mood for stratospheric thrust, so the Cayman was just the ticket.
