James,
I have a stage 2 996T and love it. I'm looking for a "different" experience to compliment the turbo and am trying to decide between a CS and 997GT3 for occasional track use. Since you have both (and a TT) I thought I'd ask what your impression is on how they're different than the TT. I'm in line for an 08GT3, but have recently driven a CS and was impressed even though I think it should have another 50HP. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Looks very hot. I have seen today in the nederlands a white Cayman with black wheels, too ( and martini racing strip. I must search pics in the web.) Best color for the car.

Stock Cayman S handles like a dream so this must be insane on the track. What sizes are those tires and wheels?

The wheels are Kinesis K28's (before Kinesis was sold to that other company
)w/ a Matte Black finish for that industrial look.Currently running Toyo RA1: front 245/40 and rear 275/35...18's of course for track.

You mention "occasional track use": it really depends on your experience and comfort level...although the 997GT3 has TC, it doesn't have PSM...so for the novice or occasional track guy, probably not the right car. I would also prefer and extra 50hp on CS...however, I still have fun at the track. W/ less power, forces me to become a better driver esp when on track w/ C6 Z06's, 996/997GT3's, 996TT's.
SERIOUSLY though....NOTHING gets my juices flowing like the 997GT3 -- the sound, the low-end grunt...it's such an ANGRY car. I have yet to take the 997GT3 out this season, but just can't wait....recently passed break in and red-lined 3rd at 118mph (i think), didn't even shift to fourth in fear of cops.
Hope this helps you, PM me when u decide which you choose.
