Awesome, that's definitely an upgrade from the Fiat
When are you fitting a sports exhaust?
Don't need to, the GTS comes with both PASM active suspension and active sport exhaust as standard compared to the Cayman S, hence the $10k increase in base price.
My car doesn't have the PASM but the lower/stiffer no cost Sport Suspension upgrade. Most of the manual GTS I found were equipped with the lower Sport Suspension while most PDK cars I saw had standard PASM.
Nope that isn't what I said, sorry if my wording confused you.Wait.
I is confoosed.
The GTS comes with PASM but your GTS doesn't have the PASM and has the Sport Suspension instead so that's why you don't need the exhaust?
Sport exhaust automatically goes into sport/open bypass valve mode when I select Sport or Sport+ modes and I can manually shut it off if I want the throttle response but not the extra noise.
I can also turn on Sport Exhaust manually while in normal mode as well.

That's weird for a 21th century car to have overrun combustion, cause it supposed to shut all the fuel in that mode. Do you hear crackle every time, or only in Sport modes?
Technicalities aside, i still prefer a ride with Corrigan, but lemme say my respects for having Something new, expensive and manual
Yep it's definitely on the stiff side but no worse than many cars w aftermarket stiffened suspension I've ridden on, and its ok in most city roads, except for the worst ones/ones under construction (which is a constant in LA) and in those cases nothing helps.Awesome! The GTS suspension is on the stiff side, but has obvious positives because of that. A very, very fun car to drive.
In case anyone asks 'y u not 911' i test drove a couple manual Carrera S, it felt too big & heavy for what I wanted. I don't need a quieter comfortable long range GT car, that's what the Audi is for.
I totally agree with you, I would have taken the 997 gen 911 over the 987 Caymans any day but now the tables have flipped.I can understand this completely. The 991 tipped the scales for me between a 911 and a Cayman. In the 997/987 era I preferred the 911, but now I think I prefer the Cayman. I think the 991's much longer wheelbase transforms the car, and not in a good way. The four-wheel steering ones aren't quite as bad, but it's still unfortunate.
Yours looks fantastic! Great color and options.
Thanks, by far the prettiest car I've ever owned.Love it!
Yep, as brilliant the modern 911 chassis engineering is, the rear engine layout is fundamentally a flawed one and that wont change. 911 fanboys will kill me for that statement Im sure.I've been reading it for years: the Cayman is the sportscar, the 911 became a sporty GT.
Also mid engine > rear engine :lol:
