Well, I'm back.
A couple years ago I sold my 981 Cayman S to a board member (we still keep in touch!) to be ready to snag s GT4 if the right one came up. Still haven't found the right one, but did get my name on the list for a GT4RS if they ever become a reality.
Between selling the 981 and getting this 987. I've owned an F80 M3 comp pack, BRZ, e92 M3 comp pack, and 997.2 C4S. Last week I took delivery of this 2007 Cayman S from a dealer that had one previous meticulous owner and only 11,500 miles. When it arrived, the condition exceeded my expectations (I paid $29k from the dealer, which I believe is pretty good).
I've got a long list of additions to increase the driving experience, but I will say hands down that from the cars listed above, I would already choose the keys to this 987.1 10 out of 10 times for a curvy weekend drive. Yes, the technology isn't quite as good as the newer cars, but the Bose system is actually better than the Bose in the 997.2 and HK in the F80 (I'm guessing part of it is that there is less air to move around inside the smaller Cayman).
Anyway, here are the modifications I have planned. This won't be a track car for the first few years. Unfortunately I haven't actually taken any pics of the car yet, but will soon.
- Wavetrac LSD
- GT3 brake duct spoilers
- GT3 brake master cylinder
- Stainless brake lines
- Pagid yellow track pads
- IPD plenum
- IPD 82mm throttle body
- BMC air filter
- FVD stage 1 software w/genius tool
- FVD Sport catback exhaust
- Bilstein PSS9 coilover suspension
- 19" PSS tires on Sport Design wheels
- Clear side markers
- Alcantara shift boot/knob with Porsche SSK
