CAYMAN CS or RS??

Do you prefer that Porsche will launch a CS-type model (same power-lighter-same price) like 968CS or RS-type model (more power-lighter-more expensive) like 964RS???

Re: CAYMAN CS or RS??

Both! And the RS should have a dry sump motor like one of the GT3 motors (Mk 1, 2, or 3). And both should have an LSD.

BTW, the 964RS only had 10hp more and the GT3RS had no extra hp...

Re: CAYMAN CS or RS??

I agree completely Grant.

I doubt Porsche will do it though. They seem afraid about hurting the 911's image as their best performing production car. A Cayman with those specs would show a 911 its taillights. Come on Porsche, surprise us and do it!

Oh yes, with dry sump engine and LSD. Nice!

Grant, do you have any pics of your 993 interior?

Re: CAYMAN CS or RS??

I don't doubt the superior weight distribution will make a Cayman very close to a 911 or superior in times. But the 911 has a more sophisticated rear suspension set-up as well offering better wheel control so it may not be as straightforward as dropping in the power plant and showing the taillights....

But a 987RS would be a super car. I wonder how much they could charge for it if it were faster than a Carrera S?

Thanks mate! That is a very nice interior! Especially in combination with the silver exterior.

Thanks! I really like it, but I know some people who really hate it - it's a very personal choice. I actually flew to Texas to buy this car for its color combo (same as the Silver-Blue with Red interior 550 Spyders from the early 1950's - James Dean, etc.).
