    I live close to this road and have driven it many times over the years in lots of different cars, but over the last couple of years in my Porsche 981 Boxster S. You really can keep within an average speed of 50mph and have lots of fun in one of the best handling mid-engined cars ever!!! 😀👍🏻

    "a stepping stone between a Boxster and a 911"? It's the same car but just not a convertible! As for the the "straight six" description, I really wonder who writes this rubbish.

    Small correction: PASM lowers the car by 10mm compared to base suspension, but it's static. All the damper button does is stiffen the shocks. Great video and I've been blessed to experience my stock 06 Cayman S on similar roads and at Laguna Seca. Very enjoyable and communicative driving experience indeed. Just a shame the engine's oiling system isn't up for track duties.

      How about the gear shifting? Is it as responsive as modern pdk? And do I need to move the gear knob to S mode to use the stock gear shifters

  • @theofficialstig
    @theofficialstig 3 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    there are average speed cameras limiting you to 50mph
    which is still fast for such twisty roads but it makes you paranoid and spoils the fun
    it's better in the wet because you feel like a rally driver on the edge at fully legal speeds

  • @RealOlawo
    @RealOlawo 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Tiff did you realy say "it has a 3.4 liter straight 6"? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Also the PASM never lowered the car by pressing the bottom. It was generaly 10 mil lower than standard damper.

    The choice of making everything black and white except the car does this Cayman no justice at all. It just makes everything look muddy.

    PASM lowers the car with or without the button press. PASM is active with or without the button pressed. When press it stiffer for track use. The sport button makes a big difference to throttle response for sure. It makes it feel faster form acceleration in every gear. PASM allows for 19” wheels and still feels comfortable to drive, put 19” on a none PASM and it feels way to stiff and uncomfortable.

    Public roads are not race tracks. Maybe Scotland yard needs to investigate this footage. He almost crashed to another vehicle unless that was their own scripted oncoming car.
    Like Carbuyer, Carkeys and What car do way more informative and interesting car videos. Instead of a reckless driving. This sort of nonsense is so out of date.

    • @michaelwbsin
      @michaelwbsin 3 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      The whole point of this video is to show driving can be enjoyable at everyday legal speeds -- and that's exactly what he did here. I didn't see any reckless driving from Tiff; rather, another car pulled into the main road without checking for traffic.

    • @aneildavis
      @aneildavis 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Correct, however, first this video is 12 years old, and secondly, he makes it clear that he does not exceed the speed limit. As an ex professional driver, he knows what he is doing.
