This is the Porsche 987.1 Cayman. It still looks good in 2022. Every facelift after this original 987.1 was designed to make it look LESS like the Porsche 911.
I had a 2006 that looked just like this one. The 3.4 ate shit due to bore scoring so a 3.8 conversion was done. Put out about 333 to the wheels with a 6 speed. That was a pretty fast car off the line and when going over 100mph. Loved that car.
@@megasupergoat I have no idea if it was the same as a 3.8 out of a 911 of the same year. All I know is that it has been stoked to 3.8 and had the cylinders sleeved, and a wind age tray and an IMS bearing fix.
Just got my 2006 987.1 S in 2022. Can't believe it still costed 40% of MRSP in 2006. If it was a BMW, etc. Market value would be near zero after 16 years. Handling is not like 911. 911 is rear mounted. Cayman is mid-mounted. Maybe the writer is not aware how gravity works.
Just bought one of these ten years later :) It's still the best :)
You still have it?
Congrats....will do soon as well!
@@obi-wankenobi7160 I sold it. I bought another one .. 2.9 2009 Gen 2 manual :-)
