Usually I don't like these kind of videos because people often drive recklessly or stuff when doing so.. but this video was very enjoyable. You have proven that people can have fun in cars while doing it safely. even slowing down for corners you probably didn't have to just to be safe... I honestly really enjoyed this drive. Great work
Nice driving, very smooth. Your double clutch heel and toe downshifts are really good. The 987 pedal placement is sublime, however I usually only double clutch when changing down 2 gears to pass as it can be cumbersome when driving quickly.
Thank you! It started with my dad sitting me in the car (not running) and practicing double clutching when I was about 12. Now it feels weird if I don't double clutch!
You drive a lot like I do, quickly but very smooth, kind on the car. I really, really like it. Well I guess I don't do the double-clutching, and you are probably a fair bit smoother at downshifting than I am. And I drive a Honda Civic 1.5 and not a Cayman, so it doesn't sound quite as nice and it doesn't rotate as well in the corners. I still love my car, though, really good for what it is. You should do more of these. Good stuff!
I just have a question. Would it be any different if you don't use double clutch? i mean, because the Cayman have synchros and you are already rev matching while downshifting
Hi Bosco, the double clutching technique is so that the input shaft of the gearbox is accelerated with the engine speed with the throttle blip. This means the synchro has a little less work to do when the gear is engaged. It isn't necessary to double clutch, but I learned it very young and it's a habit for me now. Cheers, Sam.
@@samdrinkstea In race cars and motorcycles they often use clutch only for starting, rest they float the gear without use of clutch when shifting. It is fun when you do it perfectly but as I understand it they do it on un--synchroniced gear box only. I do it all the time myself on my road legal dirtbike.
This video is everything I love about driving a manual Porsche. Off-topic, but what video editor do you use to show a driving POV and pedal/foot cam? I've always wondered that...
Thanks Andrew! I just used an app called overlay video and images on android. Took a little while to get synchronised, and it's still not quite perfect, but I thought it wasn't too bad for a quick job on the phone.
@@samdrinkstea Thank you for your reply! You are the first person to actually answer me on this. :) Ah, I couldn't even tell the difference if it was a little out of sync, so you did great!

Hi Hans, Exhaust is an ebay equal length 3-1 header, two inch pipe with two straight through drilled core mufflers on each side. One small and one larger. Keeping both banks of cylinders independent, so no X pipe of balance pipe at all.
@@samdrinkstea Thank you Sam! Your car sounds great. I've just bought one of these cars and am currently window shopping on TH-cam for exhaust options :)
@@cookefamily3255 No cats - check legality on that where you are. Likely an improvement in power, but only small. I would guess 5-10hp. Just searching 987 exhaust or muffler on ebay and looking through what is out there. My setup was modified though. If you can't do that yourself, in many places there are friendly muffler shops who will custom make anything you like, but of course this can be costly as there is lots of time involved. Personally I would recommend no balance or X pipe and a couple of nice drilled core straight through mufflers on each side. Good luck!
I can't believe how slippery your car is. It seemed like your rear end wanted to rotate around far easier than I would have expected, or, what I experience. th-cam.com/video/DdDrS2e064s/w-d-xo.html Setup changes? Worn tires?

And all this skill isn't gonna matter within 10 years as every ICE car is banned by that time 😑
@@samdrinkstea that’s proper fathering right there!
Yeah, I too prefer double clutching when I am skipping a gear. It's nice to see someone doing it with every downshift.
Your double clutch heel and toe skill is smooth af! Very nice driving mate 👍
Thank you very much mate!
Cringe
watching you drive is very pleasing
2:00 amazing movement of the legs
Thank you!!
nice driving, nice setup. may i ask which cameras and which mounts you’re using?

Was a lot of this filmed up hill? The revs build way slower than my 2.7 Boxster.....🤔
Mate can you help me? What support did you use to put the Cam to film your food/pedals? do you have name/link of the support?
Thank you.

Hello, is it a stock exhaust or not ? Thanks
very good driver
Thank you!
What mount are you using? Looks rock solid.
Hi!
I made a custom mount from aluminium tubing.
It attached to the factory luggage bar on top of the engine cover
@@samdrinkstea Love it! Great idea.
hey, can you do a tutorial for double clutch heel toe?
Thanks for the comment.
I'll consider doing one in the future 👍🏼
@@samdrinkstea thank you!! I'm waiting for it!!
