Silver wing supports. Rare free spec since it got discontinued mid way through the model run. Most examples and all the current 718 are spec with black. Subtle and works well with white gt4’s. Add silver wheels to complete the look.
I would get rid of my ‘87 911 in a second, if I thought that I could afford to replace it for something like this. It definitely is a more focused driver’s car. ... perhaps one day. I agree about that ‘Alcantara’ - its best being used as a roof liner material. Thanks for the video.
Nice spec on this one! (Except for the red dash accents) With 19K on the odometer it’s certainly commanding a premium, but I wonder how its value would hold up if daily driven.
I would love to have a Cayman, however I better start looking at the 08 to 10 models. This car will definitely go up in price over time. Ty for sharing Zack
Hello everyone, I have a question for you you test a lot of cars so I want to ask which automobile manufacturer is your favorite, i.e. American manufacturer or German, Japanese I'm from Germany and my preference is the Japanese very good random cars
@@kellingtonlink956 Yes, German cars are already very well made but also very expensive, especially if you order a new car, which are sometimes very expensive and if you want a little more luxury, the price is sometimes upwards
Is the 981 GT4 or 982 (aka 718) GT4 a limited production run? I am reading conflicting information everywhere. Some say the 981 GT4 is limited to 2,500 cars, but NOT the 982 GT4
I think will hold their value reasonably well, BUT with the new GT4 4.0, the GT4 RS, and the GTS going back NA will probably cause the price of these to slip to the low $70s in a few years (or at least I hope so I can maaaaayyyybeeeee afford one).
don't think this would hapen. I own a 981 GT4. My sales person contacted me last summer to test drive the newer version (718) in the hope I would get rid of mine and get this one. Even though the new car has a 4.0 H6 engine with a 200 rpm increased red line, more aero....let me say the two cars drive really different. I would say the first version is more raw, more mechanical, more analog...the newer one seems to be more daily driven oriented. It certainly doesn't have the sonority of the first one as well. Also, keep in mind that the 981 versio was a limited production. That's not the case with the 718. I like to compare the two versions of the GT4 with those two version of the GT3 in term of value holding: 997 GT3/991GT3. The 997 especially the .2 will always hold their values more than the 991 as they were very less produced
@@fredericlarochelle8068 You know that the GT cars are not strictly limited per se.... The 981 GT4 was not a limited production run mate, it is limited by the capacity of the factory and how many units they make. The same can be had with the 991 GT3, and in the case of the 997 GT3 they started at £79k and because of the mezger engine everybody wants one. You are lying to yourself if you think Porsche actually LIMIT the amount of cars they produce, they are a business after all.......
@@fbibarry6447 compare the number of units produced for the 981 platform vs the 718.... the rarest unit available the more they'll hold their value... offer/demand.... You're right, for the 718 Porsche said they'll produced as many as customers would want to buy. That waasn't the case with the 981
Just so you know... the 981 GT4 was only produced for one year unlike the 718 which has already been produced for two years in a row and which will continue to be produced...
@@fredericlarochelle8068 Thank you for the education. I still have a lot to learn about Porsche as I am making the jump from owning Corvettes. My dream car is a GT4...I just need them to get a little cheaper (or I need a nice raise).
At the 3:00 minute mark, Zack is reminded what a sports car feels like after test driving a gazillion family haulers on this channel. The chuckle that follows is like a six year old that finds himself in a unattended candy shop! 😅 Will Andrea be driving this ground rocket? I'd like to see her reaction after the first gear shift.....(she can drive a stick shift, right?)
Do a jaguar xlr survivor video. I really think these cars are sleepers that have hit rock bottom in price only because of the jaguar name but are reliable and lots of fun
Crank Magnum Thanks for that. But to clarify, my question is about the numbers. What do the 3 & 4 mean? I would’ve expected the bigger 911 to have the 4 in the name instead of 3.
Hi Daniel, The high end Cayman is called the GT4 and not the GT3 due to the Timeline rather than the model range i.e the Cayman only came into production in 2005 with the GT4 production run not starting until ten years later in 2015. The 911 range has had the GT3 from 1999( famous RS2.7 before this). So, basically the GT3 was “born” 16yrs before the GT4.
Rod Mcleod Ok. Thanks for the info. Still seems a bit silly to me considering the cars share other trim level nomenclature, but who am I to say? They’re Porsche, and I’m sure it hasn’t hurt them. 😂

Me, 2005 BS, full Milltek, Softronics ECU, AASCO LWF, underdrive pulley, Bilsteins. It’s like a home made Spyder, of which I have a 981 Spyder. In some ways the 987 is better, more mechanical feeling. BTW, my 05 was from Brumos too, would like to have met Mr Haywood.
Too bad Porsche saddled the GT4, especially the first generation ones, with such tall gearing in order to maintain the performance gap between the Cayman and the 911. It's even more frustrating given it's a manual gearbox because you can only use the first three gears at most before you're going to jail so you have a great manual that you can't use as much as you should be able to.
I have a 981 GT4 that I bought a few months ago. I like to drive mostly in 3rd and 4th. The roar and power of the engine is intoxicating.
best car I have ever owned, same spec as above but silver instead of red, this thing is driving magic

Yes. Great idea
Love mine. Carbon Buckets are essential. Incredible seats.
I agree. The carbon buckets are a must. I love my alcantara steering wheel too.
The Cayman is beautiful.

Don’t forget the Alcantara sun visors?..
Wow the color!

Such a cool car!!! Love that it’s a manual
Thanks and more watches vids especially your opinion about PP or VC ✌️
Glad you like them!
Only Porsches who can make you smile that way 😉
yup
this is gonna be an excellent series Zack. Great idea!

For a bit more you could be looking at a 981 GTS :)
Hey! That's my car! I love my baby and Core was an awesome company to deal with.. :)
That is awesome!
Keep the Porsche videos coming, love it :)
Thanks! Will do!
Loving the classics Zack,,keep it up..
Thanks! Will do!
Hello everyone, I have a question for you you test a lot of cars so I want to ask which automobile manufacturer is your favorite, i.e. American manufacturer or German, Japanese I'm from Germany and my preference is the Japanese very good random cars
Germany. Without out exception. Heritage, design and engineering. A perfect Triple Crown.
@@kellingtonlink956 Yes, German cars are already very well made but also very expensive, especially if you order a new car, which are sometimes very expensive and if you want a little more luxury, the price is sometimes upwards

Limited us neither of em. But the both had limited production times. I thik 2500 is not enough i think there are way more of em.
I think will hold their value reasonably well, BUT with the new GT4 4.0, the GT4 RS, and the GTS going back NA will probably cause the price of these to slip to the low $70s in a few years (or at least I hope so I can maaaaayyyybeeeee afford one).

Gt4 is better drivers car than anything on the market
Which would you want now that you’ve driven both the GTS and the GT4? (GT4 is a track toy while the GTS is more of a daily?)
Yes, GT4 if you go to the track.
Great video
Zack, I can almost see the heart emojis in your eyes when you drive Porsches.
I should get some heart shaped glasses!

When is he going to give the keys to that 2015 black on black 458? The last of Ferrari’s NA V8s. *drool*
Cayman over 911!
I own a 981 but honestly I prefer how the 991 drives
The red dash accents are horrific
3 years later same price
until GT4 RS, then GT4 RSR, then GT4 RRR, then GT44.....etc......

A handful of 👎 already... do some people sub to the channel, then 👎 the videos as soon as they see them? 😂
A great car, just not the interior for me.
Red Interieur is a no
sorry for me, WAY OVER priced for 309 tq
LMAO. Have you driven one??
You clearly don't understand real race cars. This car weighs in less then 3k pounds.
Lol
Over priced. Cars are meant to be driven.
