Finally a good showcase of the 987.2 3.4 platform. You can tune them all according to your preferences - S, R or Spyder. One thing to point out is that the car is relentless, it’s a machine built for beating. Feels a bit like a bike due to small size and sound. I agree that it’s the perfect power, won’t kill you. At some point you have a feeling like there is a true motor sport going on behind the wheel. Thanks for the video!

Got my 987.2 Boxster S in 6 speed manual transmission. It is amazing.

Super common question that will be addressed in an upcoming video :)

my heart wants to get the987 Spyder, but I like the sound of the 981 and I really torn in-between. Though the 981 looks better at first glance, but the longer u think bout it..the huzzle to put that fiddley roof on... the fact it flatters around above 100kmh-... the fact that the exhaust sounds so real.. the fact u have to put in work.. no gayass ravmatch yadayda... my hearts really prefers the 987 and I ve traced prices going up significantly compared to the 981.. I think this will be the real Spyder Boxster in the long run

@DasCayman

8 ай бұрын

I would say the 987 flattens out around 110mph, not kph. Which is perfect for back roads. The 987 is pure Porsche driving. But the 981 is overall a really nice package if you plan to use the car for anything other than backroad driving.

I would never sell it. It is everything you said it is and more. I paid just over 50k and have seen them for much more since.

Hey man, here in Europe at the moment prices of a manual 987 Spyder are almost at the level of a 981 GT4. Which one would you chose? Thanks!

@DasCayman

6 ай бұрын

If it’s your only Porsche I’d go with the GT4. The 981 comes with a lot of nice modern amenities. My 987 is spec’d to be very raw and the most focused and engaging. Having it be a convertible takes some of the “seriousness” out of the drive and adds more fun / laugh factor. When I drive the 4RS it’s too focused and easy to go 150mph everywhere on backroads…. Which… is insane… so it’s why I prefer the 987 Spyder. The 981 GT4 is an amazing car. I’ve had a lot of seat time in one and it’s a one-car Porsche that will scratch a lot of itches.

@giovannig4369

6 ай бұрын

Thank you for your answer, super appreciated! It seems that your Spyder (probability suspension and geo mods hep here) has great handling balance, I especially enjoy the on command loose rear end. I imagine a GT4 would be more serious and less “slide-able”? Is it car specific or I could achieve a similar balance with a GT4?

@DasCayman

6 ай бұрын

You'll definitely be able to slide the GT4. GT4 is great as a stock car. I modded my Spyder to make what was the beginning of something great, into something great. 2800lbs and now 350HP, same interior as the 3RS, manual, bucket seats, AC delete, radio delete, RWD, 6 speed manual. The suspension on the car really turned it up to making it extremely responsive (since it's a convertible). I just added a lightweight flywheel... and I think you'll REALLY enjoy this video.
