This is the thinking that I've taken on board for the past several years having higher HP cars. I always go back to what I love and truly enjoy and that is my 1996 Viper with a full system, tune, bushings, fresh mounts etc. The visceral nature of how this car feels in your hands is hands down the best in my book for what I personally want in a sports car. This varies from person to person. A 3000ish pound 2 seat sports car with 400-500 hp is the perfect amount of power/weight for spirited street driving. The engine noise is key but the feel of the chassis in your hands is what I've come to find as paramount.

The Boxster is the best value mid engine car with an exotic engine sound. 👌Totally agree with not needing a GT3 for public roads, though the same can be said about the Spyder; a Boxster S is less than half the price of a Spyder with the same engine and no-stress roof, and you can argue that there's still too much speed so base models are not out of the question. A 986 is less than half of a 987 again, and it's a car that's been raced in motorsport for ages. To be fair, purely on engagement and fun on the road at legal speeds, a Miata is still the answer. It all comes down to what makes a car fun for you.

@@trevorjordan5349 I’ve always had the opinion that if you can’t have fun in 50bhp then 500 isn’t gonna help you. Pushing a slow car fast is more fun than barely pushing a fast car because of road limitations. I’d say the one exception is track specific applications. I have a 1.8 Eunos Roadster and on the roads it’s the most fun car I’ve driven. But on the odd occasion I’ve driven on track I’ve felt like I wanted a little more power because the visibility and run off areas allow for full extraction of performance of the car. I’m not saying it’s not fun on track it definitely is. But I also think more powerful cars can be equally as fun on track where you can really push the limits without the looming danger of crashing into a tree or another car filled with a family.

Beautiful driving!! Love my Boxster, definitely gets great smiles per miles for the value

Hell yeah, bro! Great video. Great driving. Liked and subscribed.

Your picture should say 'Boxster is the answer... IF you have extra money' OBVIOUSLY every Miata owner would have gotten a nice Boxster Spyder (or any Boxster) instead but there is a HUGE price difference. I got my used 2017 Miata for only $18k because that's all that I could afford and I can easily work on it myself and parts are cheap. We would all love Boxsters but the early ones can have issues (definitely won't be as reliable as a modern Miata) and are a bit dated now and ALL Boxsters are more difficult and expensive to work on yourself so it's much more likely you'll need to take it to Porsche for any work and pay insane prices. Miata is still the answer here. Now, having said that, the Boxster Spyder is incredible and you really don't need any more power than that to enjoy on the street. I would certainly have that over any other $100k-ish car. Like, why would anyone buy an old E-Gear Gallardo over this. The Boxster with its rear haunches behind the seats also just looks fantastic and you got it in the best color too. Black, Red, White just don't look as good as silver on this car.

The purest of the pure and nothing like it although your Spyder with how you have it setup does closely resemble the drive you get. Just add double the torque and tire, take away some of the interior quality (most of it) and to me the road presence of 7 figure Supercars for 50k. It's why I'm on my 8th Viper at age 38.

I couldn't agree more about the fun of driving. I'm like you. I love the performance driving experience. I drive the way you do, up and down through all the gears all the time. I don't reach the lateral limits like you do, but I get up there. Great video.

How long have you been driving? The rev matches are perfect 👍

I can definitely say that this is great just seeing people enjoying their cars and not leaving them in their garage because they are afraid of a rock chip or a bug getting squashed on their windshield. Have fun rip it enjoy it that’s what cars are for.

Man I found your channel a few months ago and I’ve been searching for a boxster since then. These cars seem so nimble and agile while still having plenty power. Your control over the car is super fun to watch as well and makes me really want a rwd car rn. Just wanna say great vids, driving, car, keep it up.

I’m going to print all these comments out and frame them. Thank you so much for the feedback and watching. It’s worth the hunt, and often the hunt is the most fun part! Don’t settle too much for the spec. For example pdk vs manual. These cars ‘need’ to be manual.

@@DasCayman it’s seriously addicting watching your videos. I remember the first one I found I had to go through your channel afterwards. Definitely only looking for manual. I’m going to wait for the perfect spec, 2011-2012 preferably. Not planning on dailying it (but maybe). Do you have any experience with dailying it or is this a weekend car?

@DasCayman

@@benhamann9610 Hell yeah! I don't daily mine only because I have like 5 other cars I can drive. I tried to make this a point A to point A car. I have a Lexus LS and a 911 C2S Cab that I take to work for my highway commute. But if you get a non-Spyder then the roof won't be a faff (I don't mind it). Really all these cars are daily-able unless you put a crazy stiff suspension on it and slam it. I'll try to keep making more of these. The people love them idk why though! Any insight?

@@DasCayman haha that’s fair! If I had a quiver of vehicles like that I would have a hard time deciding what to drive lol. Glad to hear about the roof and suspension. I’ve heard these are fairly reliable as well, not sure if that’s been the case for you or not. I love the pov driving and chatting while whipping through the country side. I’m having a hard time wording this because I think the quality is good in your videos already. However, sound especially is something that could really transform them. Binaural audio, etc. Audio stuff has such a high ceiling that you might be able find something not outrageously expensive. That’s really all I can think of off the top of my head.

Love the car, nice driving. I had a 2005 997.1 Carrera S manual for a while, 355hp was more than enough power combined with the lightness. Bit of a pendulum effect sometimes and had to get used to how light front end was. My driving skills nowhere near as good as yours obviously. Nice upload.

Hey thanks! I really appreciate the feedback. I have a 997.1 2008 C2S cab that’s my daily and it has plenty of power. Really nice package. I call it my “wine cruiser.” Since it’s a cab the suspension doesn’t like to be pushed as hard as my Spyder. 150,000 miles and going strong!

This is exactly how I’ve grown to be at 30 years old too , each passing month I appreciate my 318i e36 more and more, it may be slow but as long as it handles fun which it does it’s on coils and as long as it climbs the power band with no hiccups I’m insanely happy haha just to appreciate it as a slow fun driving machine , although I bought a 6 cylinder e36 out of my wrecker last week tho for 300 Canadian and drove it home 😅 I still want to keep and spruce up the m42 though

Always in love with your videos, nasty driving. Can i ask you which set up of camber/toe did you put on the car?

@DasCayman

Ай бұрын

Thank you for the comment / feedback! I really appreciate connecting with my audience and hearing stuff like that. Car is 0° toe in front, factory setting rear. -2° camber all 4 corners and max caster I think it was 8.5 or 9. Tires got near perfect wear down to the cords. Couldn’t be happier

I love my slightly modded 600whp C7 Z06. The problem is there is so much traffic anymore that I can get on it MAYBE once a month. You're at straight to jail speeds in 10 seconds. I miss my STI where you could get through some gears.

I once drove one of these at 0.5/10ths and it was still a blast. Would love to own one.

I had no idea that I could start wanting a car I’ve never considered before in a matter of 14 seconds

I'm so much hype by your spyder than new 700hp cars !! Good driver for sure ;)

This thing sounds amazing! I almost got my hands on one but i went for an Aston Martin Vantage but the flat six is unbeatable

This is a nice ride man.. is the 3.4l V6? If so about the same specs as a nissan 370z.. seems a tad more responsive though haha. Z is heavy

Dude I respect you. You got skill. You are ripping that thing around and I completely agree with you.

Dang man great video. I have a 981 cayman I spent 45 grand on barely used and I drive it like you drive your spider whenever the right or open road allows. I was gonna spend more on something else and I’m so glad I didn’t because I wouldn’t have been dailying a more expensive variant. Thing rips and is still faster than most cars on the road, handles like a dream. Front bumper is peppered and I daily drive it, messed with an e46 m3 this morning on my way to work and we had a blast. All smiles at 5am driving into work… I have no interest in any other car, as you said, why the hell do I need a car any quicker and why the hell would I want a car that would cost a fortune in depreciation to actually use and enjoy and still be worrying about all the time. Good stuff man, u said it better than I could 👌🏼

I have a 997.1 C2S Cab manual that has 150,000 miles on it... front is totally peppered but I drive it everyday to work and I don't worry a second about the miles or depreciation. Meanwhile... my friends with their $300k dream Porsches won't even drive them 20 min to cars and coffee so they can preserve the miles. Who's really living??

You get it! I used to have a little Fiesta ST back in the day... gutted it from the driver seat backwards and tuned it. It was 2500lb and 300HP/TQ. Absolute riot to drive on the backroads... sold it for $10k. Miss that car a lot. I even put WRC spec rally lights on the front so I could drive at 2am when no one else was on the road. Good living.

Dude, you are one heck of a driver. Those downshifts are very crispy, and for some of us, we use cars as intended. If I ever get the chance to own a GT3, no one will see me, they'll hear me instead.

Awesome video! When the R35 GTR first came out, a friend bought one. I went to go see and drive it one day, pretty cool! I got back in my car a 2007 WRX STi, I realized that GTR is not for me. It felt heavy, numb (I probably wasn’t going fast enough). On the other hand in the STi, I just wanted to do point a to point a drives all the time. It was a blast every time.

what a beautiful car you have there mate!! love it

lol I’ve just come back from a 2000 mile road trip in my 987.2 and watching this video makes me want to go and do it again

Hey @DasCayman Do you think it would be worth it to save up more for a Spyder, or to get a Boxster S for cheaper and then mod it? I really like the humps on the spyder and wondering if there is a way to put that on a normal boxster. Thanks

@DasCayman

Ай бұрын

Hmm, most of these cars share so much DNA... so if you 'really' wanted to buy the parts from the Spyder using PET catalog and putting them on a 987.2 Boxster S you probably could.... I imagine it would cost maybe $10k parts and labor to do the visual conversion... The rear humps are really what drew me to this car. Absolutely love it. But, try and see if you can find a mid-miles Spyder... like 40-60k miles. These 9A1 engines are very stout and mileage shouldn't deter you. Just wait for the spec you want. If $60k bought me a high mileage Spyder or a low mileage S, I'd take the Spyder all day.

@wandereroftheinternet

Ай бұрын

@DasCayman thanks! So theoretically I could buy a spyders roof and humps and install it to an S? I also found a kit from TuneRS Motorsports that converts 986 boxster roof to a 987 spyder roof, so maybe I could get one of those and convert to a 987. Maybe order a custom one from them?
