Amazing, I want one! Would it be rude how much you paid? What state? Private party transactions? I just went to a car event and the Porsche were my favorite. (Video on my channel)

Congrats. I bought a 2006 silver Cayman S at 92k miles for 12K and it was the best 12K I ever spent. Local places now contact me to sell. Never. Something about the way this car makes you feel. Just a blast to drive and the cornering makes you think you're a better driver than you are. Some kid pulled up to me and thought it was some new variation (sexiest car he ever saw). Makes me realize 2006 is not so recent anymore but the 987s are now a classic and never gives him any gruff.

just starting watching the video just want to say congratulations!

Great car and it looks like a 3 year old car. I have cayman 987 2008 model year and owned for past 2 years and no regrets I had the steering wheel and gear knob re trimmed in alcantara and best decision I made on modifying this car

Great pick up! I get the feeling a lot of folks will not be happy when these get out of reach

Excellent choice. I have also been leaning towards a cayman lately, although it would be hard to replace the i8 as my DD. Look forward to seeing your customizations! Cheers!

Now I want one of those!!! And the pats garage sticker too!!!

i love how much you love this car

The way you steer drives me mad, 😂 but fantastic video and even better car 👍🏼

I got a 07 Cayman in meteor grey too and it's the best car I've had.

congrats pat

Omg i love your Cayman !!

I need this car so bad in my life but innee to save for a while. I currently drive a manual 1998 fwd 200sx and I still have a blast in it. I can't even image what its like driving this car a decent speed around some bends.

congrats!

Wow its like watching a kid with a new toy life is to short keep injoying yourself i don't know you but it was fun watching you get i kick out of your car which i my say porsches are awesome.

Like the screen too nice makes it more modern too wow man awesome , man i cant wait to buy one and take it to the parkway i like the color kind of low key but i do think a lime green or orange with porsche decal on rocker could definatley contribute extra value but alot of value being low key too so theres that lol

Get a 987.2 manual S with the 3.4L engine. Considered by many to be the last great Porsche. After this gen they went to electric steering. I have a 2012 S manual with virtually every option available. Porsche sold less than 450 2012 Caymans in the USA and very few were an S. I bought it in 2015 with 9,000 miles for $57,000, which is roughly what I could sell it for now! Amazing car! Pulls 1.0 G on the skid pad and has essentially zero body lean. Had 911's before and would never go back!

I’m looking for one now and it’s not easy when they are far away and it’s tough to know the mechanical condition. I would like one just like yours.

Hi Pat ! Awsome video about an awsome car ! I coudn't agree more with you since I own a speed yellow 6 speed manual 2007 Cayman S that I bought back in july 2013 with 20000 miles and still own it today at 60000 miles (I live in the province of Quebec so I don't drive it in the winter ! ) You refer to smaller wheel / tire diameter in your video. What are the wheels ( model, diam+width front /back) and tire size front/back on your car ? My car currently runs stock 19 in. Porsche design wheels with stock tire size ( wraped with Michelins Pilot super sport 4S). I am thinking about downsizing to 18 in. with lighter wheels to improve performance & comfort ( our roads are a tad rough around here...). Looking forward to your next content on the Cayman !

i was thinking what if u could test every Porsche model 🤔 i would love to see your reaction on porsche 991 R or touring model Porsche 911 Carrera 4S

Incredible car, and a timeless, analog classic! The prices on these are going up quite a bit in the past month,. With the 911 market getting out of control price wise. Caymans are naturally next in line to follow suit. I just acquired a 2008 Cayman S. How do you like the Fabspeed exhaust? I am currently looking for an exhaust system, looking at Soul Performance, and Fabspeed.

@PatsGarageOnline

2 жыл бұрын

I love the sound of the Fabspeed and others who hear me on the road love it as well. I have no idea what it compares to as I haven't heard any other aftermarket exhaust on a Cayman. Mine was installed by the previous owner so I can't do a before/after sound recording on it, either.

My friend treated himself to a lovely low mileage Cayman S recently, it's in amazing condition and performs really well, or so he thought until I took him for a ride in my Alfa Romeo 4C Spider.😥 I told him I'd post this comment just to wind him up. 😅

Nice! What is the suspension set up? Thx

Nice Cayman S you have, enjoy. Do your white gauges turn matte silver when turning the lights on at night? I ask, as I have a 2nd gen Cayman S and they change as I mentioned.

Hey Pat, I love you video! Especially the way you mounted your cameras - not too stiff - they perfectly capuure the feel when driving this awesome car. I own a 987 Cayman S myself and know exactly why you love this machine 8^D One piece of advice: Try working on your steering technic and the placement of your hands on the wheel. Think about why those thumb rests are placed where they are. I promise it will even imporove your steering joy ;) cheers!

I am also a Cayman owner and these cars are so well engineered. It might seem like a mid engine car would be hard to work on, but it's really not. They do have a tendency to be sensitive in some areas. (don't over fill the oil, random 02 sensor error twice a year, etc.) But I agree with Jan, they are very reliable from what I've experienced.

Good call replacing the spoiler, proper mid engine canyon rat

Great video ! I’m on my 2nd 06 cayman S 987.1 I’m going to get another haha… they’re truly the best car built, next to the 16 GT4 981 gen… now the exhaust you have on your car the Fabspeed. How do you feel about it for daily driving. Is it too much or how do you feel?

Awesome! I love the Fabspeed. It doesn't sound too loud in the cabin and everyone that comments to me told me they like it. On a long trip, it can be slightly annoying (even louder than my NSX which has valves to route the exhaust thru no muffler). But, definitely a great sound.

Very different cars from my experience. Cayman and the Cayman S especially are leaps and bounds ahead of the others. The Toyota/Subie models are fun little cars if you want a nimble and enjoyable driving experience. You really need to drive both, because while the BRZ and FRS are fun to drive, once you drive the Cayman or Cayman S….. The other cars feel like kids toys. The Porsche truly needs to be experienced to understand how connected it feels. It can also handle pretty much any speed with uncompromising confidence and ease.
