Cayman R VS Boxster Spyder - differences
#11
thanks to the replies ~ ^^..
another question.. whats the differences between the engines?
i assume the 3.4 liter engine has a lot more potential than the factory settings... look at those black editions.. adding 10hp everytime.. lol
is it just because porsche wanted to make a difference between the two..? so they set a 10 hp difference.. or does it really has something difference between the engines ? @@

So quiet that in fact you can't tell us what these 'changes' are, right Carrera? As soon as you find out from your sources at the secret bunker under Weissach, please enlighten the rest of us what EXACTLY are the R's superior suspension changes over the Spyder's! We know they differ from the normal Cayman S...but the Spyders??? Saludos, z356 (Carmel).
Excellence :: Open and Shut Case: Track Test : Cayman R vs. Boxster Spyder
Like all, I will have to wait until the full article comes out at the beginning of October to read the entire report. But I think that Johannes comments in the video speak volumes about the Spyder in relationship to the Cayman R. Like you pointed out, I have been a big proponent of the Cayman R and have posted favorably on it in many previous posts. However, in the end, I decided to go with a Spyder simply because I thought it was one of the most attractive visual designs Porsche has produced in a long time. The fact now that it's handling is not overshadowed by the Cayman R is just icing on the cake!
My Aqua Blue Metallic/Carrera Red interior Spyder arrived at my home about a week ago. Enclosed is a photo. In order to to duplicate the same post in different forums, those interested in this color combination & specs can find out more details at the following thread at Rennlist:
ttp://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/987-forum/654447-my-aqua-blue-metallic-carrera-red-12-spyder-tale-of-a-custom-order.html
In that thread, I am trying to explain fully the entire custom ordering process, which could be equally applied to any other model you are thinking of ordering from Porsche. I hope some of you find it useful.

Thanks for the article! I had sort of a feeling you were holding back on something judging by some of your posts before and after that one!
You're Spyder is absolutely gorgeous! I love the red headlight washer. And honestly, in the end like you, I'd end up choosing the Spyder.

As i have said time and time again --- the Spyder is so amazingly perfect in its style and shape i could care less what the spring rates and track times are.
z356, your car is so perfect -- i must have read that thread on Rennlist 5 times this weekend while pretending to be listening to my girlfriend
To the OP --- have you made a decision on which one you will buy?
