Hello Everyone!
Ended up picking up a lightly used CPO GTS 4.0 in Arctic Grey. Absolutely love this car and the motor is truly special in this chassis.
Overall I really like Arctic grey as well. I got it tinted, and had some light pain correction/PPF done. Really enjoying it so far - my first NA motor.
I bought a 987 and wanted to make it look cool so this is what ive done so far. Plan on putting canards and splitter and Also a diffuser for more aero. I feel like canards and splitter may mess up the beautiful front end though
I recently received my 2025 Cayman GTS and sold my 2016 Cayman GTS. Very surprised and pleased with the performance upgrades. The 2016 was my daily drive and I thought the car was nearly perfect, a high bar for sure which to my surprise the 2025 cleared.
The only disappoint was my mistake, I assumed keyless entry was standard on the GTS model. My 2016 had it and I truly miss it. I’m also finding my color (dark grey metallic) and wheel choice (black) takes some getting used to after driving the white Cayman for ten years. Black wheels may have also been a mistake but I’m liking them more as time passes. I now need to learn how to post images from my iPhone photo library. Sorry but pictures later.
Onward!
This beautiful white Cayman just rolled in from Florida and we wanted to share it before saying too much.
For now, all we’ll say is that it starts life as a 3.4.
We’ll reveal more when the time is right, but at this stage it felt worth just appreciating how clean this car is.

Hi guys any idea how to avoid this ? The car is approved so I need to have Porsche brakes disks. I am wondering if it’s the way I drive on track (2s off a pro driver more or less), when I brake slam the brakes then trail brake.
I have PS4s and rsl29. I do max 3 fast laps and max 10 laps per session generally more like 8.
The cars is a cayman s 718. Camber maxed out. No other mods except pads and fluid.
Disks have 5 track days.
A Ferrari 812 passed by just before getting back on the road and I caught him about a minute later, had to back off to get clear road through the fun stuff.
I received my new 2025 Cayman GTS in early December. I’m guessing it may be one of the last gas fueled Caymans off the line in Germany. Loving the car so far and surprised by the performance enhancements compared to my 2016 Cayman GTS. Onward!
Back from two days at INDE Motorsports ranch. The green GTS didn’t go ‘cause its owner thought the RS made more sense. I cannot say enough good things about that track. Very challenging to learn, and beautiful flow once you get it (sort of) figured out. Along with great staff, amazing food, and beautiful SW US scenery. Oh yeah, they have Cayman S’s and BMW M4s to rent if you don’t want to bring your own car.
Anyway, we were trying to figure out what you’d call a group of Caymans. As in “A crash of Mustangs”, “A mullet of Camaros”, “A salon of Boxsters”, or “A delinquent of Altimas”.
Just picked my 981 up from getting the rims and calipers redone. Satin black with Guards Red calipers. I know there are a lot of black wheel haters but this looks so good to me!
For my Cayman S from 2007, and I’ve always wanted to keep the car original. However, this upgrade literally refreshed the interior. I’m kind of in love with it, but also a bit of a hater. It was incredibly easy to upgrade; just plug and play. The tiptronic pedals are working, which made me really happy about it.
I'm new. Hello. Could I ask for your opinions
I'm finally entering into the Porsche world. I've got a conundrum. We're in the UK and living here for about another year. I'm keen to do a bunch of long roadtrips around the UK and Europe. Over the next months and some nice date nights out of the city and some proper camping. I'm stuck between these two cars. 987.2 3.4 S. Cayman or Boxter. I wasnt thinking about a Boxter, but I found a pretty one (when the top is down at least. I'm a photographer so the open top became appealing when I'm switching back and forth with the Mrs is driving. I'm going to sell when we move and we're getting a 997 c4s for family car when we move back to the States to raise little ones. None now. Both under 50k miles about £24-£25k which one you think? Or is this too much? Cheaper gen 1s but the risk of then trying to sell in a year and have it have scoring. 🤷 Happy for thoughts! I'm buying something this week and want to do a cheeky roadtrip to Germany for my birthday this weekend maybe a few laps of neurburghring. Might do one at brands hatch when I'm back, but I think mostly driving.
Just upgraded the wheel and added an Alibaba android head unit. Head unit sounds amazing, as I have a separate harness powering the amp directly. And the wheel makes me feel much more confident in my car, not to mention the fact that it’s beautiful!
My company is doing some development work for Brembo's racing division, and I need some visibility into HPDE/track day users for the calipers on this list.
Information will be used to start pilot production runs on said calipers if there is enough HPDE users on a given FMSI pad shape.
As some of you know I'm in the market for a Porsche 981 / 718 (depending on spec and price, etc.) and in perfect world I would go with a Porsche Approved Used but those options seem out of my budget, so I'm always on AutoTrader looking for my next car!
I'm going to avoid private sellers so will go with a dealer but I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences with any UK dealers when buying their Cayman so I have an idea which ones I can trust / which ones I should potentially avoid?
Hi everyone, looking for some advice on a CPO situation that feels like a major oversight. I bought a 2018 718 Cayman as a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle from a dealership in Southern California back in late August. I’ve put about 6,000 miles on it since then.
The Red Flags:
The Current Status: I reached out to Porsche North America, and they have already responded by asking if I am seeking a repurchase (buyback) of the vehicle.
My Questions:
(I’ve also found some... interesting... discrepancies with the tires they installed, but that’s a whole other story.) Pic for visibility.
