Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!
- Thread starter daro911

its 2.3k :-( not sure about the sound, just have to go on youtube vids, and it seems to be the nicest but as the Spyders only got a small 48mm exhaust I can use the Cayman R 55mm exhaust on the spyder or move the 55mm Tubi to the spyder when I sell the R next year. I was tempted to just buy the Gert modded standard 55MM R exhaust for £1.2k, he mods it to sound louder than the PSE and of course it's 55mm not 48mm. trying to think about weight savings on the Spyder for next year and my Spyder mods over the winter. aim is 260bhp and 1200kg's with the Spyder for 2015.
Unless you can hear it live on another 987 it's far to risky IMO chucking that much money at something that could be a total step in the wrong direction Youtube video recordings are hardly an indication of what is actually going on from the cockpit in my experiences [
] If you go ahead I can then hear it in real time [] I don't disagree with you both. I also think that the Italians will design their cars with more flare than German manufacturers ever will. My money-no-object choice of car would almost certainly be Italian. The Ferrari's raucous V8 comes across as naturally so and I like that. Ferrari engines sound great. But if a flat six is naturally not a very vocal engine, i'm not so into trying to amplify it through an exhaust mod. I know i'm in the minority there. It's like in F1 there was uproar that the new V6 turbo being quieter that the previous V8s. OK I get that, but trying to extract more noise from the V6 turbo for the sake of cosmetics would be a strange direction for F1 to go in. So far they have failedORIGINAL: daro911I think you both make some great points but flat6 I have to say that having owned 12 x Porsches since coming to the brand/party up until 981/991 era their lack of audio drama for so many years the number 1 useable sports cars in the world for decades has always left me perplexed[&o] These cars do need to sound the part and finally after so long Porsche has made a move in the right noises direction but sadly still only as an expensive "option" and not standard kit on all but the very base models at the very least IMO Hats off to Jag who have given every F Type above the base model a soundtrack to match the power and machinery The Italian sports car maker has always been with the programme in recent decades and those prancing horses were never concerned about being PC with the 20-40mph drive by nanny state programming Porsche have finally ditched
that black cars done the rounds alright, shame the new owner cannot keep it, when it was for sale at £41k it was for sale at 36k private, then went to a 3rd party dealer then went to a OPC jumping in price every time. very odd history with this car passing around every week some where else. it would be a VERY cheap way to get PCCB on your car, you could buy it, swap over the braking system, then sell it for the same money !! or a few K less that's tempting for my R as you have to change hubs and a lot of bits, means you get a big brake it for little money.

It passed around 3 dealers not owners, that was the odd bit gaining in price every time. A cheap way to buy buckets or PCCB though for just the cost of 2 or 3k swapping the bits out and just reselling the car.ORIGINAL: jdpef356 Previos owners perhaps did not like the Ceramics, or could it have been those funny skinny seats
