Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

"it’s also a clearly superior sports car than the Boxster GTS we reviewed recently – and by a bigger margin that you’d credit " woops the extra 4 weeks they take to tune the Cayman seems to have paid off and the Boxster is the car left behind. As with the R the cars more polished than the Spyder, but the Spyder holds it's own due to that body work. But the R has so many little tweaks, 55mm exhaust, blacks light surronds, better remap, stiffer rear ARB Seems odd the Spyder was not tweaked as much and the R was really fine tuned. only 1 R for sale at an OPC today and it's £45k !!! but still the best sports car money can buy.ORIGINAL: daro911 This test report should appeal to any Kman "R" owners too thinking of a replacement Checkout the new heated buckets and the fancy red striped seatbelts[] http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/porsche/cayman/first-drives/porsche-cayman-gts-uk-first-drive-review

Which it has to be said was an incredible achievement on both your parts given the very high quality of the competition (ie - me!) Good to see you guys, really enjoyed the day. Rob - I also discovered on the way home that, somewhat surprisingly, that if you change down a PDK gear whilst using cruise control it stays on! See you Brands next week.
I'd take 4th all day long in that company!! I got home on 35.9mpg, average speed 69mph! 981 tech is amazing.

I mentioned this before when a model of my car came up....There was an initial rush to buy, I was not that fussed. A month or so after the release, "speculators" were selling mint, boxed examples off at around 50% of the initial price. I assume the models are not in such safe hands as the real Spyders! []
]Indeed I am daro! This is my Spyder. I await Mr D tearing it apart. Still not sure that I want to sell it but have had it for two years and fancy a change (not sure to what though!). Took it down to Goodwood at the weekend and it was just terrific throughout - and saw a 918 Spyder in the car park too - that really is my favourite of the three new "hypercars". I've given the asking price a little haircut this morning - I've had some interest but nothing firm as yet. Any questions please send me an e-mail through the advert. I will not be that upset if I keep it for a while longer - trip to the Italian lakes is currently in the planning stages for the summer!
