Hope you guys can help with some info and experiences.
1) Is the Gen 2 2.9 a dfi engine or is that just the 3.4?
2) How does the 2.9 drive, is it torquey, revvy or both?
3) PASM - worth it or not?
4) Beck Evans in Kent - anyone heard about them - its a long way from me, but their pricing seems almost too good to be true for some of their cars
I had a 986 S and it looks like the power for that and the 2.9 are quite close. I loved that car, it was my first Porsche and that's why i'm thinking of getting another.......but i also like the shape of the Cayman. I've never driven one, but all the test reports are always very glowing. I'm looking for a car to have the odd blast and travel to work in, but it doesn't need to be a track special
I've just come out of a gen2 997 c4s and am a bit concerned that the base Boxster or Cayman maybe too tame. However, i love the sound of the engine just behind you in the mid engine cars, so am drawn to that.
So will a Cayman 2.9 be fast enough or should i be looking at the S (but it would need to be a gen1 Cayman and probably a gen 1 Boxster)
Lots of questions, any help anyone. I know i'm being a bit vague, but trying to crstalise in my mind what i want - value for money is a big one which is why i keep being drawn to the Boxster, but i do like the Cayman shape. Need to drive the Cayman to be sure, but was hoping that other people could add their 2p in
thanks
Jon
