Thing is a beast, it's pretty much be what the Cayman should be if Porsche ever decide it can be better than the 911 but we already know why that won't happen.
Not a big fan of the whole new kit though, I like the rear but the new front fascia is just a bit too aggressive for me I guess.
I prefer the look of the regular Caymans with an added splitter to be honest.

Man I got quote this again because I was going from first to last and damn even the M1 beat the Evora? At least it looks better than the 1-series.

Word... someone should organize a re-run with Lambos, Koenigseggs, Paganis, a Bugatti and the McLaren MP4-12C

The only stock Porsche I'd buy would be the 911 GT3 (unless I wanted to take a Cayman to TechArt).
The GT2 is too stripped down, but the GT3 is a beast and naturally aspirated and wouldn't be a pain to daily drive.

Really? You wouldn't buy a stock Porsche outside of the GT3? Are you planning to race everyone you see on the streets?
Hows the GT2 stripped down? I'd take it over the GT3.
I mean I'm all for tuning a car as the next guy but I'd be pretty happy with the power and handling on plenty of these production cars.
I'd only tune a car if I truly want to take that to the track often.

Well if you remember from your last thread I said the only reason I'd buy a Porsche was to get a true driver's car which would be used mainly on the track/fast cruising.
Porsche is a performance/driver-oriented brand, so if I were to buy one it would have to have that maximum potential. The GT2 is waaay more expensive than the GT3, with GT2 money I would take a Lambo Superleggera and never look back.
But yeah, I'm not driving any "standard" Porsche around, it's gotta be something ready to MOVE.

I remember but I guess I just translated that last post wrong. Just sounded like if you have the chance to get a 911 Carrera as a daily driver you wouldn't or any Porsche for that matter unless it is a GT3. And that's fine, it just read like you want to race all the time and beat every single car on the road.

Oh well in that case, yeah you got it right. Only Porsche's I'd get are Panamera Turbo (or other models... I don't really care about the Panamera as a performance car), 911 GT3 and the Carrera GT. I'd drive the others, but I wouldn't buy them if I had the money to.
And nah, I don't street race... but it's good to know I will win

Apparently, all you need is a used Dodge Charger SRT8. Beats everything on the streets, not just in power and speed, but in value as well.

But dude, I got a question and you're a Porsche enthusiast so you probably know. What are the benefits to the GT3's naturally-aspirated engine as compared to a forced induction one? All I know is that it produces a unique sound... people are always saying the GT3 is great because it's a high-revving naturally-aspirated car. What is so good about that? I know the benefits of a NA engine include better reliability (not always the case though)... and forced induction usually has better fuel economy. So what's good with the NA engines in the Porsche?

Because Motortrend doesn't want the GTR to lose? Makes no sense.
However, I heard it depends on what the automaker sends them, that is why some are saying that Ferrari somewhat cheated because the car is more tuned for the track instead of the regular production version (just what I read from the comments). So maybe Chevy sent them the Z06 for the track for some reason?

Mainly because the GT2 RS has a twin-turbo.
Now rumors are the new Caymans might have a turbo'd i4, problem is it will lack low-end torque. I love cars but a tuner I am not but iirc turbos can take time to spool up (turbo lag) but for the most part that is mainly a problem with smaller engines like i4s and I doubt that is the main reason they stayed away from it on the GT3. So for the most part, a NA 6 cylinder > Turboed 4 cylinder, then again of course Turboed 6 > NA 6 but a NA 8 > Turboed 6 and so on...
Again, I could be wrong on that and I am sure there are car heads here that can explain it much better.

I almost think it wasnt included of out of consideration for all the other manufacturers.
I agree, it really dosent make any sense. But we all know who would have won had it been included.
