P.S. The C8 is also ~$30K less too.I understand that speed isn't everything, but it is a big factor. There is a reason that "sport" models have more power, right? It isn't like the M2 (or the C8, I'm assuming), are slouches in the handling department. If it comes down a car with slightly worse handling that is significantly faster (2.8 sec 0-60 is significantly faster than 4.2 or even 3.8), then I'm taking the faster car every time. If power doesn't matter then why aren't there any 200 hp Porsche's currently out there?
First of all, you're not getting that car for $90k. That is unless you want one without Nav, a decent radio (the stock radio doesn't belong in a $30k car), manual heat/ac, etc. The current 2.5 GTS was pushing 90 with shit for content. For $90k, you're better off getting the previous generation GT4. And you'll still get smoked by every shmo that got a base C8 (even C7), on the road and track, never mind the flat-plane Z06 that will be coming out. Not saying the Cayman isn't a great car, its just way over-priced (like all Porsches).
this is why Ford did the whole application/raffle thing to select the owners....I mean I know it sounds kind of lame on the surface...but if you dont do it this way, the market would set the price at 1M plus from day 1. They would have all left the factory, went to the new owners (who over paid whatever dealer ADM to get them) right to the auction block for more profit.
The viper v10 is a good sound, but its not as good as the audi/lambo v10..
I understand but clearly you don't know me lol. No nav is fine with me, don't care about auto climate control...I built up a new 718 GT4; the only thing I added was the 18-ways. To me, they are supposed to be driver's cars. I don't need soccer mom options in my weekend sports car. Hell, I don't even have a backup camera in my M2 and if NAV wasn't standard there's no way in hell I would have paid extra for it. But $90K for a stripper is ridiculous. I get it. I really am just dreaming here.
Honestly, any Cayman is probably a touch too small for me. I think I'd rather a 991 C2S or GTS for $90K. More comfy and I'd really miss the low end grunt of a turbo if I went with a NA F6.
The only REAL money I'll spend on cars this year: black grilles, side markers, and exhaust tips for an updated look for 2020.

any truth to Turbos costing a lot more for insurance than the S or GTS? Was also looking at Nissan GTRs, but they are annually on top of the most expensive cars to insure. Call me cheap, but I can't justify paying thousands more for a weekend car.
I'm with ya man. Having driven various Caymans, C2S, and C4S, the the 911 is the way to go. Another option I like is the certified AMG GT-S. Same price range, the fit and finish is flawless, interior is way better, and the whole package feels more exotic. And amazing V8 sound.
A 1989-1994, right?Nissan GTRs
The Turbo is only 35K more, all things considered, not really that much moreNo idea, but it wouldn't surprise me based just on the MSRPs of the Turbos.
Never was drawn to the GT-S but it is a helluva car.

Was it younger than 25 years? I don't know the entire process, but as long as its over 25 years old, you can bring pretty much anything in. The prices from importers that do the work for you aren't terrible sometimes though. I also know some not-so-legal ones from back in the day when people got VINs from junked 240sx's, etc. as it was basically just shown as a '1992 Nissan 2 Door' or something of the sort. As of this year, you could technically import in the first year R33's.A guy at my gym went through a lot of gymnastics and contortion to import an early JDM GT-R. The car is spectacular, lives up to the glorious hype, but a money pit. Something is always needing repair, and the prices always start at $1000+. And he hasn’t even modded it yet.
Does anyone happen to know the actual availability of the C8s? Convertibles went on preorder last week and all I get from google is that coupes are sold out based on pre-orders. I know many downpayments will not materialize, but waiting till October for a car doesn't appeal to meP.S. The C8 is also ~$30K less too.
P.P.S. I would love to own/drive any Porsche and still have hopes to do so. ?

but I never ride my bikes so completion dates are somewhat unnecessary...October isn't bad based on your bike builds.
