Is this possible? I can't believe it. The Cayman looks like a limo.

Thanks for the facts, Tom. I was a little baffled at the 1800# claim too. That's where my last one was, but it took a whole hell of a lot of work to get down there. There were zero amenities left, lots of controversial losses. Like the emissions crap, including the charcoal canister delete that some scoff at - but a pound is a pound and you have to get it everywhere you can. You cannot get to #1800 without some serious work and sacrifices.

Wouldn't it be great Rand - if Porsche would stick their new turbo flat-4 WBXs from the new 718 Boxster/Cayman - into a somewhat smaller sub-Boxster body/chassis that weighed-in in the 2000-2500# range now - even if they won't give credit to our 914s in the naming!!?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I'm sure that they could even modify the original Boxster prototype a bit to get to that size & weight goal - & then beat the pants off of the Miata/Alpha/Fiat contenders with a middie engine. even if it cost a bit more than those contenders in the sub-Boxster/Cayman segment! IIRC, that prototype started out smaller & lighter & therefore closer to a "current sub-Boxster" - as they have grown a bit. The perfect "extra car" weekend racer, AXer, & weekend fun car! Maybe even another JV with VW is in line?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) - on paper this time so Porsche doesn't get jacked around again as they were on the 1st on the 914 - then VW can do their own design take for a "new Ghia" too!
