I grew up around 914's, 911's, and 928's. My dad road raced a few 914s in the late 80s and early 90s so I had a chance to see alot of gorgeous cars. I finally got to sit in a caymen the other day though... There is something about that car. We currently own a 74 914 1.8, the long term goal being a six, big brembos, and maybe steel flares. Despite all the fun stuff ahead for the 14, I think my five year plan has to be a Caymen. I think its almost fitting thought that porsche still did not make a flag ship out of the caymen. It rewards the person who won't buy the cheaper boxster just to own a porsche, and doesn't buy a 911 just for the status. Theres no real point to my blurb here, it would be cool to hear fromt those of you who own this car and can give soem feed back.

Fairly base "s" model with custom color and interior (wife's pick, actually her car), 6 speed, headlight upgrade. I'll let you know how it goes. Gonna try to run a Euro track somewhere, maybe the "Ring". We both got a chance to a/x one at the Portland Parade this last year with tiptronic and a lot of push dialed into the set up. Still good fun. Neat car. |
