Just bought this for my Cousin... Cayman S

I know I know this isn't an E90 m3 (soon baby), but if not an M3, I would buy this car. I drove the car twice, and this car handles like a mother. I love the exhaust sound on this car. Good power band too. . Just wanted to share. I have to ship this overseas. If anyone know a good reputable shipping company out here in Los Angeles, please let me know ASAP. Thank you

First to Saudi Arabia, then it is gonna be shipped to Lebanon. It will be registered in Saudi due to inexpensive tax-10%- vs lebanon-50%. He wanted the S-tronic. Still a fun car though. Man that car is a power rocket, on steroid; scary combo.

Is this the one with the new upgrades to the engine? When I test-drove an S last year, it felt a bit underpowered. Part of why I went with the M.

Whoa, just noticed the Azenis as well. Does Porsche really equip the cayman standard with RT615s?

RT615 + rain = accident waiting to happen.

I don't know much about those tires. I did hear them, and they are noisy. Oh well, he can change them later on. Those tires came with the vehicle, and I am assuming is what the dealer slapped on.
The reason that he wanted an auto is because in Lebanon, traffic is bad. But, once you hit the mountains, all open roads-hehehe rally time.

Congrats. I had one for about 2 years and really enjoyed it (especially on track). Check out caymanclub.net if you haven't already.

Nope, those upgrades will be on the facelift for around early next year.
