    Question RS6 is now my Sunday driver. Porsche

    I got a Porsche Cayman S now as my daily..I still have the RS6 though, just as a Sunday driver. Does anyone know any other good Porsche forums? I see there are a couple out there. Just wanted your guys opinion of the best forums, since you guys ARE the best forum!

    Rennlist and Pelican parts are two great forums.

    Congrats! I too just became a Porsche owner this month

    6speedonline is the forum I just joined. It's a mostly late model Porsche forum but also includes air-cooled and other high end marques.

    Thanks for the suggestions. Did you get rid of the Audi Turbowned?

    Congrats!

    I have a 997 C4s, and spend most of my time on Rennlist. I visit 6speedonline once in awhile, but there is not nearly as much going on there.

    As a Cayman owner, youll definitely want to join planet-9. That seems to be where all the Cayman and Boxster guys hang out.

    Good Luck and enjoy the car !!!

    So Specs on the Cayman? I see it's and S. 6spd or PDK? I did the Porsche experience drive 6mths back and loved the Cayman GTS with the PDK. I've heard from a in the know Porsche guy that if I had loved the GTS then the GT4 is night and day better and not really a bad almost daily driver. 3.8ltr in the Cayman and shave 100lbs, gotta love that.

    Almost picked up an 09 CaymanS as well but decided on a C4S to be my
    RS6's stablemate. They compliment each other quite well . Cheers !

    Negative. Still waiting for me to get off my butt and replace the steering rack, control arms and shocks. I'm hoping I won't have to sell her once that's completed.

    Shameless pic of my new 911 (and the BRZ getting traded in):


    I'll have to check out Rennlist now...

    lol no shame. What are we all doing these days? Buying Porsches from Audis? I actually op'ed out of a 6 speed. When you live in the San Antonio Area a manual is terrible. I have the triptronic. Pretty base car.

    The Porsche/Audi RS6 ownership club continues to grow. Congrats on the nice ride!!! Mine is fairly basic as well- it does have the 6sp but is missing radio and most interior bits..;0

    Ohhhh, now you show up....due to excessive Porsche content (and my own jealousy) this thread needs to be closed...

    Funny story: two days after I traded my BRZ for the 911 my friend Sam messaged me on Facebook asking how I liked the car. He started doing research on them and within a week had put his supercharged BRZ back to stock and picked out a similar silver '05 Carrera S; he just collected it from the dealer two days ago! I let my friend Paul drive it (who owns a turbocharged, widebody BRZ), and I suspect the recent "I might want to sell my car" vibes I've been seeing on Facebook have something to do with driving my car

    I got a chance to attend a Porsche driving experience two days ago and thrashed my car on the track; it felt fantastic! It totally validated my purchase (at least until they put me behind the wheel of the 2015 Cayman S PDK with a whole host of optional extras and it made my 911 feel archaic!)

    I have never been an advocate of automatic/dual clutch gearboxes but after finding situations where it was actually difficult to make a gear change while coming out of a banked corner into a short straight, I could really see the advantage of the PDK. Not as fun as rowing your own, but definitely superior if you're chasing the fastest lap times.

    Good thing they didn't put you in a new GT3.

    It's all pretty much a disappointment after that.

    Nice 997, and yeah, Rennlist is definitely where the most 997 guys are.

    Since everyone else is posting pics, here's mine, an 08 C4s 6speed







    These cars a complete blast to drive. All I can say to anyone interested in them, is go for an extended test drive in an area with some nice twisty roads. For most people, a spirited drive on the right roads, will be more than enough to make them a fan.
