I have a 2014 Cayman S and it’s a great car - I couldn’t process driving that particular car with it’s hp, g rating and torque.

If you didn't purchase a 918, then no allocation for you

The sad thing is they were having trouble selling all the 918’s before construction began. Now they’re selling for roughly double MSRP, and the 911R they sold 918 owners sells for triple its MSRP. So if you had the forethought (and $900k) to buy a 918 you could’ve made more than a million bucks.

But you’d probably be in the doghouse with Porsche and wouldn’t get a GT2RS.

I have the flat 6, the newer models have a 4 with a turbo - not a fan.

The only real issue with the new 981 is the sound, both in and out of the cockpit. The chassis is significantly better and it has more power as well. There is also the fact it is/will be much cheaper to tune. The new Cayman S is as fast as the GT4 with the same tire which is a huge testament to the chassis.

The 981 GT4 will probably have a NA 3.6 but I really wish they would build it with a turbo 3.4 (the purists would cry). With that engine you could get in the 500hp range with software, cats (or decat) and mufflers. The 981 chassis deserves that kind of power. With 200 cel cats and straight pipes it would sound pretty good and with 500 hp it would be a track day beast.
