As far as PTV goes, based on my research, I diddn't deem it necessary. Hopping from the M4 to the Cayman was already a huge leap in suspension performance for me so I felt like I wouldn't really be able to feel the difference having not felt the baseline car. That's just my .02 The sports suspension (X73) offers a 20mm lower ride height from stock Cayman/Boxster, and a 10mm lower ride than PASM (Standard on GTS). PASM is like M adaptive suspension in terms of adjustability. X73 is static and cannot be adjusted. It also includes a solid rear sway bar, where as PASM has a hollow sway bar that weighs 5 lbs less. While X73's stance and ride are a bit more aggressive, I didn't really feel it was necessary,at least for me since the Cayman is already such a low car and you sit much lower in it than the M4, and the overhang on the front is longer and more prone to scraping as is. Believe me when I tell you that out of the box, this car needs NOTHING aside from your preference in ultra high performance summer tire. Coming from a lowered and bouncy as F*** M4, I'm not touching the suspension on this thing. As far as other options go, the best part about Porsche is that you can put whatever you want in it. PCM is about $4,000 but feels like Windows 95 compared to the BMW, but without it, you may as well be using MS DOS. Base GTS is 75K, and mine was 90K with PDK, PCM, 18 way seats, Satin Wheels, F+R parking sensors and a couple other bullshit options that should have been standard that Porsche gouges on. Don't pass up on the Porsche Sports Exhaust (Standard on GTS) or the Sports steering wheels (also standard on GTS). In summary, GTS is almost like a discounted package of all the options you would have wanted to begin with, all bundled into one. Saves you some money, and as with Porsche, the more "Rare" your car is, the higher the residual in the long run. Hope this helped |

Not to mention, the exclusivity of driving a Porsche is another factor to consider. In Irvine, M3/4's are a dime a dozen, so the Porsche was a nice change. One thing I have noticed is that I dont get as much attention in this as I did in the YMB M4 (which is welcome). Although, people will more often than not never let me over to switch lanes for some reason, as I'm now probably that "rich asshole". |

I could never dd a car this small or slow... great car but I completely dont get the point of cars like this on the street... at least w the M car you get to experience acceleration and tq on the daily, here you get handling that you won't use above an m4's on the street in any way... my opinion stands... for the street... turbo 911or bust

Luckily opinions are like assholes, and yours seems to stink a little more than the rest Its in no way slow or small. I dont need the unusable power in the M4 just like you don't need the suspension in the Cayman. Comes down to preference. Thanks for the kind words. |

Had a 640i Grand Coupe think he raced me. He did a ricer fly by and gave me a thumbs down, cut me off and rolled down his window to tell me my "shits weak". Ironically, he was the one with the europlate that read "GranSickx" |

Congratulations man! You sir have a fine car.
I'm really split on either getting a Cayman GTS or the F80. After having driven the F82, I can safely say the power is copious and maybe too much to actually have fun in? I think for the money the F80 is a solid sports sedan but I realize that I've been driving sports cars for most of my entire life and may miss the visceral feel going into an F80. Sapphire blue, X73, PTV, platinum satin wheels, Bose surround, and some leather. Pretty much the only options I would get. |

Thank you very much Cant go wrong with either car. Truthfully, while the M4 was batshit fast and had loads of modern gizmo's, It lacked the soul that the Porsche has. I'd drive both back to back if you can. They are completely different and not even comparable in my opinion |

I never liked the rear on those cars. Sorry man....I'd keep the M4. I also couldn't imagine that car could sniff the M4 with a tune, performance-wise....in the twisties, that's a different ball game....
