Why the 2016 Porsche Cayman GT4 Manual is So Good

[@thatlamborghiniguy5826]

Fantastic car, so much fun to drive.

[@normalguysupercar]

We agree!

[@yodaisgod2]

Yes.

[@normalguysupercar]

Lol

[@mattyp3119]

I have the same spec, just red accents right down to the girodisk aftermarket rotors. It may not feel quite as fast as 911s from butt feel, but i spent a lot of time on track, with groups of Porsches in particular, and these cars are consistently nearly as fast as new 911 GTS's and consistently slightly faster/same as 997 version GT3RS. OG gt4 = new 911gts speedwise. Thats nearly 100hp down on a current day gts but lapping tracks at the same pace . So especially for someone looking to get out on track or wants handling capability as first on their list they should pick this up. It punches way above its pricepoint.

[@karmadel786]

Thanks

[@normalguysupercar]

Agreed

[@hughmann1908]

Love my Cayman and love the GT4 platform, only 2 complaints with the launch year model; too high a gearing and no axel lift. Great review!

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah those would be good changes

[@AB-80X]

Regarding whether or not it has been on track. The only thing that is know to wear on track with these, is the clutch. I have changed one in mine, but it is a "beater car" that I let everyone drive and it has been used to learn several people track driving.

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah seems like the rest is typical consumables for track use

[@shovel_head80]

For the money it’s the most bang for your bucks

[@AB-80X]

It's just a great car period. Few cars makes me as happy to drive as this.

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah it's a really fun car

[@williamjackson5357]

Caymans punch above it’s price point. That’s from base to GT4 RS🏎

[@AB-80X]

@@williamjackson5357 No. I have driven the base and S 718, and those are too expensive for what they are.

[@garyleibitzke4166]

Nice car, good luck with the sale. I solved the sitting on my wallet problem, I've taken it out of my pocket and put it in the door pocket for decades now. Much more comfortable. I agree on the better balance with the mid engine. The only 911 I ever drove was an older air cooled one and it was very tail happy.

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah I normally move it to the front pocket on long drives

[@freddaniali]

Dan, why does anyone care about overrevs??? We overrev our Ferraris on a daily basis?!?!? You mean to tell me that this Porsche engine can't take it??? Then what is the point??? And people get mad when it's tracked??? Sheesh, Porsche peeps I swear...

[@normalguysupercar]

Porsche buyers are a contradiction to Porsche

[@dalej6985]

Nice car.

[@normalguysupercar]

It sure is!

[@ericwelch]

Sold! That was fast 💨

[@normalguysupercar]

Yup

[@CoderMan]

You can absolutely whip these around on the track, or even backroads. I'm on my second one now.

[@normalguysupercar]

Yup it has excellent balance and butt feel

[@CoderMan]

@@normalguysupercar Only mod (aside from exhaust) to make it perfect would be the gear ratio change or goes ball to the wall and do the stroked 4.5L engine mod and get a GT3 for half the cost.

[@mr.beansstuff1370]

Love my Cayman. Full Soul Exhaust. Done a number of rallies and have had a lot of air cooled 911 owners say my car makes a wonderful sound and wished they could get an exhaust sound like mine out of their car. Even the stock sport seats will dig your wallet into your butt. I always take mine out on longer drives.

[@normalguysupercar]

Nice

[@kevinmanning8214]

Very nice spec, I don’t think that one’s gonna be around long. I have the same problem with my wallet sometimes the big differences I’ve got 1s and 5s you’ve probably got 50s and 100s…lol

[@normalguysupercar]

Lol thanks

[@tg_ny]

Wondering how this car compares to a Ferrari 360

[@normalguysupercar]

This is far more track focused and nowhere near as comfortable, but it's probably much faster

[@Ed37069]

Are you guys familiar with ‘lemon squad’? Any thoughts on using them to pdi.

[@normalguysupercar]

Heard of them but haven't used them so I don't really have an opinion on them. I would say I think it makes sense to have someone who knows the car model specifically vs generalized knowledge of cars.

[@AB-80X]

This is still one of my all time favs. I think I have 80k km on mine and at least 25k of those are track. I can't imagine selling it. Great gearbox, the 918 seats are perfect and it just sounds cool out of the box. That is with the factory sports exhaust though.

[@normalguysupercar]

That's proper use!

[@markrio7188]

DME report?

[@normalguysupercar]

It's sold already

[@skylerssupercarlife348]

Dropped 2 hours ago... already sold

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah it went quick

[@CubanDre]

Wow. Published 12 hours ago. Already sold

[@normalguysupercar]

Yup

[@TRZ0612]

I have a 22' 718 PDK GT4 w/ a Kline Inconel exhaust and I swear the 2016's sound just as good , if not better, than my Kline equipped one. I just passed 36K miles on mine and it has been flawless mechanically thus far.

[@normalguysupercar]

Nice

[@rmk2895]

This video must have sold the car, less than 7 hours after it was posted 😃

[@normalguysupercar]

Actually it was sold before the video came out

[@meandean3754]

You shouldn't carry a wallet in your back pocket, not good for the skeleton. Get it in your front pocket!

[@normalguysupercar]

I move it on longer trips

[@toddjones9715]

Dan need to ditch the wallet and get a Ridge. Great car too

[@normalguysupercar]

I have a thin wallet already

[@turboboost99]

Your ass will be more comfortable if you put your wallet in your leg pocket! That's what I do when I drive my Ferrari.

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah I do on longer drives

[@UNLOCKsilo]

Too bad it's not gated

[@normalguysupercar]

Ok
