So, I spent a couple days in my buddy's Cayman GT4 while I was in California; and holy shit was it good! The gearing is a slight annoyance because a third gear pull puts you into the 110mph range, but man oh man was it a joy to rev out. That flat-6 makes a noise that you lay awake thinking about...
