Cayman GTS 4.0

[JST]

Hm, let me see if I can do it from memory.

Shark blue
Wheels painted silver
Leather interior (dash and door panels) with RaceTex accents
Leather seat centers
Smokers package (gives you an extra power point)
Luggage net in passenger footwell
Heated multifunction steering wheel
Keyless entry
Bose audio
Nav

I think that’s it?

Late to the party but what a beautiful car. So much congrats!!

Looking forward to some more feedback about the car, also.

I think the 987.2 is a high water mark (to me) because of the design and the DI flat six. But the JST car sure makes me re-think those opinions.

Well, I do think it’s the ordinary human’s super car. Expensive, but not insane. Daily drivable. A long-haul keeper. And a bit of a sleeper in the world of high performance cars.

Definitely a smart buy as the ICE age recedes…

I mean, the torque / hp specs are actually kind of comparable to the S65. A little more torque, a little less rpm. It’s not really a surprise that it wants to rev out.

I am a huge fan of the way that Porsche approaches their motors.

But nothing sounds as good as the S65 — the induction howl and exhaust note are still probably up there as top 3 cars ever for me. You do make a great point though. So funny how the displacement and power numbers are right on top of one another.

The chassis here is light years ahead of the e90 platform though. Brakes. Transmission. Weight.

I do enjoy a good tunnel pull! Although I will say that the S54's induction noise has it beat in my book. That's offset by how weird the S54 exhaust note can sound (especially with any Borla product).

Not to mention how everything is set up. The E90 is very sloppy. I wish I could make the steering better.

Looks amazing!

I trust in Nick magic to be a difference maker for all M products.

I’d love if you guys on the DC crew would get a chance to share the GTS experience with JST.

I am willing to volunteer my time for this effort. On an entirely charitable basis with no self interest whatsoever.
