What's the maximum second gear speed for the Cayman? It is almost a Porsche tradition to have second gear run to 70+ MPH, hurting published 0-60 times.

That's called a stupidity tax

That magic is worth $3200, no?

Hell, that magic IMO, isn't even worth the $800-$1200 most other manufacturers charge either, but to pay over 3K for a pretty plain slushie is ridiculous.
