Dear Porsche Cars North America...

All of your dealer websites appear to be down right now.

Sincerely,

Motivated Shopper

Dear Motivated,

If you were serious you'd be at one of our dealers already.

In reply to Woody:

PDK Boxster time?

Dear motivated,

Sorry about that, our it staff are out playing Pokemon go. Once they find the charmander they'll fix the problem.

Best regards,

POA

Doppelkupplungsgetriebe.

I'll bet the Volkswagen site is up

Dealers are open on Sunday?

In reply to petegossett:

I've gotten the convertible thing out of my system with MGs, Miatas and Jeeps. I'm done.

In reply to petegossett:

But yeah, PDK.

Dear Motivated:
We are Porsche. You will give us buckets of money regardless, we are just that good. We expect an apology for your last e-mail.

So...Cayman or 911?

In reply to petegossett:

I drove a Cayenne Turbo that has one, too.

The thought of towing with one now scares me. The VR6 models have torque converter type automatics at least. (But then you have a VR6.)

I don't have 911 money, but if I did, I would probably buy a better Cayman.

Got to drive a couple of these last week. My daughter is the title clerk/event coordinator for the local BMW/Jaguar/Land Rover/Porsche/Volvo dealer. She roped me and a couple other guys from the autocross club to setup a simple course in a parking lot for the presentation of the new 718 Boxster. We got to drive a 2016 non-S and two 2017, one S and one non-S. All with PDK. That PDK is impressive. I noticed it even blipped the throttle when downshifting during hard braking in Sport+ setting. The S is a set of good tires away from being extremely fun, not that it wasn't fun but a good set of tires will go a long ways.

I had this 2016 PDK Boxster (non-S) for six days a couple of weeks ago and I just about fell in love with it. I would be perfectly happy with a base model Cayman.

In reply to wlkelley3:

You need to try a GT3 with PDK, there's really no reason to even use the paddles - it's that good. The byproduct/benefit is it allows you to really focus on your line and being smooth. If I had a few spare organs there'd be one in my garage!

I got to spend some time around this nifty little car the other night.

It's kind of hard to count the pedals from this angle, but I'll give you a hint...

You spelled Viper wrong.

I'm clearly in the wrong thread/income bracket. Good day sirs.

Didn't think I had 911 money but I found a nice base cpo 911 with PDK for less than many Caymans. I personally prefer the look of the 911, although I love the Cayman and I was originally looking at them. The PDK is pretty awesome.

In reply to JimS:

Good to know! What year is your 911?

In reply to Woody: It's a 2013 that had 24000 miles on it. It's the base 3.4 with PDK and 20" Carrera Classic wheels. White with a bunch of non- performance options. It was a toss up between this and a cpo CaymanS but I always wanted a 911.

In reply to JimS:

911s shot so far beyond my price range that I don't know the answer, even though I should. Does the 2013 911 engine have an intermediate shaft?

You and me both...but it doesn't hurt to have goals.

In reply to Woody: No. I'm told the 997.2 were updated. I agree about prices but I got good money for my s2k and I think mine was less expensive because nobody wants a base car. Everybody wants an S so there aren't many base cars around I guess.
