Date: October 20th, 2013 3:08 PM Author: bright very tactful yarmulke gunner New or used? What are you buying it for?
Cayman is a ripoff new and the new Corvette model is a lot nicer than the outgoing one.
Even the Cayman S is going to be much slower and more expensive to keep up. If you're buying as a track toy I'd go Corvette all day every day.
If you're buying for prestige, Cayman won't impress anyone since it's not a 911. Corvette will impress baby boomer doods and prole chicks.
If you're into tuning/modding the Corvette will be cheaper and easier to get big power out of. |

Corvettes are for people who wear rolex subs and loudly exclaim how much their suit costs like GOB on AD |
|
Date: October 20th, 2013 3:11 PM Author: bright very tactful yarmulke gunner To most people Cayman seems like a striver car for a guy who can't quite afford a 911. In reality, it's a nice purist's car, though way too expensive for what it delivers new. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2392333&forum_id=2pk5w1#24270914) |

Date: October 20th, 2013 3:14 PM Author: bright very tactful yarmulke gunner Yeah kinda reminds me of a nicer MR2 which I had years ago and loved. Once they get a little cheaper used I might consider picking one up. At least they look less gay than the Boxster. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2392333&forum_id=2pk5w1#24270939) |

Date: October 20th, 2013 3:25 PM Author: bright very tactful yarmulke gunner 951 is nice man. They're hard to find in good shape these days since they were unloved and cheap for a while.
How tall/fat are you? The Elise is TINY and you need to be pretty twinkish to fit in one. Seems like they are easy to total, see a lot of salvage ones out there. I'm guessing they're fragile and the body/suspension parts are very expensive.
If you have another car to DD it could be fun. Do you live in a city? Seems like it would only be worthwhile if you can hit some backroads or the track regularly. I saw a dude driving one around Chicago swerving around every tiny pothole looking really pissed.
They are supposed to be great drivers cars though. Also gets a ton of attention since they look exotic, which can be a plus or minus depending on your personality.
The drivetrain is all standard FWD Toyota stuff just flipped around so shouldn't be too expensive to maintain mechanically.
I'd go for it if you can get good use out of it. If you don't like it, wouldn't be that hard to flip for a small loss. |
|
Date: October 20th, 2013 3:29 PM Author: mind-boggling mediation school I'm the classic racing driver build, 5'10 and 160 when I'm lifting so I can fit no problem. The 951 is a basket case but I bought it in college and and it's going to be mine for life if I can make it work.
You're exactly right about flipping an elise if I don't like it too, I see they're basically 30k in any condition so I think I could get a nice one and make a small profit if it doesn't work out. |
|
Date: October 20th, 2013 3:35 PM Author: bright very tactful yarmulke gunner Go for it bro, you'll be living my dream. I think it'd be a steal at $30k provided you have another DD. Nothing else really competes. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2392333&forum_id=2pk5w1#24271072) |

the c6s im looking into are around 20k USD. a little steeper than my budget (15k USD) but i am not really interested in a porsche after test driving a bunch of them |
|

You are not a car guy. Why do you say stupid shit like this? Stick to feminine squawking about how pretty one car is vs. another. |
|
Date: April 26th, 2020 10:44 PM Author: Ruddy trust fund some common problems all the porsches i test drove had:
suspension issues head gasket/cylinder oil pan
i never had any of these kinds of problems with my mustang. and my mustang had literally 130,000+ miles. some of the porsches i test drove had less than 50,000 miles and still had multiple issues
tmf, ima cop a corvette and smoke your ass nigga |
|
Date: April 26th, 2020 11:14 PM Author: Spruce Appetizing Piazza Haunted Graveyard LOL, awesome sample size. "I drove a few Porsches and I own a beat cheap Mustang so I'm qualified to speak about the reliablity of all of these cars..."
You can't afford a new mid-engine Corvette. And my new Cybertruck will beat anything other than that. |
|
Date: April 27th, 2020 12:35 AM Author: Ruddy trust fund 80% of the porsches on the market have some kind of engine or suspension issue. says a lot about how shitty these cars are
test driving them just confirms the fact |

Date: April 27th, 2020 12:38 AM Author: Spruce Appetizing Piazza Haunted Graveyard You live in Korea and many of the people selling them are dorks trying to act alpha (like you) but aren't car guys so they can't actually fix their cars themselves or afford to pay a legit mechanic, so they just let them wear down and sell them. It is because Asian culture is all about conspicuous consumption and status signaling, so of course you buy the most impressive sounding car you can afford without regard to substance. That doesn't actually mean that Porsches are less reliable than Mustangs. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2392333&forum_id=2pk5w1#40100666) |

i test drove a c5 a while ago and it was great but a little too old. c6s seem like the sweet spot |
|
Date: April 26th, 2020 10:54 PM Author: Spruce Appetizing Piazza Haunted Graveyard I'd 100% go Corvette. Porsche is for someone who dgaf about money. It is a pure luxury. If you're even looking at the Cayman then that's not you. The new Vette is a better car with a sub 3 second 0-60. It is a ton of fun and great performance for the same or less money.
The only other people that buy Caymans are people looking to get into the Porsche crowd. Ffs, don't be that guy.
EDIT: Also, if you MUST get a German car the BMW M2 is also a serious contender in that price range and a better value than the Cayman. But honestly, despite a BMW owner I still think the Corvette is the better car. |
