Great video, wish we had Autobahns here in the US so I could actually take my 987 out at full speed. I'm stuck to track days here for that. Also really clean downshift at 0:45
Thanks for your great feedback! It's really great that we still have a few spots on the motorways where you can and are allowed to drive so fast. But driving on the racetrack and taking part in trackdays is even more fun.
Thank you very much! Yes, I know what you mean and I really appreciate the fact that we are still allowed to drive here without a speed limit. The car is just great fun! Always and everywhere, you're absolutely right!
Wow! That was amazing! I have a question though, every time you changed gear it sounded like it was grinding, was it grinding or is that the normal sound?
Thanks to you! No, it's all normal. What you hear is the throttle, I guess. I removed the insulation above the engine. The engine is now only separated from the interior by an aluminium plate. That's why it sounds so good in the interior. 🙂The exhaust is original.
@@brtgmmotors I was gonna say, I never remembered hearing that kind of induction noise in one of these. I'm hoping to get one within the next year and if I do this is mod #1
@@urock12201 I had a 987 S for 16 years, have a 981 Spyder now. Both these cars have the short shift kit, mySpyder came with one, my 987S I had put on. Go to the Porsche forums and everyone raves. .
I have one and unaware of would do 200? I have all kinds of dealer mods to make it go fast and I didn't think it would make it over 180MPH. Am I wrong?
as much as I´d like to see it goes 200mph/300kmh, I highly doubt it will go that fast. Maybe with some remap and probably all bolt on mods it may go that fast :D who knows
@@Corvolet5 I think the top speed is around 180MPH. I’ve had mine to maybe 145 and believe it would do 180. Generally since I don’t do over 75MPH it’s not a big concern of mine. I have all kinds of dealer doke mods including a computer that was redone, gt3 intake, tubi headers and exhausts. So I should be making more power than stock, car is actually pretty quick. Also a sport chrono car.
@@capt.6644 Your belief can be deceiving. Especially in VAG products the speedometer differs a lot from actual GPS figures. At Stage 2 I can see it doing that top speed, given it hits numbers of say, a Ferrari F355 or a 997 Carrera S. I'm not gonna go deep into the numbers, but I have enough data for cars that make the claimed 180 mph stock literally impossible. It's just a little math.
@@paulnguyen215 I haven't driven an MKII yet, but I have driven an MKI with Capristo, software and single-mass flywheel. The difference is noticeable, it has about 40 hp more than my car, but even that is not really a huge difference. So in a direct comparison you will feel a very small difference, if any, from the MKI to the MKII.
@@brtgmmotors Ah awesome. Had a quick look at your track videos too :) I'm also a huge Gumball fan and Cayman S 987.1 owner myself. Wonderful cars :) Keep up the great work.
Oh man, that's really stupid. I'm sorry for you guys! But congratulations on the car! These vehicles are really great and also a lot more fun on narrow, winding roads!
@ 0:16 Slamming gears getting onto the highway, a Honda is in the fast lane on the left (revs out, into the next gear, wide open.) @ 0:23…still revving hard, the Honda’s still there…dead. I’m a Porsche tech and a big cayman fan, all gen’s….but unless it’s got a four liter in it, the boxster/caymans aren’t very quick. My above was just a playful jab.
@@Steve-vp8ng I must not have watched closely enough, although I did replay several times and I cracked up each time…which is why I made the comment. The cars are comically underpowered. The 986 and 987 S chassis (minus the brakes and diff) can easily support double the stock output.
Meh... I am happy with the power/weight ratio of the Cayman, MX5 or S2000. Lower power means more fun going through the gears and revving out the engine in the twisties. 0-60 in around 6 seconds is more then enough for my 987.2. But if your saying the Porsche cars are overpriced for the power you get. I could see some argument there for sure.
Ich fahre nie rücksichtslos und provoziere auch keine Unfälle! Der BMW-Fahrer und ich hatten Sichtkontakt und er hatte mir per Handzeichen angezeigt, das es okay ist wenn ich weiter beschleunige. Der BMW hat auch nicht überholt, er hatte netterweise die rechte Spur für mich frei gemacht und so konnte er seine Geschwindigkeit konstant weiter halten. Okay jetzt?!
290 is not bad AT ALL. Such a nice and fun car. Congrats.

Imagine, autobahns in America, with American drivers. I wouldn’t get on it unless I’m suicidal.
I have the same car, I've only been on the Autobahn a few times and reached about 265kph.. It felt very fast already!
on of the best sounds ever, nice
Thank you so much! ☺️
Nice video and great top speed you reached! I got a 987 Cayman as well. Cant wait to do a top speed run with it.
I am happy for you! These are really great cars! Have fun and enjoy it!
I also have the Cayman S-1 and it is a pleasure to drive it, in the city or on the autobahn Greetings from Thuringia Germany.🇩🇪
Absolutely! I know exactly what you mean! 🙂Thanks for your comment! 👌
the engine is tops Bravo
That Gumball 3K sticker though..lol. Love all those guys.
Thanks! Yes, me too! ☺️
Liebe die ansauggeräusche😍
Danke! :-)
Ja, ich liebe es auch!
My opinion are these are better than the 911s of the same era. 987s are automotive perfection.
GREAT CAR
Thank you! ☺️

How many gear does it have?

The problem is at around 180 mph (294 km/h) the engine turns in 6th gear up to the Motor speed limiter at 7350 rpm
That thing really does 270 at best. For 290 you need at least 370 horsepower. But we all know people love to exaggerate with their top speed
