Only while driving Porsche you understand why this car cost so much.. Great review mate!
welp, i guess im looking at cayman's on Craigslist tonight
This one is for sale.
04dram04 - I bought a Cayman S 4 years ago. It's excellent. Did the computer ECU deal, Borla exhaust and an IPD plenum. It's possibly running 325hp but I don't know for sure. It's plenty fast and sounds great. If you get one, at least do the Borla exhaust. They sound kind of weak without it to be honest.

LOVE the clear engine cover.
HiroshimaSpirit they’re spendy as hell but you gotta get the HIP one (at least I did lol) can’t wait for it to show up at my door!
@@7royboy how much? And where do you buy them?
Where and how much is this engine cover?
This is for sure the most underrated auto review channel on UA-cam. The production value is on par with some of the top dogs of the industry and the content is great. I like that you don't forget what got you this far (tuners) but are also able to give muscle car fans some great material.
Keep it up!!
Thank you!
Yeah he tried really hard. Bottom line: the 987 cayman is a masterpiece. You need the manual transmission tho.
Literally just finished watching the mk3 2jz swap and this gets posted hahah. Awesome, and you guys are one of the most underrated car channels on youtube. Keep up the great work!
Seconded
true dat
Well the Supra video was supposed to be up on Tuesday, so here's another video for today lol. Enjoy! :D Like us on Facebook and Instagram! Listen to the Roads Untraveled podcast!
Hey I know you guys like older tuned cars. However I have a 2016 /M235i you guys should review. They call it the new E46 ///M3. Its a BRILLIANT little car. Let me know.
The M2 is the "new" E46 M3, if that. No current BMW drives like that glorious E46 M3 does
YES! I've been wanting to drive a new 1 or 2 series for awhile now. Are you in the Vancouver area? Hit us up on our FB page and we'll make it happen.
Great review, i never get bored of driving my old 2007 manual cayman, has'nt had a single thing go wrong in 6yrs, just wear and tear stuff. brilliant car.
hello , 11 years now. how’s the car holding up?
It is so funny that everyone is talking about the IMS but not the fact that only small amount of Porsche have that problem. I bet they don't even own one. I drove my 2006 987 boxster for 5 years with 113k in it. Still running like a champ lol
Yes but you still should probably replace it as preventive maintenance because they go with no warning and its to late if it goes.
Wing Hang Shih, I wouldn’t go skydiving if a “small amount” of parachutes didn’t open. Believe me, you’ll want to jump out of a plane without a parachute if the IMS bearing grenades your motor. IMHO, IMS upgrade is worth it for peace of mind....if driving a manual, just do it when replacing the clutch.
Wing Hang Shih, 05 987 BS here with 144,000 miles driven. My IMS can only be replaced by either pulling the motor or milling out the crank case and pulling out the bearing. Fortunately my single row bearing is much more robust than the previous single row but the earlier double row suffered almost no failures. The first single row bearing is where most failures occurred about 8%.
2007 2.7 987 are pretty safe as far as IMS goes. Muchless of an issue on this car.
149k on my 06 CS. Hands down best car I have ever owned. Almost nothing has been problematic, and compared to the Corvette, BMW M cars, S2000 and AMG I owned prior to this (they were all great cars), this is THE CAR. I am always thrilled at any excuse to drive it.
I have a Cayman as well, 07 ... nice, reliable, a blast to drive! Worth every penny.
How's she running now?
*A stock cayman doesn't have a clear cover through the engine bay.*
Kronix for real! they should have come that way from the factory for sure tho!
Correct. Also the stock engine is boring dull black. So you have 3 jobs to do.
1) Engine bay detail
2) Painting of top engine IPD plenum parts with heat resistant paint, accenting the PORSCHE lettering carefully in a contrasting colour.
3) Installation of after market clear engine cover.
Will I be doing all of the above to my Cayman S? HECK YES!
@@1TB0T kkjhh
You guys need to blow up like NOW! These car reviews are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE right now!
Great video, I daily my 996 carrera and yes they are reliable.... The IMS issue is over exaggerated. I'm at 80,000 miles and drive it 400 miles/week.
HamburgerJung cayman s is the better car, but you cant go wrong with either.
Nice. I ended up getting the 987 purely b/c finding a 911 targa 996 in the black/tan interior was impossible... but man in love w/ the Cayman S. I might change to a shorter shifter but aside from that, the car is literally a perfect daily driver.
Only a small percentage of 996's experienced/are destined for IMS failure. I think something like 2-3% of them. Good thing is, you can replace the IMS with a ceramic one. You can have it done for around 1 grand, it's worth the peace of mind in my opinion.
IMS .... I like to call it the Porsche boogie monster! .... please... I may have changed when I hit about 80,000 miles currently I am at 50 K... or if I have a new clutch put in.
Changing it at the same time as the clutch is probably your best bet.
Five years after your video the old man with the figure stands up to time. Jealousy will get you no where! I've been blessed to find Porsche, the greatest sports car company or all time, and the Cayman rivals the 911's I've owned, though they are different beasts with there own nuances and pleasures. Cheers.
Manual Gen 2 Cayman 2.9 here.. Love the car to bits. My first job was at Toyota in the very early nineties I drove almost new mk1 and brand new mk2 Mr2's in the Uk. I owned an imported GTS 2.0 Turbo in 2011 .. And as great as they are they will never be on the same level as a Porsche Cayman, although just as quick to 60
Nicely done. Over the past few months you have continued to develop your style and "find your voice" so to speak. You're definitely on track to become one of the great mainstays.
Great video! Some great walkaround shots and I love the exhaust note; I have an '06 Cayman S.
2 videos in one day! The dedication is real.
A used one of these is definitely going to be a graduation gift to myself.... Great review, thanks!
That see thru Engine compartment is awesome where did that come from?
How doesn't this channel doesn't have 5 million subscribers already. I am gonna have to promote the hell out this channel seriously
I just bought an 07 Cayman base and your video is making me super anxious to receive it! Hopefully it'll be delivered here on a few days.
This one you're driving sounds beast.
How do you like the 2.7? Thinking about one myself.
subscribed just because you posted a Cayman
The Cayman I reviewed had a sprint booster too, as well as the sport chrono. Let's just say I've never felt such good Throttle response in my life.
Great review!
Been thinking bout the plug and play controller for 987.1 boxster 🤔, good to see it actually makes a noticeable difference
What a great video! I own an 06 Boxster S and everything you said sounds like me talking about my car to others. Until they've driven it, they just don't get it. It's not about the numbers, it's the driving experience. I can't get over how amazing that engine cover is, car looks great.
Agree. I still remember when I turned a key first time ever, and the engine woke up. It's a unique feeling being in one of these.
Porsche Cayman the leaf collecting masterpiece?
lol
i was searching for this comment
So true
Production quality of these videos are amazing, this channel makes better content than the new top gear on less than 1/50th of the budget
*It's NOT A 2.6liter engine! Base 2005-2008 motor is a 2.7liter.*
I thought this was a car enthusiast channel?
Porsche is truly the best performer!
I have a 2008 and love it!
This intro is better than any movie to come out in the last year and a half. Kudos my friend
Love the Cayman..Love the Cayman S more...Manuel is a bit quicker...excellent video.!
Manuel es muy rapido. Manual is faster.
I've seen a few of your vids and they're all great. I'm learning so much about my Cayman that I didn't know before. I'm a little less intimidated by the car now . . . Thanks!!!
The sound alone makes it worth owning. It's absolutely intoxicating.
6:30 It's funny you think and feel about a Porsche this way.
Ferry Porsche son of the founder Porsche and creator of the first sportscar Porsche made, the 356 once said about what made him building cars 'Am Anfang schaute ich mich, konnte aber den Wagen, von dem ich träumte, nicht finden. Also beschloss ich, ihn mir selbst zu bauen' So basically he looked around and coudn't find the car of his dreams so he built it himself. A well engineered and efficient sports car.
So you pretty much hit the essence of a Porsche!
Went from a modified 2005 STi making 420 WHP (GT30R, built engine, full suspension, track toy, blah blah) to a 2007 Base Cayman making maybe 220 WHP. I'll never go back.
Wife traded her perfect BRZ for a 07 Cayman 2.7. And its a fun car. Can definitely make a bad to average driver look much better. And the sound even with the factory exhaust above 3500 sounds so much better than that BRZ. A simple touch screen headunit does a lot to help with the age of the interior. It could use more power at times. But even with having a turbo mustang that cayman still makes me smile.
Best investment for that price - in return you get a legend and a sophisticated sportscar.
Would love for u to drive a pdk 3.4 S
My 987.2 with chrin pkg flys
Not high hp 315-ish pre tune but lite and a joy to drive
De snorkled!!
Glad u love the cars
Hope to see more!!
getting soon porshe cayman 2009 No IMS issues, gd value for money
that green button thing is called a sprint booster. My friend was thinking of getting one for his z4 lol
Woww looking good. I'll buy this cayman next month.
music in the beginning sounds like n64 golden eye. so great review can't believe y'all don't have more subs and views it will come with more time
If all goes as planned I will be picking my 987.2 later this week. Curse you, I am already thinking of mods!!
great sounding inside and out even the Bose sounds like your sitting in a concert- at cruise with a hum. :)
That sounds incredible 🏆
Marcus, I wish we could get you in a 928 s4 manual. I think you would be impressed.
Oooohhh I've always like the 928. I still really want a 944 turbo as well. One day, hopefully before they go up too crazy in value :p
What part of Canada are you in ? I give a shout out to some members maybe someone is close by can let you ride.
Excellent Channel and content also love that it's BC lower mainland I live here also ❤
What is your exauhst? How did you get such a motor melody?
Straight through
can you provide any info about the sprint booster, like brand and price? I've had the 2007 base cayman, manual, for 2 years now and would like a little more power on demand. I've seen one legit chip/ecu worth 30 hp at a cost of $900 US...
Richard Haynie if I you ever buy this product?
Did*
Whats the company that does the ecu flash with green button?
Great review. Nice car buddy Porsche 💪
Daaaaamn sounds so good
Bro, where does one get the Techart bumper? My Cayman is midnight blue (like yours?) and that bumper is insane
Yes I thought your review was nicely done. Quite thorough and informative. Good job.
Dude. A minute goes by before you get to your opening shot.
Porsche made mid engines cars aswell? i had no idea
2 vids in one day? wow...i guess Christmas came early
Excellent cinematography!
Your Cayman looks amazing. Where did you get the front bumper? I saw NR auto has some 987 Cayman bumpers. Will really appreciate it if you can share me a link to that front bumper. Just looking sick ....
Flexing right now because I just bought a 2007 porsche Cayman from eBay for 12.5k. Picking it up Sep. 3rd. btw, what front bumper is this? i might buy that bumper with all the money i saved.
Tola Cole That's a ridiculous price. Wow.
Techart bumper. Wondering where the hell to get one myself!
How do you like it ? is it fast enough?
Nice review and nice cover on the engine. Is that from the factory or did he make it?
For fun an Evo X or Cayman?
Aftermarket
are u canadian? if so where are u from? and at now? ive bought a brand new Cayman GTS 2016 (and almost bought the downsized 2017 cayman S, great car also). Cant wait till it delivers in a week!
I'm wanting to buy either a Cayman S or a Corvette C6 Z06. I'm torn between both but I'm leaning more towards the Vette only because I heard things about the IMS bearing in the Cayman (in the 06-08 models). I heard that once it goes bad the entire engine is destroyed. Idk if that's true or not, but if it is true, that's a huge risk that idk if I'd want to take.
Michael Scott it is true, but for 1k you put in an aftermarket replacement bearing and you don't have to worry about it.
Michael Scott, you don't have to worry so much about the IMS bearing in the 06-08 cars. It has a low failure rate (
Fun video; enjoyable review. Thanks for sharing.
Nice channel, great video. Keep up good work. Myself I have porsche cayman 987 '06, love the engine cover with the blue tints, where did the owner do this?
Droney exhaust in a Porsche is just plain wrong.
everything is phenomenal
Where can you get a clear engine cover? It looks amazing
Is the S model turbo and when did the discontinue the NA engine? Thanks!!
S model is an N/A 3.4L F6
dream car
2 vids on one day, heck yeah!
nice rided, can you tell me something about the maintenance of the car(cost etc)? do you go to the official porsche dealership or a specialist?
What kind of colour option is this? It looks amazing.
Some nice personal accents added to the vehicle. Probably could have gotten a newer Cayman after spending on the accessories.
Mmm I wouldn’t call a 987.1 bulletproof, but the car looks and sounds awesome
Power delivery... where you want it? What from a 2.7 Litre vs a Cayman S? I agree the Cayman is a perfect driving car but you're driving a 2.7
Hello! Beautiful car and great video! I was curious as to the actual mods on the car and where I could find that front bumper. Thank you!
TechArt
I have the same car.... 2.7 only a stick shift, Where did you get the clear engine cover??
Question, how is this a 2007 (base?)? The headlights look quite different, more like a 2009. I am getting to know a bit about Porsche Cayman--it is something I am looking forward to buy (2009 due to improvements) in a year or two.
this car is legit up for sale rn on autotrader
Nice snow tires
Gen 1 Porsche Caymans are definitely NOT bullet proof. Engine failures are a a risk!
Nice! I went from Integra to 981.
Hope the cayman has the grill covering the radiators lol
Worth buying an 06 Cayman S that’s been borescoped and has 6 months warranty at 136k miles for
i fucking love this channel..this guy its awsome.
I really like that engine cover. Who made it?
Great. Super stuff... Loving my 987.2 S @3Dc4
Yep my 987.2 S ua-cam.com/video/MTmEshD3Dc4/v-deo.html
Drone is a drag, taking off the cats is foolish. there are free flow aftermarket cats that are sweet, and you can breath which is a bonus.
Great video but did I hear correctly? Did you refer to the MR2 as being "more exotic" than the cayman? Or did misunderstand?
He meant more exotic than the average sports car, not comparing it to the porsche obviously.
nice transmission
If the owner is watching, consider installing some No-Drone resonators (1/4 Wave Resonators not to be confused with Helmholz style). Cheap, and wont make any difference to the volume or note of the exhaust, but will tackle that drone tremendously!
liking those t-shirts....where can I get one?
Well, I look up on AutoTRADER for some Caymans for sale and I come across this exact car. haha
There's more to automotive excellence apart from speed alone.
Death by porche is alleged to actually be a thing. From James Dean to Paul Walker high profile deaths are romanticized and the driver blamed where's the car remains legendary.
How is it modified?
You would love a PDK and a S model
It has winter tires fitted?
Weird body kit + winter tyres?
I want one now
