Okay I'll admit I do like the colour, it suites that porker thing, and I can imagine, with the right wheels, it could suite the Stradale, but that's where it ends for me I'm afraid.

With a six-speed manual transmission
Maserati 3200gt too

Cayman R sprints from 0 to 62mph in 5.0secs
Maserati 3200gt too (ok then 5.1)

With the optional seven-speed dual-clutch PDK transmission and Sport Chrono, you'll get to 62mph in 4.7 seconds. Top speed goes up by 3mph to a heady 175 mph.
Maserati 3200gt does 175mph without such nonsense

Cayman, 2 seat
Maserati 3200gt 4 seat

Cayman boot, well.........
Maserati 3200gt boot takes proper shopping bags, lots of them

Cayman badge a concoction
Maserati 3200gt badge held in high esteem, even Neptune copied it.

Cayman pedigree, almost
Maserati 3200gt pedigree, of course


Cayman, c£52k
Ye gods you could have both of these with a year's free service for the same money:

I wasn't comparing it to any car, let alone a maserati....especially on a maserati forum.

Two totally different cars Phil .. One a track focused car the other a GT ... Although I love the 3200 on a good twisty road I'm sure the Cayman would leave the 3200 for dead. Cayman handling is sublime and thats the standard S....Mate had one at his garage and had a go ...Stunning...Its steering was so direct and the handling was Elise like...Great car. I'm not so sure about the front end but the R above is spot on .... The Cayman is abetter car than the 911 and could give loads more if Porsche wasn't watering it down because of the 911...The R above may go some way to put that right. Me like.

Not a few Andy, precisely 2...
Don't snigger, but my first was a 924 S....yes, I know audi engine blah, blah, but I thought it was really cool...had the porsche script in the seats, haha :D
Then bought a stunning, prestine 911 in minerva blue from the no5 garage in london...oh that was such a long time ago...
Regards,
Enzo.
