The spyder is shockingly pretty with roof down. Heaps better looking than 911 cabriolet.

Loving the Spyder! I think it's one of the best "fun" cars under 100k. Would definitely have it over the GT4.

Kinda... the only way to truly fix the gearing is to change the rear end out, and they don't do that.

This video showed the pluses and minus of (in my case) a 718 Spyder v a GTS. Saturday, I traded a 993 to (avoid putting miles miles on a classic if you will.) The Spyder would be in the same category I fear so I bought the GTS. Wow! Spyders are unobtainium. 780 miles later, the sound in town is awesome and can't hear anything but the wind on the highway. And I can put miles on it! Thanks!

BlitzkriegRap it’s got more power despite the increased EU emissions laws. Put the 3.8 in a modern Porsche and it’ll be making even less horsepower from the new regulations. So step one if you buy it in America, rip all the emissions crap off. The 4.0 will gain power and you’ll save weight.

Too tall gearing (again), should have at least 450hp and better sound. Very minor changes for a very significant jump in price vs the old one. Was expecting more over the 981 GT4 to make a change worth while.

Why? They're the same car - they drive exactly the same, so why not have the choice of having the top down?

@hikingjoe4752 4 жыл бұрын

An OtherGoogUser No they’re not really driving the same. If you look for performance the open top car just isn’t as stiff as the closed GT4, also the amount of downforce vs 0 downforce on the Spyder is a huge advantage.

@clu4u Ай бұрын

@@hikingjoe4752You don’t know what you’re talking about. Do you have real track skills? Yeah, I didn’t think so. The Boxster/Spyder were made before the Cayman so the chassis was built with the firewall as an integral part of the structure. In other words it doesn’t need additional stiffness. With your skills it doesn’t matter.
