Is this the Mark Sirota from the old rec.autos.vw.watercooled days?

In fact it's strange to get in my A3 after driving the Cayman and vice-versa.

Timmay

Lol...nah I think I understand what you're referring to.

But then the Ferrari is much the same;-)

Timmay

so compared to Porsches they are much lighter. My Cayman has a much more solid and heavier weight to the steering but more precise.

April

Interesting.

Try an older (pre '89) 911; you'll feel like you've found God's own steering boost setup.

Timmay

if you haven't taken a Cayman S for a drive you should try it. You may like it! I'm still surprised to hear about the steering on your friend's 996 GT3 as I can't imagine why it would be light. How does the clutch feel?

April

Can only imagine a Cayman is even better! Not so exciting engine note, but that's not part of the Porsche package

The 996 GT3 clutch is pretty stiff - and I speak from macho Italian car standpoint;-)

Timmay

and the engine note is great on the CS actually. Engage Sport Mode and let her rip and it's loads O fun! Gotta love mid-engine cars!

Imagine the Boxster you drove and make it twice as stiff and more horsepower PASM is great too! As for the GT3's clutch being stiff, if it's anything like the 997 Turbo..that is stiff.
