How much attention do you get in your Cayman? Is it mostly a sausage fest. What color is your car? What mods have you made to it?

I get a lot more than I expected or want, both men and women. But then again mine is black with the uber sexy ST wheels...

Really? It's black and you get loads of attention. That's nice I'm debating between a M4 or Cayman S and with what I see the M4 looks like any other car, unless you get one of those flashy colors, but I always wanted a nice white car and god does the cayman S looks nice in white with black accents.

What are the ST wheels?

Sport Techno wheels. They look great on a white car. Hard to find though and I don't think they're offering them on the 718. Replaced by a pretty cool new five spoke that draws cues from the awesome original Fuchs.

If I get a Cayman S it will be black powder coated 20 inch Carrera S wheels, damn theyr'e nice. I love slim spokes, compared to what a ST wheel is.

My lowly 987.1 Cayman S gets a bit of attention, possibly because it is Guards Red.
I've had a couple of people ask if it is a Ferrari.....
The attention is not too intrusive and has never been a problem.....so far.

I think this is highly dependent on where you are. Some part of the country (Los Angeles) these cars are common, but in others (Ogden, UT) it's an exotic.

I get quite a bit of attention every time out in my black Cayman R from all types of people young , old , motorcycle riders , in parking lots and on the road.
It's fun to share information with others about the car.

Silver cayman here and while not that much attention, all attention has been positive and or subtler for me than past cars like a lotus or GTR. For sub $100k the most attention you will get is a lotus elise. While this was entertaining I am kinda over it now, especially since the people that are drawn to the cayman are people I have liked talking with.

None—which is awesome! My Cayman S is metallic white. The more Porsches on the road the better.

well, my Cayman GTS gets its fair share of attention on the road and in parking lots -- then again, it is a well polished Racing Yellow color.. can't be shy in RY..

My Carmine Red GTS used to get a lot of attention from everyone.

Seems like my White GT4 usually gets attention from car enthusiasts.
