There are plenty of "limited production" GT3s. I'm fairly confident they will try to sell as many Spyders as possible.

If they made a Cayman version with a fixed roof, that'd be my choice. I'd only add A/C, and it'd still come in at around 2850 pounds and be a great daily driver and also a track killer.

Porsche, are you listening?

A/C can be added as an option. As for the Cayman idea, I agree but I doubt we'll see it as it would probably pose a threat to GT3 sales.

Your taking things too personal Louis.

Now if it came with a hard-lid that would solve that problem....

I was just kidding man. I agree, it's probably not the best car for rainy Vancouver but I can try to fool myself into thinking it is.

But really I would love to see you kick some butt in the local track and X events so get one. Oh and a bucket.

The Spyder is getting quite the welcomed reception over at the 7GT3 forum...

This is the first I've seen of it and love it! I never did understand the chick thing with the Boxsters but this should definitely dispel that myth...

SWEEEET ride! This coming from a guy who sold his boxter 4 yrs ago because, I too, felt it was becoming too much of a "chick car". Why is this the first I've heard of this new car? I read most Porsche magazines and haven't seen anything on it. Any idea of production quantity numbers? BTW, I agree...it needs AC- a lotta hot humid areas out there
