I appreciate this comment. I have also looked at a C7 GS. Were you in a base C7?
yes it had the zf1 package.(not z51)..but a gs will only get you better handling and looks ...it wasnt those aspects of the car that I was disappointed with but rather the overall refinement and precision to put it crudely the c7 felt a bit like driving a truck compared to the cayman i took a 10 min test drive and didnt pick up the subtleties then but once i took delivery it all came out Last edited by baege; 05-12-2017 at 02:46 PM.. |

I don't think you can go wrong with the GT350.
Just make sure to go drive it....

Well....I ended up buying the gt350 I test drove. It really is a fun car if anyone is looking for something a little different.

That is ridiculous. The S2k was a cool car, but if you want something to drive, an old clapped-out car isn't the way I'd do it. How many of these actually exist in solid mechanical form? Sure, there are a decent number around, but because they aren't even making a modern version, it's a dead market IMO. More about nostalgia IMO.

What issues/recalls/defects have popped up regarding the voodoo powertrain? I am strongly considering adding a GT350 to the stable. I would use it as a daily with auto-x mixed in so reliability is a big concern!

I know someone who has one with 160k and it basically looks and runs like new. And I know of several others for which the car has been kept all but bone stock and in top shape. It's not their DD -- which would be the point for the OP, and is the point for many who now own one: It's a weekend fun car. Why does a weekend fun car absolutely need a buttload of HP? Because it doesn't for many.
