Crappy looking chains ! Look like ordinary roller chains like the ones that snap quite often on the tennis club lawn mower.

Does the Porsche have power steering?

Get some pics up!

Yeah has power steering. Compared to elise, the dead ahead does lack feel as soon as there is any load I can tell what the front is doing much clearer than on the else. The sports susp helps massively with this though.

I loved the elise and thought it was a fantastic experience but never ultimately felt that the handling benefits outweighed the negatives of reliability/ comfort. M4 things like that are too much the other way. I do think the cayman GTS occupies a bit of a sweet spot. Weirdly despite being a bit of a marketing parts bin special it feels genuinley special.

Reaction too it is surprisingly positive as well.

Think you've convinced me on white, Mike. I really like Agate grey too.

Ooo just spotted the photo links.

Does look nice with that wheel combination

I agree regarding the GT4, that is a track biased car, the GTS is a road biased car.
Oh yes and it is bloody quick

I am very happy with the PDK in mine, hows the manual feel?
