Default Bit of a random Porsche video

Since owning the Cayman I'd not actually seen the rear wing rise so I stuck the camera on the rear screen and went for a spin and funnily enough I passed another Cayman..

Your music sounds like a car alarm

What speed does it deploy? One at the Don Palmer thing the other day, very composed looking car

A bit too composed and the amount of grip is unreal. If it wasn't for the fantastic turn in it might be a bit boring to drive.

Obviously I'd set the wing to rise far below the normal 75MPH... Its a shame you can't see it when driving.

So it is an "I'm speeding" indicator

Is yours flappy paddle? Impressive car, the guy who had it seemed to like it, pulled big chunks of tread off his tyres

No, manual. Open diff though, his might have been a later car with the optional LSD.

It drops at about 50-55mph but you can force it up - recommended for track days as sudden speed changes during deployment can cause a error to be indicated.

It is very planted and stable, hence why most people think its boring.
