Hi, after looking a while, I end up with two choises.

And here are the problems. please help

For 2006 Cayman S 5100 mile, bi-Xenon, Chrono Sport pkg, a wing for $48K

the owner has done upgrades by replacing
a) GIAC software
b ) Toyo Tire (has 3000 miles on them)
c) Some performance Break (but the break light is one, and he said because the break pad is off centered when they were installed)
d) Febspeed header,
e) after market exhaust(forget the brand, but has a twin pipe golden finish and is really loud, after 6K RPM, sounds like firecracker, or gun shoots?) and

f) While driving, the back of the car had click sound when go over bumps, he said there is a recall that issue (I am hopping it is not engine) (Just looked at forum, it may be called "Trunk Clunk")
For 2004 Carrer 18,000 mile, for $54K
a) more conferable when driving it, the gear box is some smooth (not short shifter), and when i hit 91, it felts like 65.
b ) And it has this option, there is a button, that you can choose to close or open the muffler or some thing like. When i turn it off, the car is much quieter at high RPM (I may never turn it off, what is the point to get a sport car, if it doesn't shout)
c) the engine feels more powerful and smoother.
d) Usually the peak of the HP is before the Red Line, you will start to loose power after the peak. And the car will start to slow down. this will let people know it's time to shift up. But with this 2004 911, when i was in second gear, the power of the car is continually increasing, even when I hit the Red Line (not that i don't like it, but it cut the fuel), it make me felt this car can at least go 8K RPM or more. I have drove two 1999 Carrera , one 2000 Carrera, one 2001 Carrera 4, two 2003 Carrera and one 2003 Carrera 4S. And this 2004 gave me the complete difference than any of the cars. I was wondering if this 2004 Carrera has X51 power Kit, How can i tell?


the questions
1. will the upgrades that he has done VOID the factory 2006 Cayman S warranty???

2. I also drove a 2008 Cayman, but the gear box in the Cayman is not nearly close to the 2004 911. 911's gear box is much smoother than Cayman. do they have different gearboxes? In Cayman From Second to Third gear, I shifted at 7K RPM, the gear felt like hit in or forced in, not like 911, gear felt like gentely go in.

3.How can i tell if this 2004 Carrera has X51 power Kit?

thanks

No not the entire warranty but dealer may disclaim coverage for any items that have been replaced and which can be shown to be a problem or have caused something else to break. Best to have a good relationship with your dealer.
Sounds like something is wrong with the shifter or someone put in a shift kit and messed it up because the Cayman shifter is certainly smoother than a 996 shifter on average.
Get VIN# and call Porsche and ask them they can look it up. It should be on the original option sticker and window sticker as well.

thanks for reply, I think I set my mind on Cayman S after I saw the TechArt.

I will ask the owner for the VIN# and will do a PPI at Porsche Dealership, and will ask about warranty.

thanks
