I've been given one of those Porsche Driving Experience days as a present. 90 minutes in a new (latest? Probably not) 911, Cayman, Boxster, Cayenne or Panamera.

Not interested in the Boxster, Cayenne or Panamera. But the 911 or the Cayman? 911 is the obvious choice...but the Cayman? Might be more fun?

Thoughts?

Personally I'd want to do it in a 911! And that isn't just because I own a Boxster. The Cayman is great, I test drove a Gen 1 at one of our OPC open days. Personally it'd be a Boxster or 911 & the 911 is just special enough that it would be my choice.
One of our club members ended up in a GT3 at his Porsche Experience I think & reckoned it was amazing. Short of selling the house I can't think of being able to afford one so would have to go there!

Any chance of splitting it to 45mins in a 911 & a Cayman?
You could always visit your local OPC and get a test drive in a Cayanne or Panamera by going in the S2 and saying you are thinking of getting one of the newer models :lol: or as tr7v8 did and go to a local OPC open day.
I went to Prestwold for a few laps in a 911 Turbo so a 911 would probably be my 1st choice Cayman 2nd the others if you want a 4x4 or a Hot 4 seater :wink:
