Totally get it Mark, for a long while I have been thinking you need a 987 or 981. Excellent decision and one of the best drivers cars for the money. Hydraulic steering 👌on the 987. Too many get caught up in bhp and straight line speed. Enjoy getting to know the Porsche and look forward to future videos.

In the 140i you can change the steering weight and throttle btw in the settings menu for your different modes i have my sport setting to the none heavy steering mode. You should've stuck some coilovers on the m140i it is a serious weapon with coilovers it transforms the car. I've heard the manual can be improved also with the m performance gear knob. But if you really wanted to switch, I reckon a good e46 m3 would've been a better shout all round better than the cayman

Hi Mark. Just discovered your channel . I bought my M140 in September 2020 for the opposite reasons why you're selling . I owned a Cayman 987S(for 8yrs ) and a MK1 S3 . S3 was a money pit which I should have got out of long ago but didn't as I thought the last bill would be the last but it wasn't ! Cayman didn't really have any issues apart from the AC pipe in the engine bay . I didn't fancy any future big bills with the Cayman as I wasn't using it much and my local Porsche club was in lockdown . A local trader sold both cars on my behalf and I targeted the M140 which I got from a main dealer . It combines practically and performance of the S3 and Cayman with half the running costs So far ! I don't think I will go down the LSD route but I need to change from Rft's . I saw that you went for F1's but I'm thinking of the new Potenza Sport and the under body brace to keep the rear in check . Do you have any thoughts on this for me ? Enjoy your Cayman as much as I did !
@MarkCup70

Hi Kevin. I went for Michelin's PS4 in the end as the F1s were in short supply at the time. Great all rounder, but study and squidgy when turning in our braking hard. Can't comment on the latest Potenza but reviews look promising! I can't really comment on the underbody brace either as mine had it already fitted when I bought it and I've not driven one without in anger to form a meaningful comparison.
