Edit: If the next Cayman R is lighter and has around 350hp, I think it could be fast enough for my taste, the 2013 Boxster S already trap 111mph with just 315hp! Last edited by Alex07M3; 12-01-2012 at 11:27 AM.. |

thanks for the link, good video. I've got a little over a year before I have to decide whether to buy my Cayman off lease, lease a 911 or new Cayman (some sales tax advantages to re-leasing with Porsche) or buy something else.

What a nice problem you got there, I'd say get rid of both the Porsche and the M3 and get the new 911 turbo!

OP - Id go with the cayman over the m3 so long as the space or lack thereof in the cayman is ok for you. You WILL NOT find a better driver's car than a cayman at any price point nor handling. It has it all so long as space isnt a main point of concern. Last edited by Wolfinwolfsclothing; 01-15-2013 at 03:17 PM.. |

How much power can the 2009 cayman make with only bolt ons? If it can get 400hp without forced induction (80 more than the stock 320) it should easily out perform the e92 m3 on the track.

Think about it this way. For the price of a brand new Cayman S (without even any overpriced options), you can get a slightly used GT-R or C6 Z06 or Camaro ZL1 or even Boss 302 Mustang. Now THAT is performance. Get one of these cars and you'll be playing with the big boys in ferraris and lambos on the track. Or you blow off your money on that Cayman, and get to enjoy the precise steering feel and balanced chassis up until the moment you're forced to give the point by to a teenage kid who totally smokes you in a 10 year old civic or evo that probably cost a fifth of the money you paid for the cayman. |

Not a 'few' but I meant staying NA instead of forced induction. Sasha Anis' 350z increased by approx 160HP while staying NA with the VQ35DE.

what sasha anis did with that engine was miraculous, but that was a result of unlimited time and budget, not to mention the engine was a strict racing application. Such a project will be too expensive, and too unreliable for a road going car.

There's a 4.2L cayman out there built by jake raby. I believe final stages of development are almost done.

cayman is genreally slower than the m3 on all but the tightest tracks. why go backwards. if teh cayman had 400+hp as someone suggested the i would be all over it.

A lot of people on the Z forum have 330-340 WHP from just bolt ons which is still ~100 WHP increase from stock ~235 WHP. Sasha just took it to another level with another 30 WHP increase lol
