To make a reliable track Cayman it seems that one has a lot of work to do. The chassis can take a lot of power but the parts that make the cayman are best suited for casual spirited driving and not hard abuse.
Reading this and other forums it seems that if you put on slicks you place the engine at risk of oil starvation on hard braking and turning left. High rpms can cause steering pump failure.
If you do increase power you risk ripping out suspension mounts.
So to make the car a reliable track machine quite a bit of work is required.
It makes sense why Porsche do not campaign the car in motorsports and why they dont support independant teams using the Cayman's platform.
You could end up with one heck of a car- re weld the body, drop in a dry sump engine, redo all the suspension mounts, redo the suspension , fix up the aerodynamics and the car will probably beat a GT3, but it will also cost more.
The best way to enjoy the car seems to be stock (small mods to improve torque and small gains in hp are fine). Anything more and it seems you reach the cars limitations very quickly.
Comments? Am I missing the point? BTW this is not a negative post, just an attempt at trying to understand what its all about.
Yes yes this has been discussed before....but Im just trying to pull it all together
