But it is useful and relevant reading I think! I came to Porsche under the impression that one didnt have to do major body work on the car. In the E46 M3 one had to reinforce suspension mounts if you were going to seriously track the car (even if not increasing power output).

I thought the Cayman would settle my urge for a GT3 but I have come to the realization that its a stop gap. I still have some way to go before I max out this car and need to have something faster. But I am dismayed that Porsche do not recomend non street tires.

One could argue R compunds arent true race tires but it could also become a problem if after a spirited run (say at Road America turn 5) your engine dies and you have no support.

I was about to plunk money into Rcompounds but have decided not to. Once out of warranty, it might be easier to do those sort of things.
