Ok I debated whether or not to post this. On one side of the fence I have people wanting to know how fast my car is with its modifications, on the other people who dread seeing any kind of speed on public roads. Well I just posted a video at http://www.caymanclub.net/dl_showall...=Cayman+Videosthat shows us pacing behind a 997 C2S in nowhere's ville Utah. During one open stretch we climbed well into the triple digits and not once could he pull away from me, in fact I pulled on him a bit a few times and as you can hear in this video during this segment I didn't have to keep the foot in the throttle to pace behind him. I also blocked Stefan from filming the speedometer as I am not about to post how fast we went up to other than to say that the speeds were 'significant' and the 997 C2S owner was suitably impressed, we gave each other a thumbs up when we later parted ways.


Here is a picture of the C2S

My Cayman may be gone...but not forgotten.

Those are a mass of Stefan's charging cables, cell phone cable, power cable for laptop, GPS receiver cable, I lost track, so hard to say which cables he had hanging there when. I can say there was NO radar detector. [img]/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/tounge_smile.gif[/img]

Grandmothers in Italy drive faster....and nobody calls them crazy. [img]/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/thumbsup.gif[/img]


Did you do a WOT speed run at all and he couldn't pull on you? It doesn't sound like you ever go over about 5K rpms in the vid...hard to tell though?


Paul

That portion of the vid doesn't show our highest speed burst, but at WOT he could not pull on me in fact the opposite seemed true I would pull a bit on him.

If your car really puts out 360 bhp, it's no wonder he couldn't pull away from you. I think your car is about 400 lbs. lighter than his too.

I have heard testament of a stock Cayman S keeping up with a modded X51 911 (420hp) at anything above 60 MPH numerous times. The Cayman S is an impressive car - really interested to see how well the Base Cayman 'hangs'.



Glad you put it in video K-Man S [img]/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

Ahhh, c'mon Ken, you can show the speed.... you can't get in troublesince it was fictional and superimposed for fun, right... wink wink. [img]/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/wink_smile.gif[/img]

No complaints from me about your speeds although inquiring minds would love to know. Good video, I'm sure he was suprised.

Yea... I'm not a fan of the lecture about speeding, when it is on a stretch of highway with virtually no other motorists. If you have an straight, openlength of highway, let that sucker fly! Doing triples on surface streets is foolish, sure.


K-man, what would you guessoff the top of your head a random997 C2S. on say a closed course that resembled a highway, would be going in a simulator? [img]/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/drive.gif[/img]


I would guess around 155. In my experience witha CS in a computer simulation it likes to get to around 130 on the empty freeway before the driver slows back down so he doesn't get a simulated ticket. If I got a chance to simulate the CS on a traffic free simulated highway I would think it would want to go for the advertised max.
