Default 2007 Cayman RSR?

911 Cup rear suspension? check. 6 Speed sequential with paddle shifter? Check. Tractive / DSC shock system? Check. Full diffuser? Check. 4.0L twin turbo? Check... Wait thats GT2RS stuff! Unfortunately no double A arm front suspension but maybe next year? Coming to west coast tracks this spring.

TT 4.0 L with Albins sequential


Patient on the table

Vision Motorsports in Laguna Hills CA. The car was eating transmissions even at 0.5 BAR boost so we decided to use an Albins sequential. That opened up a bag of worms and the conversion to a 911 style rear suspension.

Indeed. Great fun though! I could've found an existing CR car, but had to go off and build one from a nice street car (E/F-Stock, now SP3). Doh!

Expensive, but what fun...

Love your car! It's so clean! Buying a well sorted car is definitely the way to go. The 07 was my street car and it gradually morphed into a half track half street monster with the 4.0L single turbo. It kept on breaking stuff on the track so I said enough. Make it into a track car so I can race rather than DE

Thanks. What was Steve McQueen quoted as saying? "Racing is life..." ;-)

Nice. Great platform, these mid-engine P-cars. Best of luck with the build!

Was this the one that a certain very famous pro driver was testing (maybe it was chuckwalla or buttonwillow?) and the trans went out?? :-) I do remember it being stupid fast while running.

Yes Randy Pobst was checking it out and coaching me at Buttonwillow. I was driving in the race when the tranny let go. Even though we had the boost limited to ~430 HP the tranny just can't take the torque for long. It ate another tranny at Laguna so I decided to bite the bullet and go with the Albins.
