The jist of it was that Porsche should consider making a lightweight version of the base Cayman for those of us who like a more track oriented car.
Since we know that PAG will never build anything that threatens the 911 in terms of performance
and that the Cayman S is not far from that the base Cayman could be tweaked to provide a more track oriented experience and be less than half the cost of the GT3.
Sounds like a winner to me !

now if you want porsche to make a more track oriented cayman, dont hold your breath.
you can do one yourself, but it will be around 30k (assuming you have a shop do it for you, DIY would be cheaper of course).
now, that 30k does NOT include any engine, tranny, exhaust mods .
for 30k, you will get: roll cage, harness, nice race seats (not cheap crap, i am talking omp, rece tech or spg hans racer: things you see in factory race cars), moton/jrz/leda, custom sway bars, springs, brake ducts, light wt wheels, race pads, tires, nicely gutted interior, fire system, cut off switch... things like that.
i find most ppl grossly underestimate the cost to build a REAL and NICE track car. i have NEVER seen ANYONE building a car that came UNDER their orig budget, unless they do the work themselves and discount the labor cost. if you dont blow your budget by 150%, you are doing WELL.

I know all to well about the cost to convert a street car to a track beast although I've managed to keep it a secret from the boss so far.
See my sig below...
BTW, I heard a rumour that you might be getting rid of the CS??? Since it's already set up maybe it would be time to move up another 85 HP or so...hmmmm
