cos, you can buy all the parts on that car from caymanclub.net (a website much like rennlist, but for caymans only), they have some relationship set up with the tuner shop.

Amazing day today @ T-hill. Not too hot (90). Only 7 of us in my run group & a few random instructors. It was almost all Evo's & lots of fans of the GT3 . I think almost every one of the tweaked Evo's broke and the GT3 never missed a beat (it got stronger as the day went on and the heat set in). I must be getting the hang of the MPSC's, my lap times were dropping like a rock. The guy with the trackside Hot Lap transmitter left after the 3rd session (Evo with tranny problems), so I didn't get times on my strongest sessions. If the timer is accurate...I consistently ran 2:07's & 2:08's in the first 2 sessions and ran a 2:03.87 in the third with a passenger (I was so shocked, I wrote it down...didn't think of taking a photo of it at the time ).

The Evo's in my group...1 broken/malfunctioning turbo, 1 with tranny problems (900 miles on it), 1 says some type of problem with head ($1,200 to fix) and 1 with ECU issues. Almost all the Evo's parked around me needed work to get back on track. Thank God I've got a Porsche!

yeah, but your car cost more than evo and you can't turn up the boost, LOL.

You get what you pay for.

More boost = more problems.
