a C6Z06 with brake and suspension mod is faster than any GT3, even a GT3 with motons on any track given equal driver.

i am speaking of lap time only, nothing about quality, look, durability, reliability or desirability.

Caymans deserve so much better than what it gets. An incredible little car that would be very competitive with a good engine and suspensions.
The Cayman IS the future of Porsche...

Read my post on the first page of this thread. The Cayman is, without doubt the future of Porsche sports cars and I have liked the 911 platform from the beginning

At least Cayman is going in the right direction.. the new one has the DFI engine (the "S" model), available LSD and PDK.. should be quite a combo!!

Granted many people states it's underpowered I wouldn't hesitate to get one if they followed lotus formula. Make the exterior all fiberglass or whatever lotus use. Get it down to 2400lbs or less u got a playa. Mike
