Besides, the original poster has a V6, same as mine, and there is no practical way to turn it into a high performance Cayenne, short of selling/trading it for an S or Turbo. It is what it is — an SUV that drives well.

Yes, 4700 lbs of nice truck, with a real transfer case. Our 997 is an actual sports car. Got the Cayenne afterwards, after testing many SUV brands. Base V6, love it as much as anything I ever owned.

If your SUV can pull better than about 4 seconds to 60mph, than you do deserve praise. However, it's just not the same thing as driving a Porsche GT car.

Would surely be much much cheaper and easier than building the v8 and there is plenty of support. I'm a dreamer

Hi all,
I am an owner of a 2004 Cayenne base model 3.2 (6-speed). it's a great car as I use it mainly for my weekly long distance business trip. I have to drive about 250km (500km round trip) weekly for work once a week. The car is now at about 160,000km on the dial and everything still runs very well. It's been very reliable and I honestly haven't had too many problem.
I want to see if it's possible to swap the 3.2 engine to the 4.5 engine of the same generation to give it a more powerful engine. I honestly have no compliant of the car and I love it so much but just want a bit more power to enjoy my weekly drive.
Any suggestion is welcome.
Cheers
Eric

If you haven't tried turning PSM off once the engine is warm, that usually makes a Cayenne a lot more responsive.
