I’ll add that this question shows a fundamental lack of understanding of organized wheel to wheel competition.
If you run donkeys against donkeys, and thoroughbreds against thoroughbreds, it’s likely to be a good race. They are not competing against each other, even though they may be combined on track at the same time.

Yeah, that's not racing...
This is racing, with a "base" model Porsche...

Not sugar wood but I’m curious to what questions he/she asked in the past!
Im going to have to do a search!
I bought a base 2016 cayenne as my first ever Porsche. Very happy with the car and it’s base capabilities. Here in Texas, in Dallas, there’s not much use for me with a gts or turbo s. (Lack of driving skills, it could get away from me).
I’m interested in possibly upgrading rotors and brakes but don’t want to cause issues as Porsche owners seem to keep the cars pure with no after market parts. True? Just from what I read it appears that way. It makes sense that if a car is well engineered you can loose some of that “engineering” when you introduce aftermarket parts.

This is by far one of the most ignorant threads I have ever had the misfortune to read in this forum.. good job, the bar is pretty high! Is the Cayenne SUV forum boring to troll?

Racing is sanctioned competition in a race car. You’re just talking about high performance driving in any car.

The Cayenne is the top selling Porsche and it comes in versions with the large/fast engines. This makes me pause a bit because like you, it does NOT seem like a track car compared to other Porsche models; but they outfit it like it is.
Im not sure of the reasoning in the USA to buy a Cayenne with maxed out engine, upgraded brakes, etc. maybe an S, okay. But a Turbo S Cayenne? As another poster stated: not many Cayennes on the tracks these days...
My original question was answered a few posts ago. Proper care and maintenance will make all the difference even more so than the trim line...
