Ok so the cayman is 132 lbs lighter than 944 Turbo S, plus has the advantage of suspension design 20 year newers and mid engine. Turbo does have torque edge, but also suffers turbo lag. Hmm.... Which car do you think will be faster?

surprisingly, the cayman has an old suspension design, mac struts on all 4 corners. porsche has made it work though
stock for stock, i would say the cayman is faster due to the mid engined layout and linear power curve (more area under the curve than the peaky turbo S)

Given the engine restriction rules a legal Turbo S might pick up what maybe 25HP? Again trying to stay legal here.

If there is a way to do it legally...I'd love to know. I'm content to be a mid-pack runner running a legal car...I know the big nut behind the wheel has tons of tuning improvement yet to be done.

I know the E class 964 cars were running 964 RSR suspension bits and pieces, the rear arms looked like 935 pieces. I dont think these mods are in the spirit of the stock rules but they may be legal.

that would be amazing but i don't think would work. fronts yes but rears no. the rear on the cayman are struts so you would have to adapt the RSR subframe/suspension to receive the multilink suspension. yikes
