Now we just need more PCA racing on the West Coast. Two a year is not enough to support a build.
Until then, we will build a few more CaymanSpec cars to race with the POC. The spec aligns well with GTB1 for those that want to cross over.
Mooty, you in?

GTB-1 = WC lots of racing. No need to have too many classes for caymans also for that matter another classes. The MantisSport cayman now has 12k miles of racing on it. Prepping it now for 2011 season, PCA and WC.

Makes me smile to hear that the PCNA cars are gaining interest. I understand that everyone likes Cup cars and that they're seen as more advanced than any of our former Grand-Am Cup/Continental Tire Porsches. But more and more people are calling us asking about building Cayman and 997 track and race cars because of things like $3800 transmissions and $8000 fresh motors from PCNA as opposed to blowing up your blessed GT3 race motor or servicing a 997 cup sequential trans. The more the merrier! And I know of two greatly discounted 997 race cars for sale!

Sounds good. We're working on a package of parts and goodies that should put the current DFI Cayman S track car at close to 375hp at the crank. Should be fun!

i dont know the classing rules and such, as i find all rules are meaningless in book., but you or someone should really come up with a composite hatch for the cayman cars. OME is way heavy.

dude, FIRST thing is open it up to ppl who are not in HSR.
HSR is not active on west coast.
two of us wrong coaster and very early cayman adopters tried to get one of the cars when it first came out. lots of "difficulties"... then we gave up.
and having ONE shop allow build the car is ........... *(^@)%(&()Q*
i asked about where to source the wing... ah.. it's PROPRIETARY.... WTF.
this attitude is worse than PMNA. if i want to get raped, i much rather just deal with PMNA as i already know how big a ***** i need to accept.
letting Gen 1 cars in wont make it grow faster. finding the right drivers who are/were dumping money into it and building a car up in a month or two was the key. you will have a LOT of issues with rules. keep a close tab on SM racing, top guys will run both gen cars depending on track. you cannot equalize the cars.
of course, you know me well from our PM's. this is not directed at YOU, but at the interseries....
yes, to say i am a bit PISSED OFF... is an understatement.

Those power numbers are it though for the 3.4 engine. It's very high revving and can handle 7800 RPM in race situations for hours on end, completely stock. That assusmes full race headers and exhaust, DME flash, race intake (entire OEM intake system/manifold have been removed), pulley kit, lightweight aluminum flywheel, bulletproof glass, phone with scramblers, and the kitchen sink!

SPG I was there this weekend too (and terrorized some Caymans and got terrorized by some too....).
Seeing all of the Cayman's out there is cool and they have proven to be reliable. Most of them finished the 4 hour enduro yesterday. Most everyone brought a ringer to sit in and it showed on the timesheets.

Two of the Cayman Interseries cars placed in the top 3 overall for the 4 hour enduro.
