Put it this way my street car GTS is just as fast and a little faster at Sebring than a gutted race Cayman. Now if a Cayman came with a 9A1 X50 3.8l GTS engine I'd take the Cayman

Both my 09 Carrera S and 2012 GTS both pdk and zero issues. Solid cars

Both cars have similar build cost. Cayman is easier to Drive for amateur like me

Mdrums: What mods have you done, or would you like to do, to make the GTS more track worthy

Well my pockets are not all that deep and I don't want to go all out on a car I might not keep past 1 more year. The mod's I've done have been good but there might be better choices than the products I have picked out

Here is what I've done
***Porsche GT3 Cup LCA w/ Tarett Mono Ball Ends and RSS Soild Thrust Washers
***Orbit adjustable Sways front and rear with Porsche Motorsport drop links
***RSS Rear Toe Links
***Bilstein B16 Damptronics Coil Overs...better than stock but might not be as good as KW Club Sport or Ohlins and so forth $$$$$
***Porsche GT3 Front 6 Piston Calipers and 350mm Rotors
***RSS Roll Bar
***Scroth Harness

Here is what I'd like to do:
***Guard Transmission PDK LSD installed by BGB Motorsports in Daytona
***PDK cooling by BGB Motorsports in Daytona ( I have not had any cooling issues though)
***Lightweight Flywheel by BGB Motorsports in Daytona
***Porsche GT3/Turbo rear calipers and 350mm rotors
***Dog bones for the rear
***Solid Subframe mount kit...GT3's come with this stock
*** Monoball and Solid Thrust Washer for rear LCA
*** more pro level coaching
