Spec Cayman - who is thinking about it?
Just testing the waters. Anyone building a car (other than some hooligan aussie in the northeast)?

Nope. It would cost me money to de-mod my car to fit into those rules.
I'm not one of those "class expert" people but I think "H" is pretty similar to Spec Cayman. My car is "Prepared I" only because of big brakes up front, the rear spoiler, and a chip.
If I want to go "up" I could go to GTB1 but my car is a Gen1 so I am at a weight disadvantage. Some have gone to GTB1 with a gen 1 but I think they are probably better drivers than me!

^ i was told spec cay = gen 1 cars 2006-8 from a racer/shop out east, stahl?
i do not know if that's really it.
but i dont understand why ppl has to continue to create new classes. GT4, GTB1, spec cayman just so that each class has 2 cars instead of one class with more cars.....

From the Proposed 2016 PCA Club Race Rules:
SPC
A Spec Cayman class (SPC) with rules similar to SPB (Spec Boxster) and SP996 is proposed for the 2006-2008 Cayman S models. This class should allow competitive racing with controlled costs. Details concerning suspension modifications, engine and transmission and power steering modifications to control heat, rim sizes and spec tires, and other variables are being discussed.
The Technical & Rules Coordinator told me that the goal was to keep the performance between SPB and GTB.

I found some rules on the POC web site. No doubt PCA will be different, but gives an idea:
