It's funny you should say that as the car is almost restricted as standard, a cat back exhaust, different intake plenum and a remap will see 350-360bhp no problems at all and for very little money, it's an interesting concept as it's only slightly heavier than a GT3...

The Cayman is the 911 Portch always wanted to make. Could have called it the 911 b, or 911 v1.1 or something. They missed a trick there.

Good review.
The very thing that a lot of folks criticise the Porsche model range for is its greatest strength - each model develops and improves over the years to reach its full potential.
Without the previous years of Boxster development the Cayman would never have hit the ground running as it did.
I had one of the first 2.5 Boxsters, when I recently went for the 3.4 S it was a real eye opener, it's twice the car I owned 10 years ago.

MB - No need for expensive ceramics, although they are good, Alcon do a full front and rear set for just over 3k...
Moggy - There is a bit of a story about Porsche approaching a Cayman race team the other year and offering them a "very good deal/offer they couldnt refuse" on a 911 to race as their Cayman was beating the 911's.....how true it is i'm not sure, but when you start reading up its easy to see where the Cayman has been held back.
m1bjr - Thought about the quaife, going to track it first and see how it copes without one.

If its anything like me pitting a 335 before an M3, then its the axle that's the biggest differential.
The car is a totally different animal, and hobbled without.
I would imagine your Cayman to be exactly the same.
