I brought it up, but only as a side note in conversation about how much I drive my car. This thread gets derailed very easily

 

On a road course, it would be a driver's Race between a Cayman S and your S. The Cayman would be the faster car all else equal. The mods you've completed would not give you an advantage IMO, but it gets you much closer to an even benchmark. It would make for an interesting test. It will be fun to have your car at GIR. We will see the proof then; my thinking is you will have one of the fastest cars.

 

If the GIR event is after I get the ITB's installed

I need to take my car to Oster at 1st class, something is popping in my right front suspension, and my car feels a little squirly up there...I've been afraid to to track is lately...

 

I agree that the Cayman S is one of the few cars I'd consider trading my S2 for as well.

As far as beating them in a drag race...well sure we can with mods and if they are stock, but it doesn't take away from the fact that I'd rather be driving that car, and that its much nicer overall.

 

is anyone using any of the stroker kits? How effective/reliable are these?

 

 

What if you have a geared s2k vs a cayman?

My friend has a cayman and he said he hit 13.3 at the track the other night. All the other runs were around 13.5 steady.

I'm about to put 4.77 gears in my car....

 

That's a pretty impressive time...I'm betting it's a Cayman S.

 

This thread is so far off track now, I love it. From a thread made to give real-world examples of how to make bolt-on power with this car to guys talking about their friends' Porches at the drag strip -- yet another thread bitten by the bored-guy-on-the-internet bug .

So I feel the need to chime in on this thread now in an even more abstract way -- I've got an SS Camaro putting down about 600whp, but back when it was around 275-300whp I used to race Carerra Ss on the interstate, I live in South Florida so you can't really get over 140 on the freeway without hitting something, but it was consistently neck-and-neck between our cars from 70-140. I would think someone with a nice, aerodynamic S2000 and 220whp could do the same, I've heard that our car is drag-limited to ~155mph, if that's the case then it would be hard for a stock-body car to hit 140 (not that I've ever done it when my car was stock, officer).

 

its not off track, were still talking hp right?

but on the topic of hitting 140, it not hard at to hit 140 for me. 150 takes some balls but 140 is not bad at all.
