You can spend your money on exhaust and a tune and intake with plenum but none of these mods will get you anywhere close to doing 0-60mph in low 4's high 3's. Hate to be the party pooper but your driving one of the best handling cars in the world not the fastest so embrace the handling for all it's worth.

There a number of Porsche dealerships that will keep the warranty intact, even with substantial modifications, such as larger turbos.

Maybe some adjustable shocks, coilovers? if you are going that route :D
Arn't these 2. GT3 lower control arms (Tarett) 3. Monoballs, drop links, rear toe control arms (Tarret) Track specific Items ? Sway bars -deffinately ;) You work for Tarret? At one point I thought the monoball and spherical end pieces were track items, but after getting my RS decked out, I found there were no negatives and all positives. Ride quality was not harmed, and steering feel and driving dynamics were greatly improved. Look at the new GT2RS specs- OE rose jointed suspension pieces. If it compromised ride or durability, they would not have done it. Taking the slack out, the elastomerics, increases the precision of the controls and feedback. A beautiful thing :p Regarding the GT3 lower control arms, it is simply not possible to achieve the necessary negative camber with the stock LCA's. And the added camber hardly affects wear (toe does that), while adding a great degree of crispness and much reduced tire shoulder wear when driving on track or street with gusto. The Spyder has crazy understeer when at 8/10ths driving and higher. Only way to get it out is via stiffer rear sway bar. Ask me how I know :p I am working with a shock and suspension specialist now on a coilover solution. Give me a couple months to get that worked out...lol |
Savyboy, love the info you provided, and in no way am i knocking your posts, but not everyone wants to:
A: spend that much money B: knows enough/can drive at that level to benefit from those type of modifications C: tracks their car I for one and not intersted in big HP numbers (turbo kits,etc) but am interested in modding my Spyder for the street/back road cruising/looks/sound. Hopefully more people can chime in with ideas/products and services/projects that can be done on this car. Cheers! :) |

I'm with you on all points. Fully agreed. Only intention was to argue the suspension mods offer as much or more performance bang for the buck than an exhaust or ecu flash and wanted to present a different perspective for those seeking faster carving vs straight line performance. Most folks don't think "suspension mods" on an already awesome car, but they offer a lot of tasty goodness. Love your new Spyder my friend! :D
Cheers! :) I for one also think that besides the handle of this car the best part about it is the looks/style. Just an AWESOME looking car. So i plan on hyping that up a bit :) Thanks for the post tho. I actually copy/pasted to my "Spyder.doc" for my susp upgrades that are soon to come (crazy, yes, i know already hahaha) Cheers my friend |

Sayboy.
I would like to get it to low 4's high 3's. |

It would be interesting to see how much one would have to spend to get this car to go high 3's. I think it would be a dollar amount that would make most rethink the purchase of this car and not a C2S.
...that being said, a TPC Turbo in a Spyder would be a total blast. |
What a ride, this car is a blast. Just took it out again after work. Got to do this more often.

Spyder mods
Great choice of color. I have modified my spyder with both the capristo exhaust and softronic tuning. My spyder was great as stock but is truly fantastic after these two mods.The exhaust sound is terrific and the tuning has improved the low rev as well as the mid rev range. According to both capristo and softronics my hp should be around 344 with torque approaching 292. I have track the spyder twice since the mods and I truly can tell a difference.
