Moded base cayman = to stock cayman s?

So here is the question

I love moding cars, so when I get the car I will change

- EXHAUST
- SUSPENSION
- WHEELS

and probably a ECU reflash

So this is the question, if I do this to the BASE CAYMAN, will the car perform as a stock CAYMAN S, or even better?

Or asking in another way, are this the diferences between a base cayman and an S?

Most probably Gen 1,

But I forgot the engine diference, so I guess the answer is NO.

actually the answer is YES!!! you can mod the 2.7 to equal or better the performance of the S model you want a NA or TURBO discription of mods ?

I guess, I would prefere to buy the S and do the same mods as I mentioned.

But if you have the NA list, would be great to know.

Interestingly, the changes you mention provide the majority of the difference between the 2nd gen Cayman S and Cayman R. The rest comes from weight savings, an aero kit and light weight rims.
