Cayman R 4th in Motor Trend Mag Driver Car Test

Dubbed the best purist car,

Lap time 1:41 and change

3-1st 1:36 and change

Cayman R 330 HP
3RD GT3Rs 450Hp
2nd GTR 500 hp
ST 458 Italia 570 HP

seems to me bolt on a TPC Turbo and all go behind


Cayman R PDK 70,000 plus depending on Options, TPC Turbo 9999
GT3RS 150k plus
GTR 100k plus
458 300k plus


hmmmmmmmmmmmmm


curious how a Cayman R with 350 hp kit would do to narrow the gap?

food for thought

Put 10k into the GTR at the same time, and the results wouldn't be pretty.

Put $10k into the 458 and get an embossed head rest.

Just like the C&D handling test between the CR and GT3 where the GT3 kept its track spec tires.

Curious that the results of this test go from top to bottom based on each car's hp. What track was used for the test, and does it favor a higher HP setup?

The track was Laguana Seca

the Cayman R did not have ceramics or the tires the GTRS had

the Corvette Z07 stopped in 94 ft with ceramics from 60
the GTRS with ceramics stopped in 98 ft from 60

I do think with ceramics and same tire compound as the GTRS

the gap would have been bridged!
