If you are looking for suspension, our TPC Racing sway bars and links alone are worth about 5 seconds.

Have you got an LSD in the car? If not, there's at least 2 seconds a lap that you are missing, and as soon as you have more power you'll find that you are traction limited.

Good luck! I'm in for details... It's probably something I'll do in th next 2 years lol...

Doesn't the R and Spyder come with an LSD already?

And how much will suspension upgrades help ? The car handles pretty well already right? And won't affect the oil I'm guessing?

I live in Maryland, really have to visit tpc... Saw a 2011 gt3 rs the other day at my dealer, had a big tpc banner a d liscence plate frame.. Nice guy

LSD is standard in the CR.

According to his sign, turbo kit. I have to guess this or something similar:

On the other hand, I'd keep it relatively stock as possible. Better question is, why not buy S and put turbo kit?

Turbo, looking forward to testing it out. I had A VF supercharger on it for the last few years, it will be interesting to see how the 2 compare.

StockKiller,

If you are doing the TPC stage 3+ go with the JRZ RS1 over the PSS10's. I had Stage 3+ on my Base Cayman before it got wrecked. The JRZ's suspension is awesome. I was able to salvage it off the wreck and is at TPC right now. I am going eventually have it put on my Cayman R.

Has ANYONE been to the track with the turbo car to compare it to the 3.8L DFI Cayman?

Here is a comparison between a regular 3.4L TPC Racing Turbo car and our Spyder with a new 3.8L X51 GTS engine at the track.
