Time for the daily Cayman update

Another tuned Cayman S, this time by German tuner Strosek. (http://www.strosek.de you might wanna check their site out, it's pretty neat and in English too). Anyway here are the important facts:
380 Bhp (that's 85 more than stock)
415 Nm of Torgue
0-60 takes just 4.7 seconds and it goes all the way up to a Vmax of 180 MPH (or 288 km/h).




(the rims suck tho, too much lip for a Cayman)

pilone is just really nicepilone is just really nicepilone is just really nicepilone is just really nicepilone is just really nice
What a good make up!!
but as you said the rims are a bit...ugly. Maybe putting some Cargraphics on...should be finally better
Than 85 hp more sure makes the difference...is it lighter than stock? It should be and awesome handling
Thanks for the news

I really like it. I don't even mind the rims. I like that deep a lip on the back.

It is hot with the fat lip rims. why can't a Cayman have fat lip wheels like the TT. Hell it is almost as fast as a non x50 TT. It will be a better track car.

.. program looks like it could be yet another 3.8L X51 swap + other goodies. The numbers seem to be the same as the other 3.8L swaps.

I'm sorry but the Turbo does 4.2 0-60 and tops out at 305 km/h (191 MPH), the Cayman is fast but not in the same league as the Turbo. ½ a second difference in 0-60 is still a lot especially in the sub 5 seconds. I don't know if it will beat a Turbo on a track, maybe Strosek should send one over the Nürburgring and see what it does.

It is so close that a miss ship would have it! As for the track you have to be kidding me! The Mid engine platform is far more useful on the track then the dated rear engine. With cars like this and the other Cayman GT post floating around, we should start a farewell tour for the 911!

I know that one of the tuners is sending a modded cayman (the 3.8L X51, suspension, LSD) to the 'ring, to be tested against the 997S, 997, and GT3, with street tires and Rcomps.

Testing to happen this summer; pro driver behind the wheel. Should be fun to see the numbers.

AWD. I know you're way more experienced than me, heck I've never even driven a Porsche but you're probably are a bit biased too since you own a mid-engined car.

Indeed, should be interesting to see what numbers they're gonna get out of it.

A Gt3 is RWD andis a much better track car then the TT (AWD). Trust me as everyone here should tell you it is a more useable chassis. The cayman with some motons and a motor from the GT3. I will let you guess who wins.

BTW that was supposed to be (MIS-SHIFT)
