I might have to call BS on this one. Either that or the old grandma driving the Cayman had no idea you were racing her.

I don't know how slow auto caymans are(i wouldn't own an automatic sports car for the life of me) but it was either a bad driver, a driver breaking the car in, or an auto.

I've have varying degrees of drawing dead even to slightly winning against my friend's e46 m3 smg and evo mr.

But good for you nice win, if you are on the east coast, I'm in DC, I would take you up on your challenge for a race anytime.

But the Gayman comment, grow up, seriously. We used to call SLK drivers the same way back when, but come on, thats childish.

You don't think your 997S was compromised in potential power? Every porsche that is made now fills a definite gap, explain to me why the 3.8 in the S does not produce 380 or 415 hp like the gt3 motors do? If the 3.8 was tuned to its fullest potential, then short of weighing less and having a rawer setup, the gt3 would be compromised in its "lore" by a 380 hp more comfortable carrera s.

you don't think your carrera s was built as a compromise to fit a specific price point between carrera owners and gt3/turbo buyers? Sorry to let you know, but it is.

All porsches are, nearly every sports car <100K is a compromise.

The only one two that I could think of are the m3 csl, and the gt3.


And what did you think? You would get cool e-props for coming to the cayman section and typing gayman? here are two eprops for you cool guy.
FYI....there is nothing similar bewteen the GT3 motor and a carrera...even X51.

But yes two different tools for different jobs.

Gayman...come on now...too bad your slk was not a gen 1 version - then the irony would be complete!!

ah well...i do find it surprising as well. Just goes to show you, street racing is kinda like internet bench racing...
