3.8L Cayman Shootout!! (FVD v Techart v Carsport)
A magazine in Europe tested a few of the 3.8L Cayman conversions and we were included so I though I would share the article! I know not to many can read German, but you can at least see the photos and performance numbers!






Regards,
Evan

Evan -

Which FVD package was this, the 997S X51 conversion?

Great results.

How can the Carsport Cayman be 5.6 0-100kph? Doesn't the stock car do it in 5.3-5.4?

Awesome article. Looks like FVD swept the performance segment....yes, I can read some German....and the little red numbers kinda gave it away...

Evan,
Yes. I'm starting to twitch uncontrollably at the thought of getting the car back. If I had waited another couple of months...I would have gone for the X51 conversion....
