986 Boxster vs 987.2 Cayman a comparison

[Topless]

Update on my transition from 2.5 Boxster to 2.9L Cayman PDK.

She is fun, she is pretty, with all the bells and whistles but she is a fat lady. 300# heavier than my well developed Boxster and so far not much faster. I have 3 track weekends on the car now with GT3 LCAs and much better alignment. I like the balance and turn-in, I like the torque, but going nose to tail with my brother on the same tires he can corner faster. I am throttle steering at the limit while he is pulling away a bit. This week we go on a diet to get 150# off the car and restore dignity in the corners. I am also fairly annoyed with PSM that is sticking it's nose in where it doesn't belong way too often. We are going to snip that little guy and get him out of my business.

Buttonwillow in 2 weeks and the development continues... A benevolent donor offered up some Toyo RR tires that we will be exploring as well. If we like em we will be running on those next year and shooting for a PCA championship. This is a development year. More to come...
