My S is in the neighborhood of 320 - 330 at the crank with over 282 at the wheels . That combo with the mid engine chassis is a ton of fun to drive . She is tough to handle in the rain but even in the dry can be a handful if I am not careful . Every weak point has been addressed and to look under the hood it all looks stock . If need be any Porsche shop could work on it .

I have driven a LOT of water cooled 996's and some 997's and they are great cars . But they are GT's not sports cars . They are not tossible they are too heavy. But on a highway set the cruise at 100 and they are fantastic. Just my opinion others may disagree . Have fun with whatever whatever you choose .

Thanks for the link. The cayman roller would be a fun platform to play with.

What's the displacement? Still running factory electronics?

I'm salivating just imagining, Haha.

It is a 3.6 built on my 3.2 block with all kinds of exotic goodies inside care of Jake Raby . Still utilizes factory ECU but with a custom Jake Raby in house tuning program . I could pull more out of it if I switched to his custom cams but I see no need for more power , currently it is a great sleeper and behaves well like starts great hot or cold , good idle , better MPG than stock if I keep my foot out of it etc. in my opinion it is darn near perfect . If I had more disposable income I'm sure the addition of his in house custom cams , a 996 intake system and some playing around with the exhaust could easily get me in the 375 hp arena .
