At least I'm not running a Delorean! I can't imagine that being competing. The way to go here is a Cayman R.

While we're on the topic, here are the (p-car) results from the AutoX. Maybe the ol 2.5 isn't all that bad.

97 Porsche Boxster 53.536
71 Porsche 911 54.85
06 Porsche Cayman S 55.911
01 Porsche Carrera 4 56.312
14 Porsche Cayman 59.637
08 Porsche Cayman 61.534


It finished 11th overall out of 80 cars, but it was VERY wet which saved me.

Big smooth Lee, thanks for correcting me by the way. It also looks like since I only have an exhaust I should be running in Stock.

Good Job, work on seat time.

Just remember, its not all about power, its about skill and suspension. Many sub 200hp cars that weigh about the same as base boxster can be very fast.

Also, max out your alignment. Go to your local spot, and ask him for these settings. Its the cheapest mod you can do, and it'll be a night and day difference.

Front:
Toe- 0
Camber- -1 deg ( all you can get, you may have to show the tech how to remove the trim inside of the front trunk to max out the front camber )

Rear:
Toe in- 1/16
Camber- -1 deg

These were my first settings while my suspension was stock. Im sure others will have great alignment advice as well.

Congrats on beating Englebert. The frog (green 71 911) is a helluva car. It's right around 1600 lbs, and he's sporting a 3.6 from a 964. He and I have gone back and forth in F-prepared for a while. Sooner or later I'm going to make a VMSC event. Something cool coming up will be the AX for the Richmond Porsche Meet. Sunday, June 1 at Southside Speedway. Shenandoah Region Porsche Club of America

haha, that will never happen again, the rain saved me. He beat me by 2 seconds on Sunday. You should definitely try and make a VMSC event, I'll sign up for the PCA event at South Side, I haven't been there in years
