    Porsche Cayman GT4 vs. Modified NSX

    My Asian population comment was just for refrence of the worldwide market As we all know the nsx made allot of headlines in the US and rest of the world and still gets referred to in modern car reviews In the US the JDM following started in the 90's thus that generation of teenage dreamers...

    Porsche Cayman GT4 vs. Modified NSX

    Value will always be relative Were talking about a relatively young legendary car with production numbers so low they compare to testarosa's 7500 production. with this low of production eventually there will be buyers for cars in ANY condition just like people will buy a rustbucket 356 buried...

    Porsche Cayman GT4 vs. Modified NSX

    so slow2speed in your opinion is that because he runs a vented hood a redneck gurney flap and suspension and exhaust that makes his car significantly modded? Those are about the most basic mods that the majority of this forum has made, Allot of modifications to me, means turbos, superchargers...

    Porsche Cayman GT4 vs. Modified NSX

    Jinks thanks! NSX has been running great, took a few months to get the turbo bugs ironed out and the carbon manifold reinforced to hold boost and track tested. Been mostly focusing on replacing any old parts that could fail soon, for a cross country road trip I'm starting in a about a month...

    Porsche Cayman GT4 vs. Modified NSX

    Lol.. yeah it's pretty ghetto but it does work.. Btw I want to be clear, I am in no way making fun of his car or setup. I talk to Ryan via email/messaging about his suspension setup ect, and realize he's a great driver, well above the average. I only referred to his example of modifications...

    Porsche Cayman GT4 vs. Modified NSX

    Who's picking talking points, when I still never talked about a 100% stock NSX and every reference your making of my comments has been ignored that i made specific comparisons to lightly modded but stock "weight / power" and am well aware ryans NSX is not "stock" and know that EMI built Ryan's...

    Porsche Cayman GT4 vs. Modified NSX

    I made 2 comparisons, the majority of my comments had to do with heavily modified NSX like RYU's 1: "Porsche has not invented some magic bullet in the GT4 that will outpace an NSX when modified with "COMPARABLE" tire sizes & compounds, COMPARABLE power to weight, brakes and suspension, and...

    Porsche Cayman GT4 vs. Modified NSX

    As someone already mentioned, those GT4's are weighing in on the rennlist forums closer to 3200lbs I've noticed more and more manufactures advertising "dry weight" especially on special track oriented editions to make them appear a lot lighter than their street counterparts... therefore the...

    Unofficial weight reduction thread

    Relbart Great Research, I had no idea how much lighter the carbon pads are, that's amazing so around 19lbs lighter than stock for all 4 corners.! if each corner may save about 20lbs, how do you plan on losing 200lbs unsprung weight? if i understand you correctly OEM pads are 21lbs total, so...
