give the lightweights more power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PhantomPorsche 15/02/08, 00:11:15
All this car needs is 400 horsepower and the R8 doesnt stand a chance. Why wont Porsche add more power?? Even if it was better and had more power i would still like the 911 because its a legend. The Cayman, mid-engined, and lighter makes it and advantage over the 911.

Anonymous 15/02/08, 11:58:11
Why do you think mid engined cars are faster than rear? I don't think there are rules here, every engine-placing philosophy has it's advantages (well, almost) and disadvantages, if MR is so good, why did Porsche have so much success in racing the 911 in the past? Btw R8 doesn't stand much chance against almost any 911.

Georg 15/02/08, 19:10:45
lot of nonsens .. there are only very few 911 which are faster as the R8 and the 911 that are faster are more expansive or much more expansive... GT3, GT3 RS, GT2 and turbo. Simple look at the Hockenheim shorttrack time of the R8..there are only the latest generation 997 GT3, GT3 RS and Turbo faster, a 993 GT2 is clearly slower, a 996 and 993 Turbo stay no chance..The most remarkable racing success of Porsche LeMans victorys ALMS, TransAm trimuphs etc. are mostly driven with midengine race cars. 917, 956, 962, Syder etc.. Correct is almost any 911 stand no chance vs the R8 only the much more expansive ones..

PhantomPorsche 15/02/08, 22:17:23
The mid-engine helps it with overall stability so many more people would push it to the limit but if a brave driver was driving than it wont really matter. Talking about prices, the R8 and the 997 GT3 come dead on here in the US, about $107,000 each for almost the same amount of power. The 911 has advantages vs the R8, lighter more off the line grip.

Anonymous 17/03/08, 19:31:29
lol georg .. u have no idea r8 can't stand with carrera s ... 996 turbo does 62 mph in 4.2 sec .3 faster than the r8 ...and the price ...hmm it's like 40k more than the carrera s ..so thinl about it

Georg 17/03/08, 20:13:17
Mr Anonymous in the last UK test the R8 was clocked with 4.1s 0-62mph by Evo magazine, the slow ass CarreraS is claimed with 4.8s 0-62mph by Porsche the price different between a basic CarreraS and a R8 is little 15K Euro, between the Carrera4S ant the R8 it is only 8k Euro! You have absolutly no idea..the reason why you hide yourself behind Anonyous..

lol georg Anonymous is right the porsche is faster than the R8 georg knows nothing about cars only Anonymous and me and the rest of the members

I had tested one CaymanS. I was happy. The best sport car ever for each day. Better than 911 Carrera 4S, that i'd tested 3 hours before.

Anonymous 10/08/08, 19:18:30
I also think the Cayman should have more power, not as much as the 911 Carrera S though. Maybe the same as the base Carrera would be good. And for all those that say that MR is better than RR, for the most part you're right, but C/D had a feature on a Cayman with the C2S engine and the Cayman's 0-60 was slower that the C2S even though it was lighter. Putting the engine at the rear gives better traction off the line. And compare the facelift C2S to the R8 on this site. The C2S wins and its cheaper.
