We all know this car can do it but it's not that easy especially when the people who just slap a Turbo or S/C on their cars never pay attention to their Brakes or other Suspension bits. I have seen builds here on the forums where the owners take care of their suspension and go through what is needed to make the car a "COMPLETE" car.
The current Cayman S has 315 Horsepower at the Crank, no turbos - non of that that crap. But Porsche did make it a helluva handling platform out of the box.
One thing for sure when I get the Scion or Subaru is I'm going Super Charged, everything else is open. Intake, Exhaust - keeping Catalytic converter and may upgrade to a larger Cat System if necessary. But I do known I will have to shelf all the suspension bits for something much more tunable.
Anybody know where to start or have any input into the matter.
Oh off the bat I'm searching for about 300whp tunable up to 325whp - I know the Porsche aren't doing that much. When they say their Cayman S is making 315, it's at the crank. But they are still able to peel off 0-60 times of 4.5 using their PDK, which I have on my 911 Turbo.
I don't know what it is, but Porsche is playing by different rules because their transmissions are just about the most efficient Transmissions out there.
While we can figure that most trannies are soaking up about 20% of the power, the Porsche are doing something closing in the low teens.

You forgot one thing. Your goal requires that the Porsche driver not be a good driver... If the Porsche driver is good, then what? Just saying
Also, the Cayman S is 325hp...~275whp
As far as drivetrain losses go, the FRS is at about 14% or so to the wheels. So is everyone else. Porsche doesn't have magically more efficient gears.
So we know what your goal is. How much are you willing to spend to get to that goal? Are you okay knowing that you'll still lack the refinement of the Cayman?
We can definitely help you get there.
