Great chassis on the Cayman Al...and well balanced car.
If its the R and youre in the dry and he is confindent driver youll have your work cut out!!.
If its wet..youll stand a good chance.

I am estimating I will be in the 200 whp/T region unless my mandatory power to weight testing session says otherwise.

So how much of the bhp figure is lost between engine and wheels then? What kinda weights your car at the moment?

Anywhere between 10-25% depending on what dyno you use and how it works it out. I think I will be approx 1220kg all in (car + fluids + cage + driver). Although I will have to wait and see what my car is recorded at.
