#21
no saturdays, open 8-5 monday through friday... if saturday is the only day you can come up there is a possibility we could coordinate something... Let me know in advance and call up Tom Chan(410-799-7223) to let him know when you will stop by so we can have a number of cars available for you to look at.

Cant disclose any specifics... His name is ITMERC on Cayman club if you would like to speak with him directly.
We are about to announce some new power packages for the cayman and we are capable of giving prices for engine/suspension/brake upgrades but not much past that i am afraid. We will see what is in the future for this level of cayman project soon.
