This is going to be a great build up to follow, the only thing better would be to follow the build of both cars. If you are putting a full AI interior in the 08 you should transplant the new black interior form the 08 to the 06 and let AI rework the blue interior into whatever your imagination can come up with.
If you hope to get the full potential out of the 06 for track use it needs the limited slip diff a light weight flywheel a set of Bilstein PSS9’s wouldn’t hurt either.
I look forward to seeing the progress

slotted >> drilled.

For sure thats why race brakes like Stoptech are slotted

Really cool build .

Many more to come.

Ethan - how is the build going. I need my Cayman S fix.

That car was a blast to drive the way it was, I cant wait to see how it will be after these mods.
I was fortunate enough to put it through its paces a couple of weeks ago at Monticello, that little car was an absolute blas to drive on the track. A hint of understeer but the new mods should fix that.
