I have a 2007 Cayman S and recently took the Porsche Performance Driving School!! I can't say it's the same thrill as when I would take my track bike out for a track day but it came damn close! For me a big part of it was that it was a different kind of challenge, learning new techniques and such.

I think you are cheating on your name Mr. zx-12!

Stretched/lowered? If you are running it at a stock wheelbase then you are a bit looney!
