Car enthusiasts do their own research through the forums, blogs, and magazines. Garage419 isn't here to be the source of car information like CNN is for current events. Debates, biased reviews, and straight forward interviews are just some of the things to expect on '419.

    oh one last thing that cayman is nice but i'd much rather have a GT3RS anyday. i know the cayman is a car u can "live with" and still go racing with, but any car that can make me have a cargasm like the GT3RS does is a car i can live with day to day, i mean shit, i'm not some old man with a bad back i dont really need that much comfort even for a long trip. lol. what can i say??? the GT3RS is where my hearts at.

    Thanks Mike! - The show seems unscripted because it is unscripted, and we all are buddies, we just have video cameras :) . And the Cayman GTR is not just a regular Cayman, it has a Carrera 4S X51 motor swap that makes over 400 HP and will leave a GT3RS in the dust!

    Good job on this one guys!
    Matt is it true that just by switching out the rear end in a Cayman that you can beat a 911. But that Porsche doesn't want there iconic rear engined 911 to be shown up. What do ya think?

    lol well ur welcome matt, just know that as easy as the praise and admaration comes i'll be the first to let u hear it {God forbid} if things go south, so pls dont drop the ball cuz i really love the show lol. anyways yes Matt i know the Cayman GTR isnt a stock Cayman i was paying attention the first time Roger Garbow was on the show, lol and i did some googling, lol. how eva i'm not too sure that cayman would give the GT3RS the business seemz to me like they're pretty closely match'd whats that exact horsepower and torque that thing is putting down and what the power to weight ratio, or r u making the clam cuz its been tested head to head againt the GT3RS???? if not i think it should be on garge 419 it'll make for a good show. besides and this is one of the last things on the list when i comes to cars for me, the look of the cayman just doesnt do it for me, its cuz of the rear which is where it differs most from the 911's. to me the stock cayman looks like a rich house wifes car, although the new body kit on tha GTR makes it look much much tougher the rear just kills it for me. like i said the GT3RS has my heart man, lol i'm sure u know what i mean, erry car guy has that one car and gT3RS is THAT car for me at least as far as Porsche goes that is. and yeah how about the head to head GT3RS vs Cayman GTR???

    The GTR puts down 430 Horsepower, and can be tuned as high as 500 hp, although I don't have torque numbers. I also don't know the exact weight of the GTR except to say it is within 50 pounds of a stock Cayman.

    Stay tuned to Garage 419 for the next few weeks when we explore whether or not the GTR is actually faster than the GT3. In fact, if you want to come to one of the NYMC track days, you may be able to see in person!

    Love this episode. Need more shots of the outside of the car when shooting road tests. Interior shots are lame. :)
