Your Projects: 2150-Pound Porsche Cayman for Autocross and Hillclimbs

Good luck on finding the remaining 150 pounds. At first it's easy, but the closer you get to the goal the harder - and much more expensive - those pounds become to find.

I never paid for the stage 3 weight reduction in Gran Turismo, either. Cost/benefit ya know.

I think if there is anybody that knows this, it would be the owner of the Cayman.

A Cayman S that weighs about the same as my 1974 2.0 914? It fills me with want.

In my case the driver mod could easily get me halfway there. LOL I need to go on a diet

Hmm you do know that a ton is 2000 pounds, right? ;)

Actually this car has lots of easy weight left to pull..  Decklid skins to repace OEM trunk lid, plexi windshield, remove heater and blower system, pull e brakes, pull remaining dash structure out, drill out spot welds on front and  rear trunk floors and replace with lightweight fiberglass ,  thin out OEM wiring harness, pull all heat shielding out of rear of the car,  Go from my 24 lb  battery to a 8 lb lithium,. titanium wheel studs and nuts , Race slicks rather than heavy DOT tires,   ....However I have gone and done something crazy that adds a couple lbs.

....Well upgraded Garret ball bearing turbo from TPC turbo kit adds a little weight but then at 2084 lbs I could afford to add a few lbs to grab more HP.  But then 500 HP should cover that 20 lb weight gain ok.    Oh yes Porsche purists please avert you eyes.
