THE
JOURNEY TO PERSONALIZE MY CAR BEGAN IMMEDIATELY. I STARTED WITH POWDER COATING
THE WHEELS TO A SLICK GLOSS BLACK FINISH FOR AN AGGRESSIVE LOOK.
its job. With in a couple of months, I grew through the ranks of the HPDE program. I am currently hoping to graduate to HPDE4 or even attend competition school in the future.
I have not forgotten about the Cayman. I am planning to lower the car on Ohlin coilovers, increase the horsepower with IPD’s throttle body/plenum kit, a high flow air intake, headers, and a tuneup. Then I intend to tighten up the shift throw with a Numeric Racing short shifter kit, and stylize the car further by adding a more aggressive front lip, side decals, paint accents, and a ducktail spoiler reminiscent of classic 911s. This will definitely enhance the aggressive features of the Cayman S and place it in serious contention with the newer generation 987.2 Cayman R.
I plan for the Cayman to be just the start in my journey with Porsches. There is no telling what future years will provide for me or where my ownership will take me. But there is one thing for sure: now that I am obsessed with Porsche, there is no way that I will ever lose the love of mastering twisty roads or hearing the sound of a flat six at 7,000 RPM.

I first saw John’s Cayman as he and
his father, Bill, were coming out of my neighborhood. It turned out, we were all headed to the KCRPCA breakfast. I sat with them and chatted
about cars, racing, and Porsche. John and his father will have many fun adventures ahead of them.
