    Here is an interesting article about the Aston Martin R-GT: http://blackflag.jalopnik.com/maniac...car-1681820324

    Looks like they already obtained the FIA passport. So we will hopefully see it soon in a FIA rally. Otherwise it wouldn't make much sense to go through all the troubles to get a passport.

    The sound is great. The corner not so much.

    Has anyone tried to get a Cayman approved?
    should think it is a bit more nimble than the 911, or it it too short?

    We had a Cayman in some Belgian Rallies, some years ago. The 911 was faster and had better sound.

    Properly built Cayman shall be faster than 911 for the reason that it has much better weight distribution.

    Theoretically, yes. That said, I haven't heard of many racing series featuring Caymans/Boxsters, while private racing 911s are well documented and are very well supported by Porsche. It would therefore easier to acquire racing-specific parts for racing 911s than it would be for Caymans, no?

    So logistically, I can see a "properly built Cayman" being more difficult to come by than a modified 911 GT3 Cup.

    But you're definitely correct about the weight distribution, which is the reason why RUF uses a Cayman as the chassis basis for their top-of-the-line CTR 3 rather than the 911.
    His brawling style earned him a reputation as the meanest man in boxing. He is said to have knocked out a woman ... and a horse ... EACH, with one punch.
