I've been waiting/hoping to see or run across one of these myself. It should be a decent race against a stock or lid/exhaust LS1, but much beyond stock LS1 should win fairly easily.

don't worry about the "s" worry about the "turbo". i tried to chase one down a while ago, he was driving like a madman through traffic/ breaking the speed limit by like 40mph to show off. i stayed back but close enough in hopes of catching a light and then he turned off. i did notice the 30-day non-resident paper in his back window and never saw the vehicle/person again.
i will say while he was ripping on it black smoke came out of the exhaust and the suv took the *** off!

My uncle got one; he said something about a waiting list for you. Should be a decent race for a stock LS1 with a pretty distinct advantage for an LS1. But it will handily destroy an LS1, perhaps even the C5 Z06 around a race track.

Lol, not a chance it could compete with a Z06 around a road course.
The new 911 Tubro is said to just barely edge out a C6Z06 around the 'Ring...
A CaymanS MIGHT be a good race for a stock C6 around a road course, and even that is a big maybe with 100+ less HP.

My Cayman S "schooling" I got a "one gear race" with one on the way to my fiance's house. Very long 4-lane stretch in a nice part of town (45mph zone). It was an early 40's lady driving with her husband as passenger.
I was in my 420 rwhp Firehawk because it was a nice day out. We were both 1st in line side by side waiting for the light.
I kept looking over at them, but they wouldn't look back at me. I didn't want to be childish and rev my engine, I'm sure they heard the lope anyway.
We both pull off easily through 1st gear, still no bite... I shift in second still staying right in line with her... holding 2nd gear a lil' past where I normally shift while cruising and THANK GOD she punches it!!!
I immediately floor it and my tires break loose, but I'm still about to fly right past her. At the end of second I powershift 3rd gear.(tires break traction for maybe 6 feet in 3rd)... I'm leaving her pretty bad, staring in my mirror I can tell about halfway into 3rd she lets off. There was about 3+ cars between us and it was going to get worse from there.
That was my 1st time seeing a Cayman in person and it was.... good.

Again, we are talking about a CAYMAN...not the Cayenne, which is an SUV. The Cayman is a fixed roof version of the Boxster with 285hp I believe. A very fast car.
