The Porsche Boxster and Cayman are almost as perfect as roadgoing sports cars get. They are the right size, the right shape, they handle brilliantly and they are very quick. But what if you wanted to take one to the extreme? Starting with the Cayman GT4 or Boxster/718 Spyder, DeMan Motorsports of Blauvelt, NY offers a monster of an engine upgrade - a high-compression, 4.5L, naturally aspirated, track-ready beast. Starting with the car's standard 4.0L, 414-hp engine, the finished product makes 565 HP and 440 lb/ft of torque. To that, DeMan fits a close-ratio gear set for the six-speed manual transmission. First and sixth gear are left stock, while second through fifth ratios are shortened for better response and more fun. If the car had any shortcomings from the factory, these two (admittedly major) modifications fix them, and then some. As soon as I tried DeMan's demonstrator vehicle, I was hooked, and decided that it was the best sports car of all time, and I had to have one. Nearly 20 months later, I finally do. Zack and I take our first post-break in drive up a cold, damp canyon together and make the engine sing.

The manual needs regeared. Ratios are just too tall.

@RadDadisRad Жыл бұрын

@@GreatMotors I have a 718 GTS. You should not be doing 90mph in the top of 2nd. Shark Werks fixed it by regearing the transmission. It’s just a shame the factory gearing is tall for the turbo 4 cylinder cars to make best use of the torque curve and not the top end on the NA cars. I also have a 986 Boxster S with a M96 swap, not as fast but definitely lots of fun.

@GreatMotors Жыл бұрын

@@RadDadisRad the box works perfectly on track. Allows you to explore the elasticity of the motor why not having to switch gears multiple times between turns. I've 981 GT4, had a 718 Spyder, have a 991.2 3RS. If that brings more weight to my word.

@RadDadisRad Жыл бұрын

@@GreatMotors I hear what you’re saying. The car is sluggish and hard to jockey through the track with the stock gearbox, you try to carry too much speed through turns. That’s my experience along with others. The cars legs are too long in stock form and you don’t pick up speed quick enough and then find yourself either too low in 3rd gear or too high in 2nd gear to actually have fun. I rarely clicked into 4th and when I did it was for a split second. Mid 140s for sports car with 400hp should be 5th gear not the shift change from 3rd to 4th. My gearbox is great now. If it was a turbo car I’d probably agree with you but since it’s not a turbo car I can’t agree.

Congratulations Matt! In my own selfish way, I like to think that I had a small part in changing your thinking and sharing my love for different Porsches with you in the smoking tire one takes we did together many years ago. Especially with my 3.4 liter conversion Boxster we did back in 2015 on this exact same road is where I feel you gained a lot of respect for the Boxster. It's great to see you embrace the Boxster and modify it to God Mode, even though you could have easily purchased a GT3 for the similar money. Very happy for you and all your success. Amazing ride! Just a note to viewers. This road is at an elevation of 5000-6000 feet which naturally aspirated engines take about a 15% hit on power. So you would be down close to 100 horses and it's still super fast!

The calipers need to be painted black actually. It is an OEM PCCB caliper colour (together with yellow). But what I wanted to highlight is how thoughtful the paint scheme of the whole car is. Car paint = f(red, gold). Then you have gold (champagne) wheels and red calipers, as if you have deconstructed tha paint of the car into its two distinct base colours.
