1/4 mile time/0-60mph - Cayman S

[K Man S]

I doubt many are that interested in the Cayman S's 1/4 time as there's more important things that matter during the Porsche driving experience, HOWEVER , a friend of mine has recently bought a Performance Box from Race Logic and i managed an 11.3 seconds (and a 5.2 to 60mph) which i thought was very respectable. He did 10.4 (and 4.8) in his Z4M. These data machines are accurate to millionths of seconds so i guess you can't argue with the data (a flat road as well by the way and with a passenger (we'd also both just had a curry lol) ). Anyone else managed to time their pride and joy?

11.3 secs quarter seems a bit fast for a cayman more like tt teritory or am i wrong.

[longbow]

Not a chance!! 11.3 is like McLaren F1 territory

More like about 13.5 - 14.0 seconds for a Cayman S or similar

2004 Porsche Carrera GT 11.12 @ 133.4

Are you sure it was quarter mile and not 0-100mph?

[SunDiver]

Unrealistic for 1/4 mile unless it's heavily modified or it was significantly downhill. 13.X would be the real figure on a good day with a good driver for a genuine level 1/4 mile. 0-60 time is plausible if all goes well...

[Ultra Violent]

10.4 in a Z4M. Er, no.

[Bumcrack]

Porsches official figure for the Cayman S from zero to hundred is 11.5 seconds, so it’s more likely your friend meant 0-100 rather than 1/4 mile

Hi

I think hes set up the Race logic box incorrectly...

To give a comparison...10 secs dead on the quarter @ 147 mph....= Veyron..

My 928 On Nitrous needs over 800 hp to get into the 10s or 11s....

All the best Brett

Was flicking through an old autocar and they clocked 0-100 in 11 secs. Thet're usually pretty accurate and use similar equipment to test. Defo 0-100 though and not 1/4 mile .... sorry.

[hartech]

The tester must have been set up wrong.

We have a technician with a 1.4 Renault Turbo sprinter - huge turbo and intercooler, Nitros injection, special tyres etc and it does 11.9 and 120mph for the quarter (one of the fastest ever) but he says that is about as quick as the best GT3's and quicker than any 911 turbo he has come accross.

Many on car testers will also give a false reading if the tyres spin as they often read the increase in wheel speed as acceleration and cannot sense the spin (although I don't know how this particular one works).

0-60 in 5.2 seconds and you believe it did a 1/4 mile in 11?
You'll be lucky to see high 12's at between 105 and 110 trap speed, never mind low 11's in a standard
Cayman S.

But Turbo's are faster than GT3's......

[Dave 500]

Cayman S will be mid to high 13's can't see it getting into the 12's

[996TT_STEVO]

LMFAO

I clocked 11.6 sec and trapped at 128mph and the Cayman can match that, mmmmmm, NOT!

Think it will be 0 to 100 for sure, This was my figures and Data File verified!

Best 0-60 was 3.6 sec | Best 0-100 was 7.5 sec | Best 1/4 Mile was 11.6 sec | Best 60-130 was 8.3 sec (this is kick down from 50mph)

Hi Steve,

Is that standard 996 TT times? Seems very quick.

And do you know what my C4S times would be? My old Evo,Autocar and Top Gear magazines seem to differ?

Cayman S official time is 13.6s. (14.1) for standing 1/4 mile and 0-160km/h is 11.7 (13.5).

As far as I understand it, the performance box samples at 10Hz - ie 10 times a second. Thus can't realistically be any more accurate that 0.1 of a second.

[flatfour]

With a 10 Hz sample, best accuracy would be 1/2 sample rate at 0.2 Seconds assuming a perfect measurement.Allowing for device accuracy of 1 measurement, I would not expect greater than +/- 0.4 Seconds accuracy overall.

No that is not stock times.
