I know it's early, but any thoughts out there on how to get more out of the
upcoming Cayman S? Turbo maybe?

VF engineering makes a supercharger kit for 3.4 litre powered 996s that
boosts power output to over 400Hp. Obviously some amount of re-tooling
is going to be neccesary because of the placment differences between
the rear engined 911 and mid-engined Caymen, but I have a feeling that
kit would fit with minimal alteration. And I'm sure RUF will have an
up-tuned version and I wouldn't be surprised if some sort of factory
powerkit became avaliable.

Not that I have anything against Lotus, they're great fun cars but, they say
about Porsche:
The only time you'll need to go to the repair shop is to have it serviced or
have the key-scratches removed after some onlooker damaged it out of sheer
envy! :))

I suspect the Toyota-based drivetrain is going to resolve any
concerns about reliability.
