Good bye Evo... Hello Cayman GT4.

My car was on E85 and had KW Coilovers on 12/14k springs. It was extremely uncomfortable for me on the street and the lack of E85 stations made daily driving the Evo almost impossible.
She was Motor #3 for me. HTA 76 Green (BB), Kelford 272 Cams, Built Head, Wavetrac LSD, Built Shep Transmission, Wier 12 Plate Rear Diff, H&R Sway Bars) Made 415awhp on the KT Motoring Dyno Dynamics Dyno.
The Evo was no slouch... She was a ton of fun and an overall blast. Just felt it was time to move on... Getting older and my ownership experience in the last year with the evo soured.

Nice spec,
Perhaps a few tweeks would have improved the experience significantly:
FP Green as any stock frame presents a lot of back pressure, an FP Red would help at this power level - while HTA3076 full frame (or EFR) would really benefit reliability and track performance.
KW 12/14 is sadly not what most think of as dual purpose setup.
Ohlins on 10/12kg
Or JRZ, or MSA, MSC, Penske, if budget permits
Would give at least as much chassis performance with night-n-day improvement in comfort.
Lastly I suspect your engines suffered various degrees of oil surge: no way to solve that with stock pan and on Hoosier you really need all the solutions such as RaceFab pan.
Well, enjoy the honeymoon and I hope to join you in the experience soon.

With that said i also plan on tracking the GT4 and seeing how she stacks up to my times at Buttonwillow with the Evo.

Newbie
You sir have the monies. If i was was looking for a new car in that range I probably would have picked the same car. Those pictures you posted are so crisp that they almost look fake
