Travis,

It sounds like Caymans are having problems with oil starvation with R Comps on, to the point where Porsche is saying they won't warranty the motor if you mount R Comps.

Are you worried about oil starvation with the Z? Any plans to go dry sump? I'm actually wondering if someone will come out with a baffled pan to help prevent starvation. I have a friend who burned up his 944 motor, likely because the suspension and tires were so serious.

I have to say, I'm impressed with the Corvette Grand Sport for just that reason. Dry sumps rock at the track.
