Stillen Supercharged Article - R & T

Nice article. However, it makes me a lot LESS interested in scraping together $6300 + installation charges to get the SC kit. 0-60 in 4.5s and 12.8s 113mph 1/4 mi?

Nice article. However, it makes me a lot LESS interested in scraping together $6300 + installation charges to get the SC kit. 0-60 in 4.5s and 12.8s 113mph 1/4 mi? Not as impressive as I was expecting (although maybe I'm being unrealistic). The 1/4mi was my major disappointment...that's a marginal gain over the stock 370's time.

For the price of the kit and install along with all the other bolt-ons as well as the headache if you have problems, you should just buy a Cayman S.

Total is $8K dealer installed plus your powertrain warranty is voided, however the work is warranty for 1 yr.

My concern as well. I'll probably FI after my factory warranty wears off.
