Spotted a strange Porsche Cayman today (pic)

Normally I wouldn't bat an eye at a cayman, but this one was totally tricked out, and it appeared to all be factory stuff, like wide rear end, tall spoiler with color matched mirrors (red wing, mirrors, and aero bits), black BBS wheels that were wide as hell and loud exhaust (louder then my STi with catback).

Just curious to see what kind of car it was... The lic plate said 986 RS or something like that.






Sorry for the bad quality photo, camera phone. Car was spotted this morning at like 10:30 at McDonalds on Mission BLVD off 680 in fremont. White dude in his early 30s driving.

I heard their is motor company that modifies cayman exclusively. They drop carrera turbo engine into cayman + exhaust + tune + and change front bumper to carrera. Cayman being lighter, with such modes it becomes more responsive and faster than carrera turbo.

Even an LSD would be a good addition. But a built 3.8L TT? Mmmmm...

not to mention mid engine vs. the carrera/911 rear engine.
