I was always hoping I could take the Cayenne. Not sure if I could walk on all the trim models - Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo, Cayenne Turbo S, but I would hope so! I would love a heads-up run down a drag strip just to know for sure.

I have to believe an FX50S would be close but not a winner. Again - just need a good match up to know for sure. Will absolutely get a timeslip just so I know what I can put down. I'm guessing 12s...

The FX35 is a full 1000 lbs lighter than the first gen turbo Cayenne at 5200 lbs. 400 wheel horse power in the FX vs. 450 brake horse power in the turbo Cayenne. The 2nd gen Cayenne is 4800 lbs and has 500 brake horse power vs. 400whp in the FX at 4150 lbs.

The first gen Cayenne is easily had. The 2nd gen will be too close to call. The FX50s would not take the 2nd gen Cayenne but it would probably take the first gen.
