The weight and size of the Cayman is what is so appealing to me, even though it is just behind the M4 on performance.
So now we're quoting performance on two cars that aren't even out yet? It may be slower in a straight given the 100 less hp, but on a track I'm sure it will be faster and more rewarding to drive. Really very different cars altogether. Nothing less than a GTx Porsche, or some hyper cars will handle as well as a Cayman/Boxster model of any kind.

I do agree they should have done more than they did as least as far as hp goes…this car with 360+ hp would be just right without encroaching on the 991S too much.
