Porsche Cayman

for some reason i was browsing the porsche website and came across the porsche cayman and all i can say is WOW. i mean, those lines on that car look just as good if not better than the 911 and its performance in terms of handling is up to par supposedly with the 911 also. for some reason, this car really captivates me. anyone else feel this way?

Yes, it's an awesome car, too bad porsche detuned it or it would run the 911 into the ground.

the Porsche was not tuned to be all it can be therefore it is a dissappointment. It should have been called the Boxster whatever and that been the end of it. Instead they created a car w/ the intention of it not being as good as the 911 to preserve the market for 911s. It never should have been made

I like the looks of it very much, thank you. As of performance... meh... it's still a Boxster. Porsche said it wouldn't do a more powerful version of the car such as to not compete with the Carrera

IF they make a Cayman GT, the 911 is in serious trouble.... but I doubt that will happen.

Anyway, people wanted another vehicle besides the 911/Boxster that isn't a truck, and so they brought out a new vehicle. Now people are complaining that it isn't a 911?!?!? I'd seriously like a more powerful version too, but we should all know our place... and Porsche knows exactly where the Cayman should be.

well everyone had better watch out once the aftermarket comes up with some sort of LSD for it.

The car actually bests the 911 on some tracks. Porsche doesn't like you to know that though...

I still like the GT2 and GT3's the best...

the new BMW Z4 M coupe will own the Porsche Cayman. it's faster by 48 hp if im not mistaken and power to weight ratio is better on the Z4 M coupe.

Wrong, the z4 will not outbeat the cayman. Cayman 2955lbs vs z4 M coupe 3300lbs. The Cayman is better at the track then the z4 cuz of mid-engine placement as opposed to front engine rear drive. Straight line the z4 will probably out power the cayman, as said the z has 333hp vs 295.

the only thing the Z4 M will be good at is burning tires. I can see it being another disappointing Z, like the Z8 was

I don't know about the next M car being dissapointing. The Z4 M will have a modified 6 from the M3, thats a great engine. The car is also set to compete up against MB's AMG, so, its gotta to be a great car.
