7.58 lap in October :-)
The OP asked whether the Cayman S drives better. I took that as an open invitation since it does in fact. Read it again. Did he not express he didn't need rear seats too?
Nonetheless I'm SO happy to prove you wrong!! The 7:44 lap was a factory modified base 991 with PDCC (not offered on the base 991) and front 997 GT3 brake calipers and 350mm turbo rear discs. Found the dialogue from Dag Johnsen himself. He states his official lap of 8:02.5 is the "reference", but still wants to push to break 8 minutes. AND the 7:44 he performed wasn't the whole lap by Sport Auto standards. It's the lap mere mortals pay to drive, but the Sport Auto standard lap is where the nordschleife meets the newer F1 ring, and it's a complete lap with zero gap.
Since you guys have to have proof, here you go... (you need to view through Youtube to see Dag's dialogue about the lap, and his modified base 991)

Get your facts straight before you accuse people of things.

You might enjoy this video with a lot of trackside shots and my car with Gulf colors taped on it. Still Base Carrera C2 with standard tires.
The 7.58,2 lap was not filmed (Full iPhone memory) But I did film this lap that equals 7.59,5 speed
And this is how it looks inside the car:

OP you received some great responses. There is nothing like a 911.
I've owned a Boxster and a 911TT.
Don't discount the Boxster/Cayman. They are incredible cars. You can have tons of fun with them both around town and on the track.
My suggestion is drive a 911 and a Cayman (assuming you want a roof). What do you like best? Manual vs PDK? City driving no question. PDK
