The Cayman might not be the fastest car, but its very competitive in its class

Audi TT-S = 265hp
BMW Z4 = 255hp
MB SLK350 - 300hp
Corvette = 430hp
Lotus Elise = 190hp

All of those, except for the Elise, weigh more, and the only one that is also rear mid engined is the Elise also. The Elise is a very niche vehicle due to its pure and raw nature, so in a way, the Cayman is in a sort of class of its own. It's the only rear mid-engined sports car in that price range that carries the same refinement and usability as a BMW or Audi.
10 g,s is nuttin but try to find a stripped s...when i looked and road tested i couldnt wait to get back to the dealer with the s...road like a truck [imho] i wanted an s with auto tranny and no more options. the 3 dealers i went to had all high optioned cars...i didnt want all that crap...i mean how much lip stick yo gonna put on a pig...one s had a sticked in the 90,s...ninja pleeezzz...kinda sad when a 50k chevy will hand you your hat
