The Cayman S is right up their with the E92 M3. Nurbergring: Cayman S- 8:06 / E92 M3- 8:05. Laguna Seca: Cayman S: 1:43.00 / E92 M3: 1:42.97 / 370Z: 1:47.xx. VIR: Cayman S: 8:05.4 / E92 M3: 8:05.xx / 370z: 8:12. There's more that's just a sample.

The base 265hp Porsche Cayman post test track #'s closer to the 370Z. But of course that's where the comparison ends as the Porsche Cayman is leagues above in every conceivable area and it should be starting at ~ 52K. It goes far beyond just more "refinement" as well it's the whole experience behind the wheel rather daily driving or the track.

The Porsche Cayman is fundamentally Porsches best set-up car. The only thing keeping the 911 ahead #'s wise is power and perhaps a bit more attention here and there. There's a good reason for why the Porsche Cayman consistently rates among the best handling / driver's cars out there.

There's not a better car out there for 50-60K (base Cayman) if you value driving above all else IMO.
