Don't need to push a Cayman @ 10/10 to have fun. The forward visibility in the Cayman is about 10x better than that of 370z, 12x the Camaro (exaggeration, but you know what I mean).

Having that much more visual connection to the road front end's placement can add much to the driving experience too. Drove a TPC turbo'd Cayman briefly, although powerful, I was far infatuated by the heightened sense in everything else. Visual, how much lower and closer I felt to the road, engine sound (instead of exhaust sound).

Go test drive a Cayman. There are plenty of subjective measures that don't show on paper.

Good point. I should try to test drive one. If I buy something else, I'll never have an excuse then to at least drive a Porsche. I do remember liking the nice forward visibility from my old GTI I had many years ago, so I know what you're saying.
