Oh I meant any Cayman being better than any 911. So a Cayman Turbo would certainly be better than the base 911, especially since the Cayman S is already so close to the performance of the base 911.
I just think it would be weird for Porsche to have a Cayman Turbo AND a 961. Then again I never would have thought Porsche would have an SUV, and now they're going to have 2, not to mention 2 different 4/5 door models (at least) as well.

Yeah but the base 911 is till 3.8litre 400N/A HP which can sustain power longer through the revs with way more continuous torque than a 2.4 l4. the 911 would still be a sub 4 second to 60mph car while the porsche cayman would get 4.4 sec to 60 ONLY with the sport chrono package. Without it, specs sound like a 4.7 to 4.9 sprint. The 911 went through "They cayman is better from 2007-2012" anyway. Many felt though the cayman was slower, it was a truer sports car. Regardless, the 911 is still considered legendary.

Regardless of this turbo nonsense for the likes of Porsche and Toybaru. I want a turbo'd Z next generation. Where is the speculation at on that? Where are the "credible" online sources fleshing this story out? This is insanity! I demand answers

Cayman S has a 3.4L flat 6, 325HP, 0-60 4.7s
Base 911 has a 3.4L flat 6, 350HP, 0-60 4.6s
Torque curves are about the same, as well as same redline.

Sorry for derailing this thread!
