The Cayman is going to be easier to drive fast, not to mention the BRAKES are actually going to hold up for more than two laps. Also it has a real LSD. It comes with a better suspension setup too, one that is adjustable. More than likely better tires as well. Its not just the porsche brand name that makes it worth twice as much as the base Z.
The Z's brakes have been noted to be better than the Cayman S's, unless you pay the almost 10k for the carbon ceramic; and they will last all day long so say the reviews. Your comment sounds like the comments that the Porsche guys were saying about the GT-R and look what it did on the track against the 'Porsche pedigree'. Oh and the 911 is twice as much as the GT-R also.

I still predict the Z will come very close on the track. I will recant if I am wrong.

Noted to be better for stopping a few times from 60. They dont last more than a few laps on a track because the pads get cooked. They are Akebono's not Porsche brakes.

My comments sound like someone who looks at facts and has seen more than a few trackdays.

Also, FYI, the 911 line starts a few grand under the MSRP of the GT-R. The Turbo is around 140k. Then the GT3 RS is around 160k, which would be twice as much as a GT-R.

Also careful hehe, I've been on the track in every car we're talking about... this is my STI along with my friends at the last few track events... I took PLENTY of laps in the GT-R and the GT3. I can tell you that the GT-R is MUCH faster than all those cars I mentioned except for the 997 GT2. The GT-R is absurdly fast..




997 GT2, 996 Carrera, CLK Black Edition, Nissan GT-R, 08 STI Full race, Off camera 997 Turbo, Twin Turbo full race 350Z, 997 GT3

Let this be a friendly discussion too, I mean no harm
