the S has 315hp and 266tq. That is for a 60k car. No thanks, do not want. Don't care how well it handles or how balanced it is or etc. A 60k sports car should have more than 315hp. That is all.

I agree to an extent, however we really need to look at the hp to weight ratio. the '13 cayman should be a pretty light car, much quicker than the Z, even at 15hp less.

the new NSX is going to be at least $120k and it only has ~450hp.... thats the same as a 5.0 mustang.

Well the current Cayman S makes 320hp and 273 torque at a weight of 29XX. Currently runs 12.9-13.1. So unless the next gen Cayman gets significant weight reduction 315hp and 266 torque aren't going to do much to improve it's current performance.

Porsche has been putting its entire line on a diet. The biggest additions other than appearance for the new cayman is supposed to be in the weight department.

I'm thinking 2750lbs for the S model.

I agree. The cayman is very close to the Z performance wise and the price difference does not justify it. Imo
, i think the rear end of it
is horrible looking. The 2013 looks much better though...
