> [@fiend540](#): > > For what this must cost why not upgrade to something like a gt3? because when you can afford this you get what you want, not what is most cost effective. the mid engine layout of the cayman is considered a better car than any of the 911 family, but lacking in power. follow link for more details, you guys know as much as I do. ---

ugh soooo hottt And what makes you think a GT3 is better than a modded Cayman? The Cayman S is hotter physically than a GT3 imo and it handles about the same. ^ what theblue said. ---

It’s rumored that Porsche held back on the Cayman so as to not usurp the 911 crown. ---

As much as I hate most of your posts your some what right. I don’t think the chassis is better than the gt3 but that the chassis layout is better than the gt3’s. I like the looks of it a lot and more so then a lot of other Porsche. When money is no issue I would rather have a full race than a full race gt3. A gt3 is pretty much already full race, where is the fun in that. Well I love them both and that car is sick.
