Essentially, it felt like the M3 down low, but without the upper end fireworks of the M3.
The key to the Cayman S is it's low weight, low center of gravity, and mid-engine design. The key to M3 is it's engine. Too bad it is straddled with complicated electronics and excessive weight. Same goes for the CTS-V
