a regular porche such as the cayman, boxter, 911 are just like a 3 series to an m3. Huge different IMO. None of them look right until you move up higher to a turbo, gt3/rs, gt2.

there is a saying "the cayman is for those that can't afford a turbo/gt3". It must be there for a reason.
Do I detect a bit of jealousy? Sure does sound that way, because it's usually the comments I got when I use to drive a Boxster S and those comments were usually from people driving a Mercedes C180 or BMW 316i, clearly those people have progressed up the ladder.

I'm not totally in disagreement with your comments because like everything you do get what you pay for in most cases, but with Porsche it's usually extra performance and not necessarily better handling because the Cayman is probably Porsche's second best handling product after the GT3. Which basically means that if given similar amounts of power it would wipe the floor with an M3, just as is the case with the GT3.
