That was my point to 'BMW M Power Mexico', the chassis feels so planted that mountains more power is required to have real fun where as the 997 can do all that with only 30hp more such is the placement of it's weight, but that doesn't lessen the car's ability to corner and cope with difficult cambers and bumps mid-corner. No for what it is the Cayman S is the best handling drivers car this side of an R8 or GTR and no other German brand has quite matched it on this.

P.S.
If you get the chance to drive a new Mk2 make sure it's got the LSD because there is a lot more fun to be had if you put the work in. If you know what I mean.
