I drove a Cayman S @ Mosport last year and was quite underwelmed by the lack of power.Yes it was quite viceless in the handling but it really needed about 100 more horsepower to be real fun.The other problem that a properly equipped Cayman S in Canada is about $20000 more than a M3 equipped somewhat the same.
