Nice review. Sweet track pic. Too bad they didn't get a bit higher of an aerial shot, just to get it all in.

I considered the Cayman myself. It's surely a handling car.
On tight tracks, power is not king, handling is.
My chipped 335i is much more powerful than a Lotus Elise or Exige, but I will tell you this, when I met up with a few at a private mountain road drive, I could not keep up with the one in front of me, or shake the one behind me and I was driving the 335i at pretty much the limit. Anything more and I was cliff bound.
On the straights I'd pull many car lengths on them, but on the corners a total different story.

The Cayman S I'm sure is even better. More power and speed than the Lotus, equal handling.
It has a great combination of power, speed and handling.
It could surely use 30-50 hp more, but then who'd buy the 911?
