Why would I knock you for having a home? You live in Missouri, I feel bad enough as is no need to pile on. By the way, that is sarcasm, as everything has been. Toyota builds solid, reliable, cars. Wish I bought a Tacoma instead of my Frontier. I am not sure why I seem blind by stating the facts about the Cayman. I do have a Porsche in the garage, I am not a BMW zealot. I appreciate the offer for the pics, maybe later, as I am still aroused by the pics of the Cayman you posted. That was more sarcasm by the way. |

I'm glad we're both enjoying ourselves. I hope to have an M3 and a Porsche in my garage one day... and a truck. I mean, I do live in Missouri. (I was an East Coaster until last year, if that's any consolation. )

I was looking at the cayman S before just getting the M3 ... cayman S is a sweet looking car, but lacks balls. I agree that the M3 is a better overall package. However, I'll get a CS in a couple years if they beef it up.

How many victories does Porsche have using the Cayman? Oh, that's right... How many victories does the Cayman have in comparison to the M3? Oh, that's right... Stop with this Porsche racing history and mentioning your Cayman. I might as well start talking about Porsche racing history in correlation with the Cayenne. BMW has not campaigned a factory team since the nonsense of not letting them compete and Porsche's bellyaching about losing. The last time Porsche won in the GT1 or GT2 class was in 05. Since then, the F430 came out and Ferrari has been walking Porsche all over the track, HARD. When the M3 GTR was allowed to compete, it won, pure and simple. So you are 18? A lot of years driving Porsches on the racetrack under your belt I see. I really don't understand why you even keep bringing up your cayman and this and that about Porsche. Porsche has a rear engine car getting beat by a 3900 pound Nissan and a so called mid engine sports car being watered down to not run around the 911. I really don't see the Cayman and the M3 as apples to apples. Plus, the M3 has the better tranny, motor, and daily useability. The Cayman has yet to lap faster than the M3 CSL, and that car came out when? |

Buddy, if you are talking about the track wouldn't it make sense to compare the Cayman to BMW's track car (the CSL)?
Porsche BETTER have 8 cars that lap the ring under 8 min. Probably more if you start taking every variant into account, C4S, C4S Targa, C4S Cab, if you really want to play that game. It does not surprise me BMW does not have X6's, 650i's, X5's, Z4's, 328's, 128's, etc. lapping under 8 minutes as they have a much more diverse production lineup. I can't wait to see how the Panamera stacks up to the M5. We basically know it is going to be using the Cayenne powertrain and transmisisons, if so, it is all about profit not about racing heritage or heart. M cars are special, they don't throw any motor or suspension in them. You won't see an M3 motor in everything else, M is not AMG. I would hope the GT3 embarrasses the CSL, more power, less weight, and only a couple seconds on the Ring. What is more impressive, how close the BMW is with an older chassis and motor for less money, or how far ahead the GT3 is? |

As far as the M3 never matching the 996 GT3 you need to brush up on your ring times: 7:42 --- Porsche 997/ GT3 (05/2006) 7:50 --- BMW E46 M3 CSL (08/2003) 7:54 --- Porsche GT3 (996) (2003) 7:56 --- Porsche 996 Turbo (2000) 8:02 --- Porsche 997 Carrera S, PASM setting “Sport”, (Walter Röhrl WHEELS 06/ 2004) 8:03 --- 153.540 km/h -- Porsche 911 GT3, 360 PS/1391 kg (sport auto 08/1999) The CSL not only matched the 996 GT3, it beat both the Mk1 and Mk2. Well whatever, I'm tired of tutoring you. Just messing around, enjoy your car. |

BMW turns a good time and it is an anomaly. BMW managed a 7:50 with an X5 chassis, it is obvious they are capable of whatever goal they set. I suppose the supercharged CSL running 7:22.8 is an anomaly as well, faster than... well almost everything. |

The sad truth is that both companies are manufacturing their cars for profit, and if they can make the same profit with less effort, they're going to. Obviously, Porsche is happy with where the Cayman is in their lineup, or they would have changed it by now.
Hopefully the Cayman sees the same upgrades the 911 just received. |

Having driven the Cayman, and owning an M3, the cayman, in my opinion if more of a business venture for the company. That's not to say that it isn't wonderfully designed and incessantly tuned. Unfortunately, most M3 owners when they signed on theyre e90/92, also seemed to have signed a contract to hate on all 65-85k sports cars that aren't an M3. Regardless it's best to remain unbias simply because of ownership. They're both phenomenal machines, though the M3 delivers far more of what I am looking for in accordance to that kind of money.

Believe it or not I spend more time in the 3. I've never driven a car that is that well-balanced for that price. The 6 is a beast, and rightfully so for 110+, not to mention I went halves on it with my brother so he spends his share in it as well. But in all honest at most times if the 6 and 3 are in the garage, ill take the 3 out.
Unless of course.. I'm off to the track, or there are females involved.
