Have you driven any Cayman, a GTR, or any Vette Z06 to inform that opinion? Or are you just shopping by spec sheet without allowing for the possibility that the experience might make up for the horsepower/torque deficit? I don't have any seat time with any of these 3 cars, but somehow Porsche keeps managing to sell Caymans at their prices despite more powerful competition at the same price point, so that tells me there must be something there and therefore that I should probably refrain from proclamations like that until I actually have a basis for making them. Otherwise I'm just another armchair racer.
