I like the video but did it really say anything at all??? Where's the comparison between the cayman R and rivals on film. A shootout on a track/street between an R and S would also be interesting

I do enjoy Jason very much, he is a huge porsche fan, but that review sucked.

True enough, they didn't say much; but I CAN say this.

Last week I drove the Cayman R, and a C4s, C2s, on a track, back to back; and HANDS DOWN, the Cayman R was the more fun car to drive, BY FAR.

The R felt faster in every respect, it handled like it was a go cart on rails; and the sound were glorious.

The 997's were amazing as well, so I do not want to take anything away from them; but they did feel like an M1 tank (I can say that, I was licensed to drive them, along with every armored vehicle in the American and Russian invetory's

). Outside of straight line acceleration, the R was the more exciting car.

For that matter... I also drove the Boxster Spyder, and it was more exciting on the tight stuff....

But I'll make a separate post on the subject...
