OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH nooooooooooo Cayman S and Carrera S are dead equal, the king is dead, long live the king.

 

Why no GT3?

 

hats off to the Vettes.

 

Maybe on the track but not on build quality. I wanted to love my Cayman, but that thing was so rattly, esp. compared to both of my 911s.

 

M3 quicker than the Carrera S?

 

But only one of them lost its roof half way around the track.

*sound of crowd going oooooooh hoooooooooooo

 

Hats off to the ACR. The new one is even quicker!

 

yeah buddy the vettes are takin it

 

That new Grand Sport is IMPRESSIVE.
