The AMS test was not very helpful. In fact its a rather misleading comparison and something they should be ashamed of publishing. Porsche has posited that the Cayman is one their sportiest handling cars while a stock suspension 997 is certainly not.

Better would have been to compare a PCCB equipped Cayman S against a base 997 Carrera equipped with the optional Sport Suspension and LSD ..or at least PCCB that removes some unsprung weight and makes for crisper turn in.

The 997 suspension is soft, the Cayman S suspension is not. End of story. A useless, almost Motor Trend like comparo by AMS. Shame on them.
