Mercedes SLK 350 and Nissan Z350. These are the cars Porsche is "officially" targeting with the Cayman S. Just for your information...believe it or not.

I don't understand at all. The 350Z is nearly half the price of the Cayman here. The SLK 350 is Pounds10k less.
I would have thought a more accurate competition would be the SLK 55 AMG and the BMW M3.

Like I said, guys: performance, not money. The SLK 55 AMG is more than two seconds faster from 0-125 mph, the 0-60 mph performance is much better too. The M3 is also a different beast and the new upcoming Z4 M should easily outrun the Cayman S on the straight line.
Like I said: the cars for comparison were the SLK 350, the Z350 and, and, for a certain reason, the 997 C4S Cab .

RC, these last words make me think you may have forgotten to specify if it is about a magazine comparaison test, and if it is the case, to give its name

Although they are not my cup of tea (and I suspect most others in this forum), I would have thought TVR was also a rival for those considering the Cayman as a second car.

How the Cayman S compares with the 997 remains to be seen - later this month.

I think we are getting more posts/comments saying 'dont believe the hype' than actual hype. Get over it, most people here know what the Cayman is.. the hype and the people believing in it are mainly in your imagination!
