The one thing I don't understand about the Cayman is: why would people want a Cayman S and not a Boxster S with the possibility to open the top?
Is the Cayman S much lighter than the Boxster S? I doubt it.
Is it more powerful? Well, 15 HP more isn't really a significant upgrade.
Is it faster on the track? The Boxster S is already a very refined car, I don't see much room for improvement.

So why the Cayman? Honestly, I don't know.

Because a fixed roof gives you a stiffer structure which allows the suspension to do it's job better. Weight is about the same but every magazine review I have read says that in terms of performance the Cayman S trumps the Boxster S.



Trumps is surely exaggerated, if you drive them back to back, you would think about that statement again, especially that the engines in MY07 will be the same. I really wonder what type of road can make the cayman TRUMP the boxster weight and HP equivalent, i.e. on chassis torsion alone
