Cayman Posibilities
I personally think this car looks really good from every angle that I look at it. But what I'm trying to discuss here is the possibilities that this car will offer as a performance point of view.
This car already sports the 3.4 engine which could be possibly the same reworked engine from the first series 911 (996 MK I). With variocam plus, this car can easily out perform the 911 996 series at least MK I; 997 Carrera is questionable and it will fall short for sure.
However with this engine at the disposal of Tunners such as RUF and all others you can see the viable options Cayman will offer to end users.
Even though some of us think that Cayman was a mistake to be placed between 911 and Boxster, I believe it will generate customers from both ends some Boxster owners and some 911 owners.
I think in long run this car will position itself as one of the viable benchmarks for other manufacturer as all others compare their cars to 911 they'll be others that will compare their flagship cars to Cayman.
Any comments?
