Re: Cayman weight data
That's not much, though I'm not even hearing that much from the US press; they're saying the same or more than the Boxster S. To offer something a substantially different, it should weigh at least 50-100 lbs less. To be honest, I was thinking about a Cayman, but once I heard about the weight I went with the 997S. The proof will be in the driving experience, but based on the specifications it doesn't sound like it will offer much more in the way of handling than the Boxster. Still, Porsche always seems to transcend objective data, and the Cayman may yet become the standard in terms of handling and steering.
Re: will Cayman S replace 997C2?
This is an interesting idea. I'm sold on the design and the concept is solid. I guess the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger is waiting on a thorough performance test. As we all know Porsche is consistently conservative when stating performance numbers. From what I can gather from weight, gearing, and engine hp/torque; this Cayman should be a high 4 second 0-60 car. Which would put it right in the base Carrera neighborhood (hard to justify the Carrera's higher cost). Can't wait to see how this shakes out.
