I'm still laughing.

Both comparos prefer the Cayman because of its 'completeness'. The Top Gear reviewer was apparently afraid that he'd spin the mid-engine chassis. (Whaaaa?) Motor Trend hasn't been a serious, objective mag in at least a decade -- and it did zero actual testing of both cars (that piece is basically pre-production fluff) ...

... and Top Gear? The author did his own accel runs. Anecdotally. No controlled variables.

Still laughing. Call me biased (see my sig), but also call me a realist.

Finally: track times are worthless unless the same driver is driving the same car on the same day, back to back. See Randy Pobst's track oeuvre for a reference.
