as good as both these cars are I think this was an unfair comparison. however, the R designation for this cayman is a bit over the top and somewhat a disingenuous marketing ploy by porsche. this car only has 9 more hp than the S and weight in at 100 lbs less. so overall not that much of an improvement over the S and certainly not worthy of the R moniker. having said that, the cayman S is a fabulous driving machine but I think a 1M would definitely keep pace around the track. now factor in the cost and I think what this article concluded is not that far fetched. I just wish they had compared it to an S rather to an R, even though this R is really not a genuine R.
