Its hard to base cars just on lap times alone. I mean if thats all you're going to do with it then go for the faster one but if not then its truly up to the driver to discern. I mean a Cayman S is as fast as a Carerra GT in the slalom. Thats crazy fast. However, put it on a straight against an M3 and it will eventually lose out.
IMO, its all about the feel of a car. I remember a couple of years ago car and driver or a similar magazine said a M coupe was a better car at 10/10's driving but the Caymen S was the better all around car and daily driver for all situations. This is probably why the 1M is winning and the Caymen R isn't. Its just entirely impratical for everyday driving. I mean you have a tether for a door handle... Do you want to deal with things like that everyday? No and BMW M cars are more for everyday driving with occasional track use rather than a dedicated "drive it like I stole it" track/weekend car. M reserves those cars for the CSL type variants.
