The Porsche Cayman S attacks its larger brother 911 Carrera. How painful is the bite?

Family conflicts are always nice to read about.

Give me Carrera Anyday. Im not sold on the Cayman, I rather choose Z4M Coupe over Cayman so carrera for me.

I guess it's a tough choice. I learnt something though: That the 911 Carrera is nicknamed Baby Elfer.

I guess this is one of those moments where tossing a coin with a friend to see who gets what can only have a happy outcome. I'd take either. In a heartbeat, as long as I could choose the colour.

I`d go with the 911 Carrera, it`s the better car. This is like offering to choose between the SLK55 or SL55 I like both but I know the SL is just better!

Naah man, with the cayman and carrera its different. The Cayman offers better handling and the carrera offers more power. Therefore it is wrong to say that the Carrera is better.

Yes and no Luw, whilst I'll agree with you that the Cayman is probably the better handler and faster accelerating car of the two, I'd also say that the Carrera is the better car - as a matter of personal opinion - simply because it's a 911. Not logical, not even close but still, even Porsche would have us think this way. Oh, and the 911 is still prettier too!

What do you take me for Martin? Off course I prefer the 911 but still the Cayman also deserves some cred for its unique driving characteristics.
