But there a fair bit cheaper, get a mondeo for the boring stuff.
1.5 mondeo's is better than 1 beetle.

I always here this but do you need more power on the road? My response is "you can never have enough power"
My Mustang was a perfect example, I could use all of its near 600BHP on the road and absolutely loved doing so.
Yes I will agree that when I drove the Cayman S it did not feel like it was gonna kill me, it was very sure footed and very quick on steering but it just lacked go, it was the 303BHP version, so was before the newer 2009 model which got 320BHP and LSD.
To make a Cayman S keep with a 911 its gotta be the PDK version with 320BHP and then you might just stand a chance if the 911 Gen1 driver fluffs up a gear change.
I do like power in my cars, there is no better feeling than selecting 3rd or 4th and just going wide open throttle and experience good acceleration and this is an area the 911 just kicks the Cayman ass.
However I have looked at tuning and Cayman can be taken upto 350ish BHP without spending a fortune and I'd say at those kind of power levels it won't hang around, add a PDK version into it and you should have a Cayman that can beat a stock 911 C4S.
But the C2S is quicker again, they have been know to gallop to 100mph in as quick as 9.6s and do the quarter mile in 12.3s
I like the Cayman but I just think the lack of grunt would get to me, I need to be as close to 400 horses as I can, not further away. But I shall give a Cayman S a test drive to see how the new 2009 car drives, might even try the PDK version.

Might be a bit late but here is what can be done in a Gen 2 Cayman.
The driver hits a straight-line performance wall in the end, you will have to guess what boss car lies in wait at the front of the Porsche pack

That's Curly in his Cayman S, had a CSL before. 3Wheels who did the video has a CSL and drives it pretty much as quick............on hand controls!!
Is he a very good driver or something, seems to be trouncing some much more special cars, and if so, why is he driving an auto?!
