Great info, thanks.

I don't think the power loss is significant going from 400 cell to 600 cell cats since going from 400 cell cats to 100 cell cats on headers gained about 8hp on the dyno at the rear wheels a change of the cat cells only might be good for what 1 or 2 HP max? Even if it were 5hp different most people probably couldn't feel that, I suspect no one could feel 1 or 2HP changes.

Personally, I need 50HP before I can feel the difference... dense butt dyno

In other words, fat butt!

here's a start...

2006 Lotus Exige, 2006 Porsche Cayman S - Comparison Tests - Car and Driver

add ~28 HP and I think the ES will blow the CS out...Just a much lighter car.

As far as comfort, the Cayman blows away the Exige. It's a tough car to get in and out of!

I got stuck inside an Elise, 6'3"...if I were 5'5 i would consider the Exige S, but very uncomfortable!

Elise:

Light crash the front & rear clamshells = $25,000. No exaggeration.
