Base Carrera versus Cayman S Video

From Japan...maybe we could get a bit of a translation regarding their general impressions.

My Japanese is not very good; but, I think the 911 driver said this is nice, but, it still not a GT-R.

Re: Base Carrera versus Cayman S Video

Expected results. Though the Cayman may have an equal or better power to weight ratio, the Carrera has a gearing advantage that helps its 200cc larger engine show off. Drop the same gears in the Cayman and that 0-400 meter dash would end differently.

Re: Base Carrera versus Cayman S Video

My Japanese is pretty good, in the end they said: Although the 911 is a bit faster, the Cayman S with it's mid engine and superior handling outshines the 911 in every way.
