Just thinking realistically with the stats given for both.

Tue, BUT remember the MotorTrend time... 4.7. Everyone seems to count that out, but it is what it is.
Also, the 320 HP Cayman does not make or apply power any differently than the current Cayman S. It just KEEPS making power up to the higher redline. Thus the 0-60 times will not improve that much per the Motive review. Now, on the track, it may make a difference to the advantage of the Cayman (which is what I am more interested in). Guess we will find out next week.
When Nissan aimed to take down the 911s with the GTR, they had a MUCH larger budget and did not 'plan' to make profits on the GTR. With the Z, while they aimed to take down the Cayman, the budget was much less and they intended to make a profit on the Z. Thus, Nissan truly accomplished a HUGE feat if you compare the Z34 to the BMW Z4(M) or the Cayman. Well done Nissan!
