Just thinking realistically with the stats given for both.

With skidpad numbers of 0.99 (Motortrend), 0.97 (C&D), & 0.97 (R&T) it will be as fast and possibly faster around a track. The same goes for straight line performance--both cars will be within 4.7 - 5.0 secs to 60 between the various car mag reviews. I don't know about you, but I would be pissed off if I spent well over 60k for a Cayman S and be basically on par with the performance of a 30k sports car. And 60k for a Cayman S is the starting price--it can easily get into the 70k-80k range after Porsche options you to death--most of which you will want to have.
