Default Drag Race - Porsche Cayman GTS vs Alfa Romeo 4C



from the article:
The lightweight Alfa Romeo 4C up against the focused Porsche Cayman GTS. The Cayman has more power and torque, but is also heavier.

What's the point? A more realistic comparison would be to the base Cayman.

Even better would be on a real track, with corners and all the fancy stuff. Neither car excels at straight line speed. They were both designed for actual driving.

I still think it's valid, as it shows the Cayman is quicker than people seem to think. The Alfa has a great power to weight ratio, after all. The Cayman has been criticized for a paucity of torque down low, but the thing really moves if you rev it out.
