So it stands to reason the difference is most likely due to the fact you're a faster, more talented driver than your rivals in the Caymans and that explains the difference in lap times, and less so because the BMWs in discussion are objectively faster cars if all other conditions (equal talent pro drivers) are scientifically equal.
I think we can all agree on this.

M2 will be faster in real world commuting assuming same transmission as Cayman GTS. Turbo engine with torque everywhere in rev range. But anyway, Porsche n/a sports cars aren't about commuting speed, so this may not be an issue for you.

Has anyone here with a 981 S/GTS had the chance to test drive an M2? I've got my name down (just in case) for an M2 delivery for next Spring, but my original plan was to pick up a 981 Cayman GTS during that timeframe. I'm primarily going to be using it as a daily driver/occasional HPDE car. I've had the chance to test drive an M235 which seemed like it'd be a great daily car, but obviously M2s are tough to come by.
I figure I'll drive the M2 for a few years and then get into a cayman GTS or boxter GTS

Its a PDK with PTV, for reference I test drove a number of vehicles before buying the CGTS including the current M3/M4 (both on road and track). The CGTS in my opinion is in a different league from the point of view of driver dynamics.
I am sure the M2 is great value and for many that like mid-range torque it will be the ducks nuts.
For those that want a fully integrated package with razor sharp handling, it really is very very hard to go past the CGTS.
Make no mistake, the GTS is quick too - my car was VBoxed - 0-60mph in 4.1 and the 1/4m trapped at 114mph/115mph (in around 12.6)
