Good call! Didn't notice that either. I find it interesting you see the same 2 caddys, merc, and lexus from the MT comparo. I get maybe one caddy, and the merc but it should have been an M3 and GT4 in that mix instead too.

Agreed, sorry my comment was geared towards someone else.

They previously included a 458 Speciale, which was definitely not a car any mere mortal could just go out and buy.

yeah really, that's absurd. 
While we're at it, what the hell is the title about: 2016 Porsche Cayman GT4, Not quite as quick as it looks.
Article is mediocre at best but the title did highly annoy me.

We all know it is a great car. Great balance, driver involvement etc. BUT, let's be honest, it's true - It is not as quick as it looks. Yeah, I said it! Doesn't mean I love it any less; however, in this day and age 385hp is not exactly "overwhelming"...this car should be a 430-450hp car.
it would have been good to have 450hp car. But Porsche is conservative in giving hp's very quickly as a Corvette. They always go step by step. If there will be any GT4 RS, that might be close to 430-450hp.
I am happy that I am able to get one of the GT4s from the first generation. It is a MASTERPIECE as a fellow magazine wrote and a milestone in GT history.

The reality - and I know people will probably disagree - is that to the "casual" car guy, the GT4 is an unknown. As far as their concerned, it's "just a Cayman"
Could not care less. We all know what we got (or in my case, getting). I don't need the validation.

.My comment was not meant to degrade the car at all. I am not saying that 385hp is bad. I love it. I am just saying: "Imagine it had 430-450hp and shorter gearing" - It would have been ever "more perfecter" LOL!

I agree that 0-60 is meaningless. I completely judge a car by (1) how it feels when i drive it (and that is completely subjective) and (2) how fast it goes around a circuit and how it feels when it does that.

Although I was just recently impressed by its surprising utility
. Never thought a track toy would make such a great grocery hauler lol.

Maybe the dirty little secret is the GT4 doesn't really handle any better than a CS-X73/PTV? I've had and tracked both.Both with the same alignment settings. Cant really say because the GT4 Cups are stickier than the MPSS i had on the X73/PTV.
I will say i think the X73/PTV may have had less understeer? Not saying i dont like the GT4 better because i do. just a thought.. carl
