The GT2 is known as the widowmaker... will the Cayman soon be known as the widowermaker?

Phil. Don't speak bad of the loafers!!

Those Caymans are dangerous aye. My last trip to NZ I had one crash in front of me at the track and one crAsh behind me on the Targa. I will be staying clear of the Caymans during the SITT although this will be hard as at last count there were 5 participating!

pS I cannot compete with cucumber Neil. He who walks away from 720 degree high speed aquaplane has been gifted by the gods!

Something's not right with that driving. He keeps the power on even after he's lost it.

How does the Cayman handle on the limit of grip John if you back off the gas?

I'm picking his handbag or hairspray slid under his pedals as we all know real men drive 911's

Ha thats actually quite funny Jamie! But what's funnier is that 911 drivers always have to keep telling each other they are driving superior cars. Isn't that a sign of insecurity?

Yes I bit!

Honest answer is I don't know. The only time it's stepped out on me was the Ron PCNZ run to Huntly and that was due to braking hard for a tightening corner.

Dynamically, it's the best car I've ever driven. I wasn't once out of control on that run from Helena Bay Cafe. Next time I'll play rabbit
