I have a 98 boxster, and just last night, I "raced" a Cayman. I'm not a racer nor do I believe in driving at incredible speeds on the regular road. I just thought I'd share my short experience with you guys.

We were at red lights, and we acknowledged each other with the "Fellow Porsche Owner What's Up" nod. There were no curvy roads; just a simple quick drag style roadway. We accelerated to the max with only the 1st and 2nd gear used. Fastest we went was probably about 55mph, but I was amazed to see that my boxster kept up with the Caymen! He was about half a car size ahead of me, but still, I was impressed with my low powered treasure. I have to admit, that Cayman.. whew. what a nice looking car. The driver was cool too, he stopped in the middle of the road and waved goodbye as I waited to make a left turn.
