The ALMS driver test was 987 Boxster Spder vs. 987 Cayman R. very closely matched.
Boxster Spyder was quicker and easier to drive. I was surprised.

But I was more surprised by the manual Boxster Spyder going faster than a 987 Cayman S on PDK. I think the test was the road set up at Fontana or Homestead. If it were a PDK Boxster SPyder against the PDK Cayman S I'm sure it would have been a walk.

p.s.
I think the 981's are the best looking front end of any water-cooled Porsche to date.
They finally look like cars that match their inflated price tags. The gimmicky Carrera GT side intake I can totally do without. Panamera interiors on these cars will probably never grow on me either.
But fast is fast.
