Why is everyone believing these rumors cooked up from magazines...

The truth "The word from Porsche AG at Parade was that there are no plans to ever build RS, CS, or turbo versions of the Boxster or Cayman. Such performance enhanced track/race versions will continue to be reserved for the flagship 911."

edit:
And yes, I have been told that a mid engine car will eventually lead the line but that is what the CGT is for. Not to burst anyones' bubble but you have to think about it from a Porsche marketing stand point. The Cayman can not be allowed to be faster than the 911(hence a 3.4 engine), or no one would buy a 911. The 911 can never be faster than the CGT or no one would buy a CGT(hence GT2 is not faster than CGT).

Also you have to look at the statistics of Porsche owners. Only a small percent of owners actually track their cars, cabs and SUVs are the best selling autos, and half auto produced are tips. Point being, most owners don't care how well it performs, just that its expensive and looks good at the country club parking lot.
Example: 911 GT3 was a great car at a great price but was a poor seller because many 911 Porsche owners wanted comfort (IE : SUV or CAB) not a harse riding GT3.

I am with you that its retarded that the Cayman isn't as quick as it should be but I understand why. DO you? Do you really? It all about making $$$ and preserving image.
