It is understandable that the Boxsterpulls higher G's and faster slalom times that the Carrera. But, I was surprised when R&T came out with these numbers for the Cayman.R&T hastilytested this Cayman in Germany, where as the Boxster was tested in California. I am hoping that R&T will test the Cayman at the same track that they tested the Boxster. I placed an order for a Cayman based on my expectation that the Cayman would pull more G's than the Boxster, which, according to R&T, is only exceeded by truly exotic Ferraris and the Elise. With a radically stiffer body, allowing for a stiffer suspension setup and more horsepower and less weight, the Cayman should exceed the Boxsters slalom numbers. Every review of the Cayman that I have read, except the R&T article's test results, would validate the expectation that the Cayman Swould have faster slalom times than the Boxster S and pull more G's.
